Ingredient and preparation
Krill oil is an oil product that can supply omega-3 fatty acids, but its EPA, DHA and other constituent amounts vary by label.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements
Evidence and limits
NIH describes omega-3 fatty acids broadly. The reviewed source does not establish that krill oil produces a distinct outcome from other omega-3 sources.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements
Safety and a useful record
Fish or shellfish allergy, anticoagulant use and surgery planning are relevant conversation points for omega-3 products. Product quality and labelled EPA/DHA content matter.
Sources: National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
Record EPA and DHA amounts shown on the label rather than treating “krill oil” as a fixed exposure.
