The Key Benefits of Krill Oil
The benefits of Omega 3 attributed to fish oil also apply to krill oil, including cardio-vascular health care, joint comfort and mobility, healthy skin, and support during PMS.
In particular, krill oil has been shown in research to be more effective than ordinary fish in supporting healthy levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol.
The superior bioavailability characteristics of krill oil including its ability to be absorbed by the brain allows krill oil to support brain development, normal cognition, mental clarity and other mental faculties more effectively than fish oil.
Krill Oil Contains Phospholipid Omega-3’s
A biochemical property of krill oil is that at the molecular level a phosphate molecule is attached. The presence of phosphate molecules classes krill oil omega-3’s as phospholipids.
Phospholipids significantly increase the absorption or bioavailability of krill oil omega-3’s. This means the beneficial omega 3 from krill oil is more readily available to important areas of the body such as brain tissue.
Phosphatidyl choline is the main phospholiplid found in pure krill oil. Choline is required for the development of a growing brain. Choline may also support cognition, mental clarity and focus.
Krill Oil Contains Astaxanthin
Unlike fish oil, krill oil contains an important and powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin. Quality krill oil supplements will contain high levels of astaxanthin. . The astaxanthin in krill helps to make it more effective in supporting joint comfort and mobility, as well as the neuro-protective qualities of the oil.
Krill Oil has no fishy aftertaste
Omega 3 phospholipids from krill do not give any aftertaste, because they are water-soluble and therefore rapidly digested in the stomach. The digestibility of krill means it requires no additives, it is naturally ‘reflux-free’.

The American Heart Association promotes omega-3s as a preventative against cardiovascular disease. Research has shown that the omega-3s in krill oil help prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Krill oil is inherently more stable than fish oil, and lacks a fishy smell and taste.
Krill oil appears to be better absorbed than fish oil.
Krill oil might slow blood clotting. Taking krill oil along with medications that also slow blood clotting might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
