A proper balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is important for overall health.
Krill oil is a dietary supplement derived from krill, a small crustacean. It is gaining popularity as an alternative to fish oil.
Roughly 20% of your brain is composed of the essential omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which is a key component of brain cell membranes. Antarctic Krill Oil Omega Boost provides a source of DHA.
Some studies suggest that the body may process the fats in krill oil differently than those in fish oil. This is because the omega-3 fats in fish oil are primarily in the form of triglycerides, while a significant portion of the omega-3 fats in krill oil are found in phospholipids. A few studies have shown that krill oil may be more effective than fish oil at increasing omega-3 levels in the blood. However, more research is needed to understand the reasons for this difference.
Krill oil may be more readily absorbed by the body compared to other marine omega-3 sources.
Krill oil contains a pink-orange pigment called astaxanthin. Studies have shown that krill oil may help reduce symptoms associated with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, such as stiffness, functional impairment, and pain. In a study of individuals with mild knee pain, krill oil was found to potentially reduce pain and improve range of motion.
It may offer unique characteristics such as a smaller dosage, antioxidant content, sustainable sourcing, and different composition compared to regular fish oils.
