Krill Oil Softgels are an exceptionally good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 supports cardiovascular health by helping to lower the level of triglycerides present in the blood and helping to maintain existing healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Omega-3s support joint health, they have anti-inflammatory properties that may help to reduce swelling, stiffness, and joint pain caused due to inflammation. The omega-3 fatty acid is also known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an important ingredient for optimal brain function. DHA is instrumental in the function of brain cell membranes, which are important for the transmission of brain signals helping to improve communication between the brain cells. Krill Oil Better than Fish Oil Traditionally, fish oil is a great way to get omega-3s naturally. However, some people dislike fish oil for its fishy aftertaste. Fish oil can also be difficult to digest and cause gaseousness. Luckily, krill oil is a relatively recently harvested source that may be superior to fish oil in many ways. The omega-3s in krill oil are part of a phospholipid molecule, which makes them easier for your body to absorb and digest. Krill oil is also a great source of an antioxidant called astaxanthin.
