Krill Oil - A Good Way To Alleviate The Symptoms Of Arthritis
Many sufferers of arthritis are aware that omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can reduce and lessen the severity of arthritis symptoms. Studies show that krill oil has the same properties, but that they are stronger.
Triglycerides and phospholipids are digested and absorbed in different ways in the small intestine. Omega-3 phospholipids follow simpler digestion and distribution routes than omega-3 triglycerides in the human body.
Specifically, the research on krill oil has established with a high level of certainty that a daily dose of 300 mg of krill oil will quickly (within a few weeks, up to a month) both reduce inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The studies have been done with a daily intake of krill of 300 mg. That is less than even one capsule of krill oil, which usually contains 500 mg of krill oil. One researcher commented: "It seems likely that the effect would be even more pronounced with a larger daily dose than 300 mg".Phospholipids are vital in protecting membranes from free radical attack and toxic injuries. The composition of phospholipids in krill oil appears to offer that protection in an optimal way. In addition, krill oil contains the powerful antioxidants astaxanthin and canthaxanthin. The former appears to be the most potent antioxidant found in nature, and prevents the activities of the harmful free radicals. Practically no other food or supplement contain astaxanthin or canthaxanthin, and these unique antioxidants are instrumental in making krill oil an effective and powerful way to get some relief from the symptoms of arthritis.All these factors, including the antioxidants and the phospholipids, contribute to make krill oil a potent weapon against the painful symptoms of arthritis.

Can the severe symptoms of psoriatic arthritis be reduced?
After several mis-diaganoses since my first visit to hospital in September 06 - they thought it was fractured metatarsals/ cuboid bones - my specialist has eventually realised that I am a long standing sufferer of Psoriasis. Psoriatic Arthritis is now suspected after a bone scan and the blood tests should confirm it.
I am due to see my specialist again on 10th January and the foot pain/ difficulty in walking has now spread to my knee causing locking, extreme pain and clicking noises.
Even more tests and delays are now anticipated, possibly a MRI scan with a 19 week waiting list and a sample of fluid from my knee. Meanwhile I am only taking un-prescribed drugs - Ibprofen and Anadin Extra - and am worried that irreversable damage may be caused due to the delay in diagnosis. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Will I always suffer pain and disability? Why don't doctors ask the right questions & arrange the right tests when you see them? I feel let down by our Health Service
