When to take Krill Oil

Take krill oil with a meal. The phospholipid-bound EPA and DHA absorb well and cause less reflux than triglyceride fish oil, but krill provides less omega-3 per gram, so check the EPA/DHA total on the label. Avoid if you have a shellfish allergy.

FAQ

Krill vs fish oil?

Krill has lower EPA/DHA per gram but in phospholipid form, which absorbs well and reduces fishy reflux.
