Frequently Asked Questions About Omega3 Krill Oil
What is Omega3 Krill Oil made from?
Omega3 Krill Oil is extracted from krill, tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that live in the ocean. It provides the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA and may also contain astaxanthin, a naturally occurring pigment in krill.
Is Omega3 Krill Oil better than fish oil?
No clear evidence shows that Omega3 Krill Oil is better than fish oil for health outcomes. Krill oil comes from crustaceans and its omega-3s are mainly attached to phospholipids, while fish oil comes from fish; both supply EPA and DHA.
Does Omega3 Krill Oil cause fishy burps?
It can, although not everyone gets them. Omega3 Krill Oil may cause fishy-tasting burps, an aftertaste, or stomach discomfort. Taking it with a meal instead of on an empty stomach may make these effects less bothersome.
When should you take Omega3 Krill Oil?
There is no required time of day to take Omega3 Krill Oil. Taking it with a meal is a practical choice if it upsets your stomach, and consistency may help you remember it; follow the directions on the product label.
How much Omega3 Krill Oil should you take per day?
There is no single daily amount that suits every Omega3 Krill Oil product because the EPA and DHA content varies. Follow the serving instructions on its label, and account for omega-3s from any other supplements you take.
Can Omega3 Krill Oil lower triglycerides or cholesterol?
Omega3 Krill Oil may affect triglyceride levels, but it is not a dependable way to lower LDL cholesterol. Supplement formulations and amounts differ, and krill oil should not replace prescribed treatment for high cholesterol.
Can you take Omega3 Krill Oil with blood thinners?
Omega3 Krill Oil may affect bleeding risk, particularly when taken in larger amounts, and could interact with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines. If you take one of these medicines, ask your doctor or pharmacist before starting it; do not stop your prescription yourself.
Is Omega3 Krill Oil safe during pregnancy?
Safety and appropriate use of Omega3 Krill Oil during pregnancy are not established for every product. It should not automatically be treated as a substitute for a prenatal supplement or a recommended source of DHA.
Can Omega3 Krill Oil replace fish oil?
Omega3 Krill Oil can provide EPA and DHA, so it may serve as another omega-3 supplement option, but it is not a one-for-one replacement by capsule count. Compare the EPA and DHA amounts on the labels rather than the total oil.
How should you store Omega3 Krill Oil, and can it go rancid?
Yes, Omega3 Krill Oil can deteriorate when exposed to heat, light, or air. Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark place, unless its label says to refrigerate it, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes noticeably.

What is Omega3 Krill Oil?
Omega3 Krill Oil is an oil supplement made from krill, tiny crustaceans harvested mainly from cold southern waters. It is usually sold in softgel capsules, though some products come as a liquid, and naturally contains omega-3 fats and astaxanthin.
It is generally taken as a supplement rather than used for cooking; many people take capsules with a meal. The oil has a rich, marine character, so adding it directly to food may not suit every palate. Nutritionally, it is almost entirely fat, with no protein or carbohydrate. If you prefer not to swallow capsules, check whether a liquid version is available and follow the product’s own serving instructions.
