Krill oil is a supplement that is rapidly gaining popularity as a superior alternative to fish oil, and we especially love it because of its impacts on cognitive and brain health. Krill Oil has been found to have better absorption by the body in comparison to fish oil, thus you need to take less oil to get the same amount of Omega-3’s in your system. Krill oil is also typically considered to be a more sustainable choice than fish oil, because Krill are so abundant and reproduce quickly. Unlike fish oil, it also contains Astaxanthin a rich antioxidant that protects the oil from oxidation. In addition, because the Krill is more easily absorbed by the body, when consumed it doesn’t not sit in the gut fermenting causing you to have that fishy aftertaste or suffer with fishy burps. Therefore, if you’re tired of taking massive fish oil pills where most of it isn’t absorbed, say goodbye and switch to our Krill Oil where all you have to take is 2 small red softgel per day to give you the Omega-3’s you need.

Overall, Krill Oil is the winner by offering unique benefits of giving us the smaller dosages to get the same amount of Omega-3’s, rich in antioxidants, better absorption, sustainable sourcing, and fewer side effects.

More about Krill Oil

Krill Oil is an essential fat which means your body can’t produce it therefore you have to consume it from outside supplementation or foods. Krill Oil contains essential fatty acids like EPA & DHA, as well as phospholipids and astaxanthin that aren’t found in fish oil, making this the superior formula (1). Since the omega-3 fatty acids are bound to phosphatidylcholine in krill oil, this implies that they may be taken up by the brain tissues more readily than triglyceride-bound omega-3 from fish oil. The benefits of Krill Oil go far beyond just brain health, here are more benefits of this tiny powerhouse.

2. Cardiovascular health

4. Joint health & inflammation

Krill Oil vs. Fish Oil

Fish oil and krill oil both provide DHA and EPA. While fish oil also has high amounts of both essential omega-3s, there is an advantage to the DHA and EPA in krill. Whereas the omega-3s in fish oil are bound to triglycerides, in krill they are bound to phospholipids, making it simpler and easier for the intestines to absorb.

Krill oil contains astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid that acts as a natural free radical scavenger helping ensure that krill oil is as fresh as can be when you take it.

Krill is a tiny organism harvested from icy cold waters of the Antarctic – far from industrial contamination. Their short lifespans, combined with the pristine environment from which they are harvested, ensure that krill have far less potential for toxins and contamination.

The use of krill as a nutrient source is more sustainable than other types of fish oil, such as cod or salmon.

Animal Omega-3’s vs. Plant Omega-3’s

Foods like flax, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts contain the omega-3, ALA (alpha linolenic acid). But this is not the only omega-3 you need. Your body performs best with EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). ALA can convert to DHA, but at an awfully low rate of about 5%. It is mostly animal sources like fish and krill that contain DHA and EPA.
