oi mate is astaxanthin good because it stops lipid peroxidation? is it a vitamin E like effect? its interesting why do krill need it considering theyre in super freezing waters, why would krill need an antioxidant substance since apparently the coldness and being in the water should be enough to stop lipid peroxidation?I think this is why Ray likes dairy so much. Liver has to be fresh, or you risk oxidized iron, same with hamburger, iron and copper in the blood mixes with the meat and catalyzes oxidation. Shellfish can have contaminants. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, so I suppose it is not Peaty, however, it is a good antioxidant. I don't think krill is a big bang for the buck, considering that you are loading up on omega-3 oil, and the amount of astaxanthin isn't enough, a good supplement would provide much more.. Choline can be had from good pastured eggs, but they too have some PUFA. One of the best plant sources of copper is kale, which I think properly cooked is fine to eat. When I sifted through my options, the best and most accessible for me is organic grass-fed dairy, meat, cheese, and eggs. Shellfish in my area is expensive and hard to find fresh with any quality. Liver should be fresh {even Peat has said that}, and not easy to come by also in my area, plus, I do not prefer the taste. So, to some it up for me" boron from fruits, iron and copper from meat and kale, zinc from meat, etc., vitamin A and choline from eggs and dairy, calcium from dairy, etc. I live in Amish country, so I have access to high quality, clean land-based foods, and seafood is more of a challenge, so I eat that on occasion.
astaxanthin supplements have sourcing issues, plus the problem is also the supplement form at least is a 5AR inhibitor, has side effects...
but look at this krill oil supplement...
if you look at the label its 500mg of krill oil, yet it says 120mg omega 3, and 200mg phospholipids per 500mg capsule. What type of fat are the phospholipids? what's the rest of the fat made of? is there some saturated fat in there or something?
choline is in liver and milk right.
i dont like cheese nor eggs, i think nobody is feeding the chickens just grass, even the pastured ones are supplemented with nonsense and kelp. cheese has issues with what they use to make it these days.
I am doing grass fed organic milk, and thinking of implementing the great lakes orange gelatin can for 100g+ protein. can you eat that gelatin straight out the jar? as a protein source, or does it need to be cooked or have water added.
interesting, Amish country meaning like lancaster county, Pennsylvania? there's a lot of raw milk farms there that ship nationwide, raw milk anywhere. dutch meadows is one of them. very expensive to get theirs shipped.
some fruits have some good iron like even mangoes have some, dates, figs. dried pineapples, and coconut water contain a ton of manganese.
