Whenever human kind has needed a solution to problems related to their health, nature has been at the forefront of providing solutions for every problem that has posed a threat to human health. The major problem with human health has always been related to the heart and cholesterol has always been one of the greatest problems known to man. Control of cholesterol levels in the human body has been achieved by many forms of medication known to man through science but the best part is that nature itself provides some of the best remedies to the problem. Take for instance fish oil, a source of the coveted omega 3 fatty acids which help reduce LDL cholesterol commonly known as bad cholesterol and boosts HDL cholesterol or good cholesterol.

Krill are tiny creatures found at the bottom of the aquatic food chain. Just above the phytoplankton, Krill are food for most marine life such as whales, dolphins, seas otters and several species of fish themselves. The natural excretions of Krill which we call Krill oil has a high level of Omega 3 fatty acids and is also rich in the anti oxidant Astaxanthin. This is excellent when it comes to preventing cancer causing free radical damage to body tissues. Krill oil is also known to reduce inflammation due to arthritis and is found to help reduce the effects of Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS). Krill oil is used in several medications and marketed as a useful supplement in pharmacies. Unless you have allergy to seafood, you would find Krill oil to be a wonderful supplement to your health needs. Try it out after consulting your physician today.

Be it food, shelter or even substances that supplement the health of a creature, Mother Nature provides for everything. The human race is perhaps one of the luckiest species in terms of what nature provides it with. Take the instance of Krill Oil. Krill Oil is derived from the extract of shrimp like crustaceans called Krill. These sub oceanic organisms are at the bottom of the food chain of aquatic life with only phytoplankton which they feed on being the only ones below Krill in the chain. Krill are feasted upon by creatures such as whales, dolphins, sea-otters and a range of other fish. Commercial Krill fishing is common in places like Canada and Japan.
