Is Fish Oil Obsolete? Exploring Better Ways
to Protect Your Heart and Brain
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
Fish oil has become the most popular supplement in America — and for a good reason. Hundreds of scientific studies have demonstrated that the omega-3 fats it contains are extremely effective at protecting the heart[1] and brain[2] — so effective, in fact, that even the mainstream medical establishment now stands behind it. In addition, a mountain of research has shown that omega-3s are also critical for mood balance,[3] immune strength,[4] supple joints,[5] sharp vision[6] and youthful-looking skin.[7] The list of benefits simply goes on and on. However, some cutting-edge experts now believe there is a supplement even better for you than fish oil. Is this possible?
Shocking Omega-3 Discovery Makes Fish Oil Obsolete
As amazing as the benefits of fish oil are, researchers have recently discovered a surprising new source of omega-3s that they claim is so much more powerful, it practically renders fish oil obsolete! But is this just the latest omega-3 fad or a true scientific breakthrough?Please keep reading and I’ll break down the facts for you.
I’m Joshua Corn, Editor-in-Chief of the Live in the Now newsletter, one of the fastest growing natural health publications in the nation. Our mission is to help people take control of their health by empowering them with information and providing practical, natural health solutions. I work to uncover the truth about the safety and effectiveness of popular nutritional supplements like fish oil.
As a matter of principle, I only recommend a supplement if there’s conclusive evidence that it really works. And by evidence, I mean hard science and verified case studies. And as I’ve discovered, there’s no shortage of evidence backing this new omega-3 miracle that has me putting my fish oil supplements aside.
Hailing from the pristine deep blue waters of the Antarctic Ocean, clinical studies have shown that this remarkable omega-3 supplement is up to 50 times more effective than fish oil at:
Are You Critically Deficient in Omega-3s?
Every cell in your body requires omega-3s to function properly. Yet according to many experts, nearly all Americans are critically deficient.[8] When you lack omega-3s, you’re vulnerable to a wide range of health problems, including inflammation and joint pain, mood fluctuations, cognitive decline, vision loss, premature skin aging and heart trouble.
However when you replenish your omega-3 levels, you’ll begin to notice amazing improvements in your health. But as emerging research is beginning to reveal, not all omega-3 supplements are created equal and fish oil may not be the safest or most effective way to get your omega-3s.
The Dirty Little Secret About Fish Oil Supplements
There’s big money in fish oil and unfortunately, many supplement manufacturers looking to capitalize on fish oil’s popularity try to pass off worthless pills that contain pathetically low levels of omega-3s. What’s worse,these pills are often filled with toxins like mercury and PCBs.
In recent lab tests, Consumer Reports found that 1 in 3 fish oil supplements fell short of claims made on their labels.[9] Some of these pills even contained rancid, oxidized or heavily polluted oil. Sadly, the problems with fish oil quality are only getting worse, as the oceans become increasingly polluted.
A New Omega-3 Source That Renders Fish Oil Obsolete
You may have heard about a new omega-3 supplement called krill oil that some experts, such as Dr. Oz, claim is healthier and more powerful than fish oil. Well, I’ve spent enough time in the natural health industry to know that not every trendy new supplement is worth its salt, so I set out to investigate the claims about this new discovery.
It quickly became obvious to me that krill, tiny pink crustaceans that are abundant in the pristine waters surrounding Antarctica, is vastly superior to fish oil as a source of omega-3s in many ways. Here’s why:
Reduce Dangerous Inflammation by 30%
Unfortunately, the standard American diet is high in unhealthy fats, which can promote inflammation and damage cells throughout your body.[19] Thisinflammation is thought to be a major culprit in cardovascular issues and brain aging, and is often responsible for various "mystery symptoms," such as joint pain, fatigue, allergies and dry skin.
Research shows that omega-3s found in krill oil can neutralize these unhealthy fats, keeping inflammation at bay. In addition, krill oil has been shown to be particularly effective at combating joint pain and inflammation.[20] One landmark clinical study showed that after just 14 days of krill oil supplementation, inflammation markers dropped 30%, while they rose by 32% in the placebo group.[21] In all my years in the natural health industry, I’ve never seen any supplement reduce inflammatory markers so quickly and efficiently.
Harmonize Your Cholesterol Ratios and Protect Your Heart
For a healthy cardiovascular system, you need strong, pliable blood vessels, and maintaining balanced levels of LDL (bad) and HDL (good) cholesterol is vital to keeping your blood vessels healthy. The trouble starts when LDL cholesterol oxidizes, building up inside your blood vessels and arteries, causing them to harden.
It turns out that there is perhaps no substance on earth more effective than krill oil at balancing LDL and HDL. In fact, one clinical study showed that just one-third of the amount of krill oil is up to 10 times more effective than fish oil at balancing cholesterol. That’s right — krill oil was shown to be up to30 times more effective! Those taking krill oil had their LDL cholesterol reduced by as much as 32% vs. 5% for fish oil, and their HDL cholesterol levels improved by up to 43% vs. 4% for fish oil. In another head-to-head study, krill oil was shown to balance triglycerides by up to 28%, compared to just 3% with fish oil![22]
Nourish, Protect and Supercharge Your Brain
Earlier, I mentioned that krill is rich in a type of healthy fat not found in fish oil, calledphospholipids. When you nourish your brain with phospholipids, you’re giving it the fuel it needs to function optimally.[23,24] You’llexperience better moods, more alertness, improved focus and concentration and fewer “senior moments.”
A recent quality of life survey conducted on people taking either krill oil or fish oil revealed that those taking krill oil experienced a 48% improvement in mental health, compared to only a 15% improvement for fish oil.[25] Krill oil has also been shown to be extremely effective at combatting mood imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome in women.[26]
Astaxanthin: Krill Oil’s Antioxidant Edge
In addition to its miraculous omega-3 benefits, krill oil is also incredibly rich in the antioxidant astaxanthin, the natural carotenoid pigment that gives krill, as well as salmon and flamingos, their rosy hues. Astaxanthin ,which is thought to be one of the most powerful antioxidants every discovered, has been hailed for its anti-aging properties. It’s been proven to help prevent wrinkles, blemishes and dryness, and even reverse years of skin damage.[27]
Astaxanthin is unique in that, unlike many antioxidants, it can cross the blood-brain barrier to protect your brain and nervous system[28] and the blood-retinal barrier to protect your eyes.[29] Astaxanthin has also been shown to enhance immunity,[30]strength and endurance, making it easier to recover from exercise.[31]
As an added bonus, astaxanthin acts as natural preservative for the krill oil, preventing oxidation and rancidity, giving it a longer shelf life, as well as eliminating any possible “fishy” aftertaste that you might be used to with fish oil.
Stop Wasting Your Money on Fish Oil —

I stopped taking fish oil supplements, and I’m now reaping a multitude of undeniable health benefits by taking krill oil instead. I invite you to shop around and do your research, but the krill oil supplement that I personally take and recommend is calledOceanPure® Krill Oil.
In addition to my work with Live in the Now, I own a company called Stop Aging Now, which has been making premium grade dietary supplements for over 15 years. Working with my Scientific Advisory Board, I created OceanPure because I wanted to be 100% certain that I was taking the purest, most potent krill oil supplement possible. It was also important to me that it was affordable enough that everyone could enjoy the same benefits.
I take OceanPure Krill Oil every single day without fail. Here’s why you should too:
