Frequently Asked Questions About Omega-3 Krill Capsule
What is an Omega-3 krill capsule?
An Omega-3 krill capsule is a supplement containing oil extracted from krill, small marine crustaceans. Krill oil provides omega-3 fats and also contains phospholipids and the antioxidant astaxanthin.
What are the benefits of an Omega-3 krill capsule?
An Omega-3 krill capsule provides EPA and DHA, omega-3 fats involved in normal heart and brain function. It can add these fats to a diet, but it is not a treatment or cure for a disease.
Is an Omega-3 krill capsule better than fish oil?
An Omega-3 krill capsule contains oil from krill, while fish oil comes from fish. Krill oil’s omega-3s are carried alongside phospholipids and it contains astaxanthin, but these differences do not establish that it works better for everyone.
How many Omega-3 krill capsules should you take a day?
There is no single daily amount of Omega-3 krill capsules that suits every product or person. EPA and DHA content varies by capsule, so follow the product’s directions and do not exceed its recommended serving.
Should you take an Omega-3 krill capsule with food?
Taking an Omega-3 krill capsule with a meal may reduce stomach discomfort or a fishy aftertaste. Follow the directions for your specific product, since capsule contents and recommended use vary.
What side effects can an Omega-3 krill capsule cause?
An Omega-3 krill capsule can cause mild digestive effects such as heartburn, nausea, stomach discomfort, or loose stools. Stop taking it if symptoms are persistent or severe, and review the product directions.
Can you take an Omega-3 krill capsule if you have a shellfish allergy?
No. People with a shellfish allergy should avoid an Omega-3 krill capsule because krill are crustaceans and krill oil may trigger an allergic reaction.
Can an Omega-3 krill capsule interact with blood thinners?
An Omega-3 krill capsule may affect bleeding risk when combined with blood-thinning medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking it with an anticoagulant, and tell them which product and dose you use.
Does an Omega-3 krill capsule lower cholesterol?
An Omega-3 krill capsule is not a proven substitute for cholesterol-lowering treatment. Its effect on blood lipids can vary with the product and its omega-3 content, so do not stop prescribed medication for it.
How should you store an Omega-3 krill capsule?
Store an Omega-3 krill capsule in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container closed to protect the capsules from moisture and follow any storage instructions on the package.

What is Omega-3 Krill Capsule?
An Omega-3 Krill Capsule contains oil extracted from krill, tiny marine crustaceans found in cold ocean waters. It is a dietary supplement rather than a dish, offering a compact way to take krill oil, which contains omega-3 fats, phospholipids and astaxanthin.
The capsule has little taste or texture when swallowed with water, and is commonly taken alongside a meal rather than eaten on its own. Its nutritional profile is almost entirely fat, so the serving is small. If you choose to use one, follow the directions on the package; taking it with breakfast or another meal can make it easier to fit into a routine.
