Power Of Krill Oil For Our Skin

 

When we first introduced our Krill Oil it was cutting edge and there weren't hundreds of clinical research studies on it yet.  

As the years have gone by more and more research studies have been published.  Now they are in the multiple hundreds by now.  

Krill oil continues to amaze us with all its amazing benefits.  

The latest research is how krill benefits our skin. 

Results from two preliminary, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated that krill oil supplementation enhances skin barrier function and boosts skin hydration and elasticity in healthy adults.

These findings, recently published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, highlight the beneficial effects of krill oil on skin barrier integrity.

The studies aimed to assess how two different dosages of krill oil affect skin barrier function—measured by transepidermal water loss (TEWL)—as well as secondary outcomes related to skin hydration, elasticity, and the Omega-3 Index.

Both trials revealed that daily intake of krill oil (1 g and 2 g) led to significant improvements in skin barrier function, hydration, and elasticity compared to the placebo group.

Notably, there was a significant correlation between these enhancements and the Omega-3 Index in red blood cells, underscoring the connection between omega-3 fatty acids and skin health.

Katina Handeland, PhD, Director of R&D at Human Nutrition, commented, “We have long studied how krill oil, rich in phospholipids and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, can positively impact skin health.

The skin, being the largest organ, depends on lipid and ceramide levels for its health and hydration, which are influenced by diet. Omega-3 EPA and DHA play a role in modulating the lipid composition of skin cell membranes and their mediators, thereby supporting the skin barrier.”

Phospholipids possess unique molecular properties that allow them to manage water retention in the skin effectively.

Furthermore, both essential fatty acids and phospholipids have been shown to positively influence skin ceramide levels, which typically decline with age.

The outcomes of these studies reinforce previous research by demonstrating krill oil's role in enhancing skin barrier function and moisture retention.

Assessments were made at the start, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. 

Both studies found that the krill oil groups showed a significant, increase in their Omega-3 Index level compared to the placebo.

Participants in the krill oil groups experienced significant reductions in TEWL(water loss) and improvements in hydration and elasticity compared to those receiving a placebo.

Significant correlations were observed between changes in the Omega-3 Index and improvements in TEWL, hydration, and elasticity in both studies.

 

The Value of Krill Oil for Skin Health:

Dry skin is a major concern for many consumers, highlighting the need for nutritional solutions like krill oil, which offers several benefits for skin health.

Krill oil's essential nutrients—phospholipids, omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, choline, and astaxanthin—work synergistically to support the skin’s barrier function.

Phospholipids are crucial for cell structure and integrity, and they assist in delivering nutrients to skin cells and others throughout the body.

EPA and DHA contribute to maintaining skin hydration and elasticity while also playing a role in inflammation modulation.

Research indicates that krill oil can also shield the skin from UV damage by influencing genes that produce hyaluronic acid and collagen—molecules essential for preventing wrinkles and preserving skin moisture, potentially helping to keep the skin youthful and healthy.

We need to maintain a balance between water content and how is passes through our skin.  Supplementing with krill oil can provide our skin with a beneficial barrier and daily boost to health skin.
