“Supercharged Supplement” Slashes Triglyceride Levels
12% lower levels in weeks
High triglycerides levels are one of the top risk factors when it comes to heart health.
High blood levels of this type of fat contribute to the hardening of the arteries that increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart disease.
It can even contribute to acute inflammation of the pancreas, called pancreatitis.
Fortunately, there’s a simple way to lower your triglyceride levels by as much as 12 percent—without diet or exercise.
You probably already know that fish oil has a high content of omega-3 fatty acids.
You can think of krill oil as a supercharged version of fish oil.
That’s because in addition to containing two of the most well-known omega-3s (EPA and DHA), it also contains choline and astaxanthin.
Besides supporting healthy lipid metabolism, choline is essential for supporting normal homocysteine, and nerve, liver, and muscle functioning.
That brings me back to krill oil and triglycerides.
A recent study showed that compared to placebo, patients taking krill oil saw a 12.7 percent reduction in their triglycerides over 26 weeks.
In addition, krill oil has been clinically proven to increase the Omega-3 Index by 4-8 percent.
Krill’s secret to success are compounds called phospholipids, which help deliver EPA and DHA more efficiently to your cells.
This means you can take a lower dose and get superior results.
This study proved that fact, since the triglyceride-lowering effects were seen at much lower doses of EPA and DHA (1.2 grams), as compared to studies of omega-3s that have demonstrated similar results.
I like to get my omega-3s from fatty fish like salmon and cod.
But if you’re facing high triglyceride levels, you should consider this supercharged version of omega-3s.
In fact, this study showed that krill oil had the strongest impact on people already taking medication for hypertriglyceridemia.
