DHA & EPA – NKO Neptune Krill Oil

January 16, 2010

One common misconception about fish oil (specifically the fatty acids EPA & DHA) is that it improves your blood sugar levels. I love fish oil and it can greatly improve many aspects of your health but the scientific evidence to support the use of fish oil for blood sugar control is just not there. In 2006, nutrition juggernaut, Dr. Alice Lichtenstein (and some others) wrote a review article that focused on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids and serum makers (e.g. things in our blood) of cardiovascular disease. One of the areas they looked at was blood sugar control.

I have been researching natural health for a long time and I have discovered that while there may be some natural multivitamin brands that are a waste of your money, there are also others that are amazingly powerful and will help you achieve a healthier and more happy life.

Fasting blood sugar is exactly what it sounds like – what your blood sugar levels are when you haven’t eaten for a while (i.e. are fasted); this usually means an overnight fast. The researchers looked at 28 different randomized clinical trials (the best kind of studies for determining cause and effect) and found that fish oil supplementation yielded a wide range of results ranging from a 29mg/dL decrease to a 25mg/dL increase (yes you read that right – increase) in FBS.

The findings surrounding the effects of fish oil supplementation were just as exciting (or NOT exciting) in that here was a small but clinically insignificant impact on HbA1c. This means that from a statistical perspective there was an effect but the effect was so small that it wouldn’t have an impact on your health/life.

Many products do not use a synergistic formula because it requires careful planning at the molecular level. I personally have only found a handful of products that do this. I use a product from New Zealand called Total Balance. It is one of many that are very effective. I suggest you do your own research and compare the different options available today. Natural vitamin supplements are very safe for long-term use if you stick to high-quality and proven safe products.

A lot of people are unwilling to do their research, which is why natural supplements receive a bad reputation. The health benefits are there, you just have to find a proven product. If you want to learn more about what I use and recommend to my family and friends, visit my website.
