DHA & EPA – NKO Neptune Krill Oil

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Many organic food and supermarkets have supplements claiming to be DHA products or [pure, Norwegian, Deep Water, Refined, ---- you fill in the blank] omega 3 fish oils. In this article we will try to straighten out some of the misconceptions caused by these advertising slogans and discuss the real connection between DHA and brain development.

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.

After doing some more of what I call “statistical voodoo” the researchers summed up all the research and concluded that fish oil caused a non-significant increase in FBS and HbA1c. So not only does fish oil have no effect on blood sugar control it actually has a minor (very minor) negative effect.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I am a big believer in fish oil supplementation and recommend that all my clients supplement with fish oil on a daily basis but taking an EPA/DHA supplement each day in an effort to control blood sugar levels is an exercise in futility.
