Gut Health Benefits
Krill oil can alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal illnesses such as ulcerative colitis, peptic ulcer, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBM). It serves as a precursor to the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which is essential to intestinal health. It feeds the beneficial bacteria, such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, in the digestive tract and may help increase their numbers. Krill oils also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
Its phosphatidylcholine layers can help maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Maintaining a strong intestinal lining can lessen their risk of developing a leaky gut, which is linked to many health problems. A damaged gut lining makes the intestinal mucosa less effective in blocking the passage of unwanted substances such as pathogens and gluten.
H. pylori is a common cause of ulcers in the stomach lining or the intestine duodenum lining. It can cause hematemesis and may progress into gastric cancer. Omega-3s in krill oil may reduce stomach inflammation, which might aid in treating H. pylori. The development of H. pylori in culture and the colonization of the gastric mucosa can be suppressed by DHA. Krill oil reduces bacterial adhesion and invasion of epithelial cells and helps restore the intestinal barrier during inflammation.
