A Closer Look at Omega-3 Absorption
Fish Oil vs. Krill Oil
Story at-a-glance
- A large review of 26 clinical trials compared how well your body absorbs omega-3 fats from fish oil versus krill oil
- Krill oil raised omega-3 levels in the blood more efficiently at lower doses, while fish oil needed much higher amounts to have the same effect
- Krill oil’s unique phospholipid structure allowed it to slip into cell membranes more easily, making it a safer and more effective option for many people
- Unlike most fish oils that spoil easily, krill oil contains astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant that keeps it stable and resistant to rancidity
- Clinical trials show krill oil helps reduce knee pain and stiffness in people with osteoarthritis, improves skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier strength, and lowers liver fat
