Krill are shrimp-like crustacean shellfish found in the Antarctic Ocean. Like fatty fish, they provide the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. However, Krill oil has superior absorption of these Omega-3s when compared to an equal amount of EPA + DHA from regular triglyceride Fish oil. The benefits of Krill oil include support for a healthy heart.†

What is Krill oil good for?

Krill oil benefits come from its heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. This type of oil also contains Astaxanthin, a carotenoid that gives Krill oil its reddish color.†

Is Krill oil the same as Fish oil?

No. While the benefits of Krill oil and Fish oil are similar—both support a healthy heart with EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids—the difference is in their source. Fish oil is sourced from fatty fish, such as anchovy, whose fatty acids are attached to triglycerides. Krill oil is not sourced from fish, but from shellfish (small crustaceans similar to shrimp) and their fatty acids are attached to phospholipids. Because of this difference, Krill oil has better absorption** of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA when compared to an equal amount in Fish oil from triglycerides. Krill oil also contains the carotenoid Astaxanthin.†

Can you take Krill oil and Fish oil together?

Because both Krill oil and Fish oil provide Omega-3 fatty acids to support a healthy heart, we do not recommend taking them together. When deciding on Krill oil vs Fish oil it comes down to your preference. In addition to Krill oil, Nature Made® has a variety of Omega-3 supplements at different dosages so that you can find our best Krill oil supplement or Fish oil supplement to fit your needs.†

Can I give these Omega 3 Krill Oil softgels to my child?

No, Krill oil supplements like this one are designed for adults. Check out our Kids First® Gummies for some kid-friendly supplements.
