1 piece (small) of Krill oil tablet (1 g) has 9 calories. That works out to 900 calories per 100 g. It contains 0 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 1 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
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.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Below the ideal 4:1 — a good omega balance.
A krill oil tablet provides omega-3 fats, including EPA and DHA, and may also contain the antioxidant astaxanthin. It can support heart health as part of a healthy diet, but it is not a treatment or a substitute for prescribed medicine.
Not conclusively. Krill oil supplies omega-3s partly bound to phospholipids and naturally contains astaxanthin, while fish oil comes from fish. Research has not established that krill oil consistently delivers better health outcomes than fish oil.
A krill oil tablet can cause nausea, stomach discomfort, loose stools, or burping in some people. Because krill are shellfish, it can also trigger an allergic reaction in someone with a shellfish allergy.
Follow the serving instructions on your krill oil tablet’s label rather than choosing a dose by capsule size. Products differ in how much EPA and DHA they provide, so the weight of the oil alone does not show how much omega-3 you are getting.
Taking a krill oil tablet with a meal often reduces stomach discomfort and fishy burps. Swallow it as directed on the package; do not crush or open it unless the product instructions specifically say that is safe.
A krill oil tablet is not proven to reliably lower cholesterol. Omega-3 fats may affect blood triglycerides, which are different from LDL and HDL cholesterol; do not use krill oil in place of prescribed cholesterol treatment.
Use caution: omega-3 supplements may affect bleeding, so combining a krill oil tablet with blood-thinning medicine should not be started without checking that the combination is appropriate for you. Do not stop prescribed medicine to take krill oil.
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.
It can. Some people notice fishy-tasting burps or an aftertaste after taking a krill oil tablet, although experiences vary. Taking it with food may help; avoid using a product if its oil smells unusually rancid.
Keep a krill oil tablet tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Follow any refrigeration instructions on the package, and do not use the product past its expiration date.
