Krill Oil Supplements

Krill oil supplements provide marine omega-3 fatty acids and are usually sold as softgel capsules. When comparing products, look at the actual amounts of the principal omega-3 fatty acids per daily serving rather than the total weight of krill oil alone. Capsule size, number of servings, added antioxidants, gelatin source and shellfish-allergen labelling may also differ. Follow the recommended serving and consider the combined amount from other fish-oil or omega-3 products. Possible effects can include an unpleasant taste, heartburn, nausea or digestive discomfort. Higher amounts of omega-3 supplements may interact with warfarin and other anticoagulant medicines, so customers taking blood thinners should seek professional advice.
