Krill Oil Helps Preserve Muscle 

and 

Boost Your Energy Levels

Story at-a-glance

• Krill oil helps preserve muscle and boost energy in elderly adults and people who are trying to lose weight (especially when reducing calories significantly over time)
• A recent study found that people taking 4 grams of krill oil daily retained more muscle strength and size while fasting compared to those who took a placebo
• In adults over 65, krill oil improved grip strength, thigh muscle thickness, and neuromuscular response — even without added exercise — after just six months of use
• Krill oil helped muscle cells burn fat more efficiently and increased levels of leucine, a key amino acid that signals your body to build new muscle tissue
• Krill oil also activated genes that help transport sugar into muscle cells for energy use, supporting both metabolic health and muscle performance from the inside out

Krill oil, a marine-sourced oil extracted from tiny shrimp-like creatures living in the Antarctic, has become widely popular due to its omega-3 fats and astaxanthin content. It has been widely studied and recognized for its cardiovascular, cognitive, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
