What is Krill oil tablet?

Krill oil tablet is a dietary supplement made with oil extracted from krill, small marine crustaceans. It is a concentrated source of fat and omega-3, rather than an ingredient used in everyday cooking; the nutrition profile is almost entirely fat, with no carbohydrate or protein. The small tablet format makes it easy to take without measuring oil.

In places where krill oil is commonly sold, people generally take it with water alongside a meal, rather than adding it to food. Follow the directions on the pack and choose a routine that suits you; taking it with a meal can make it easier to include consistently. It can sit alongside a varied diet that includes other sources of healthy fats, such as oily fish, nuts or seeds.

How much krill oil should I take?

Use a krill oil tablet during pregnancy only if your doctor recommends it. Safety and the appropriate amount depend on the individual, and krill is a shellfish source that matters if you have a shellfish allergy.
