When it comes to the essential health care products for the middle-aged and the elderly, the first thing many people think of is fish oil. Because fish oil is rich in omega-3 ingredients that are beneficial to human body, it is very popular in the food supplement and health care products market at home and abroad. It can be said that the first health care product that every household comes into contact with is fish oil. But in recent years, its status has been greatly replaced by "krill oil". What is prawn oil called "blood vessel scavenger"? Is the efficacy of prawn oil as powerful as the rumors say?
Antarctic krill, a "red shrimp" whose ability to clear blood lipids far exceeds that of fish oil
Krill oil is mainly extracted from Antarctic krill, a small shrimp like organism in Antarctic waters. It takes about 100 krill to extract a drop of Antarctic krill oil. Therefore, Antarctic krill oil is very precious.
The environment in Antarctica is pure. Krill is still at the bottom of the Antarctic marine food chain. Compared with other food materials, there are few heavy metal pollution residues in the body. In addition, the omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid structure of shrimp oil is also very special. Most of them present the form of marine phospholipid omega-3, which can be better absorbed by the human body. The absorption rate is close to 100%, which is 3-5 times that of fish oil. In addition to the above advantages, prawn oil is popular in the world mainly because it is outstanding in cardiovascular health maintenance.
Krill oil is rich in marine phospholipids, phospholipid omega-3 (DHA and EPA) unsaturated fatty acids, choline and astaxanthin. Marine phospholipids and omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids are internationally recognized cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health nutrients with excellent effects in heart health care; Choline can nourish the nervous system and improve cognitive function; Astaxanthin, as a natural antioxidant, has the ability of scavenging free radicals and anti-aging. The comprehensive maintenance of four kinds of nutrition, combined with the "hydrophilic and lipophilic" characteristics of marine phospholipid molecules in Antarctic krill oil, can effectively remove the grease garbage in the blood vessels, make the blood vessels clean, regulate the blood lipid status, improve the cognitive function of the brain, improve knee pain, protect the skin, delay aging and other benefits.
Prawn oil can't be fooled: get rid of the industry slang and remember "two looks and one smell"
Because of the numerous advantages of prawn oil, prawn oil health food has also sprung up like mushrooms. However, because of this, prawn oil health products on the market are mixed. There are not only industry slang such as adding artificial pigments and falsely claiming that "the content of astaxanthin is high", but also a lot of products with low nutritional content.
In order to effectively protect the rights and interests of consumers, some leading enterprises and brands in the industry have begun to explore the establishment of a public welfare product quality standard system. Among them, Vik, an international medical and health care brand trusted by users, has creatively released the "prawn oil level appraisal pyramid". At present, the grading pyramid of prawn oil is a relatively recognized standard in the industry. It identifies and grades prawn oil from the aspects of color, component content, taste and so on, providing a set of professional and effective solutions for us to correctly select high-quality prawn oil.
In addition to identifying the pyramids, here are four simple tips for choosing high-quality Antarctic shrimp oil: "two looks and one smell":
First look at the color of krill oil: high quality krill oil is ruby red, pure and crystal clear. The poor krill oil is dark and dark. It is very likely that the artificial astaxanthin is added or the pigment is added to cover up the impurities.
Second, look at the content of ingredients: the content of marine phospholipids in high-quality krill oil is more than 40%, which can be determined by looking at the content of phospholipids in the product label. Regular krill oil brands will clearly indicate the content of krill oil in the label. Taking one 500mg krill oil as an example, the content of phospholipids in high-quality krill oil is 280mg, and the nutritional ratio of phospholipids is 56%.
The third smell: the high-quality shrimp oil has a faint smell of fresh shrimp without fishy smell / peculiar smell, while other oils have a fishy smell caused by obvious corruption and impurities.
Fourth, cut the skin bag to see the oil halo: the high-quality shrimp oil is extruded thick, not easy to spread, and there is no oil halo on the edge; The inferior shrimp oil is turbid and uneven, easy to diffuse, drops on the paper quickly flow away, and the edge immediately becomes oily.
With the continuous improvement of national health awareness, the benefits of krill oil for the maintenance of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems are so outstanding that more and more people begin to abandon fish oil and buy krill oil dietary supplement products for nutritional supplement. However, we must not be careless about what we import. We must take the initiative to identify, avoid fake and shoddy products with unclear ingredient identification, muddy and dark color, bad smell and sparse content, and choose pure Antarctic phosphorus shrimp oil with high quality and good reputation, so as to achieve the purpose of scientific nutrition supplement and effective care of the heart and brain~
