Krill Oil’s Vital Lipids Offer A Range of BenefitsKrill oil is sometimes compared to fish oil as an omega-3 dietary supplement. But authentic krill oil complex contains a greater range of nutrients, and its benefits far exceed those of fish oils. Most of the DHA and EPA of krill oil occurs linked into larger phospholipid molecules (pronounced fos-fo-lip-ids). These are preformed building blocks for the cell membranes that drive life processes. In fish oil, by contrast, all the DHA and EPA occurs as triglycerides, which are storage forms of fatty acids (“fat”). The DHA and EPA has to be removed from the triglycerides, then linked into phospholipids prior to inserting them into cell membranes.Krill oil gets its red color from astaxanthin, a carotenoid nutrient. Astaxanthin is a potent membrane antioxidant and helps ensure krill oil’s exceptional shelf life stability. Fish oils lack astaxanthin and are vulnerable to premature rancidity—oxidative degradation of the fragile DHA and EPA molecules. Krill’s phospholipids, DHA, EPA, astaxanthin—all can be readily inserted into cell membranes.Krill oil has produced impressive benefits in clinical trials, superior when compared against fish oil.Superior to Fish Oil for Premenstrual ChallengesIn a large proportion of women, premenstrual problems affect life quality by negatively affecting mood and other mental state and by generating pain and other physical problems. In a double blind trial, krill oil was compared against fish oil for the relief of ten well recognized premenstrual complaints.4Seventy (70) women of childbearing age consumed 2 grams of either a krill oil or a fish oil, daily for the first month. Then for the next 2 months, they took the assigned supplements for just eight days prior to menstruation and another 2 days subsequent. They filled in detailed questionnaires and kept track of their daily analgesic (painkiller) medication use.

Super DHA each carlson Super DHA soft gel contains 1000 mg of fish body oil concentrate from a special blend of Norwegian fish oils which provides 500 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)and 100 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). This product is regularly tested using AOAC international protocols for potency and purity by and independent, FDA registered laboratory and found to be free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium,lead,PCB’s and 28 other contaminants.

Dr. Weston A. Price discovered High Vitamin Butter Oil in the 1930’s. The pinnacle of his X-Factor discovery was the extreme synergistic effect between High Vitamin Butter Oil and traditional cod liver oil. “One without the other did not do his patients justice, but the two together worked like magic”.

X-Factor GoldTM High Vitamin Butter Oil is made from dairy oil extracted without heat from cows that eat 100% rapidly growing grass. The speed of the grass growth, timing of the grazing of this grass, species of grass, climate and extraction method are all important to make real X-Factor GoldTM High Vitamin Butter Oil.

The Blue IceTM Fermented Cod Liver Oil brings us back in time, when cod liver oil was truly a sacred food. The Blue IceTM Fermented Cod Liver Oil is lacto-fermented and extracted without heat. The fish are wild caught in the Arctic region.

The combination of these attributes provides our community with a pure, clean and nutrient rich sacred food.

Blue IceTM Royal offers our community a nutrient dense sacred food blend of 1/3 X-Factor GoldTM High Vitamin Butter Oil and 2/3 Blue IceTM Fermented Cod Liver Oil.

Safety warning from the manufacturer’s website:

There are many discussions on the topic of food allergies topic found on the web. Some specifically discuss cod liver oil. There may be many antigens that cause allergic reactions. People who suffer from food allergies can react differently to any brand/lot/type of fish oil and maybe even individual packages.

If you or a family member suspects a food allergy please consult your physician prior to using any and all fish oil/ cod liver oil products. There are discussions indicating that if one has a shellfish allergy they should never take a cod liver oil or other products from the sea such as some calcium supplements.
