Krill Oil Caplets

Krill oil caplets

Krill oil caplets contain krill oil, which is derived from tiny crustaceans called krill. Krill oil is used to treat and prevent medical conditions ranging from high cholesterol to obesity. Krill oil supplements are high in omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, astaxanthins, vitamin E, and canthaxanthin. Krill oil may reduce the symptoms of arthritis because it lowers levels of C-reactive protein in the body, and high levels of C-reactive protein indicate high levels of inflammation. Taking krill oil caplets on a daily basis may also significantly lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Some people also take krill oil supplements to help regulate energy expenditure and reduce appetite. The omega-3 fats in krill oil may also help reduce the risk of heart disease, improve joint health, and help protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Taking krill oil caplets

Krill oil caplets contain the purified oil in a softgel capsule. You can take one small softgel each day to get the same effects as a much larger amount of fish oil. Because they are small, krill oil caplets are easy to swallow. They also do not leave a fishy aftertaste unlike some fish oil supplements. However, some people take both krill oil and fish oil, and using both products simultaneously is completely fine.
