❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What makes krill oil different from fish oil?
Krill oil contains omega-3s bound to phospholipids rather than triglycerides, which may enhance absorption. It also naturally contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant not found in standard fish oil. Many users find krill oil easier to digest with less fishy aftertaste.
How much krill oil should I take daily?
Most people take 1-2 capsules daily (500-1000mg). For heart health benefits, aim for at least 250mg combined EPA and DHA daily. Two capsules of AstaxaKrill provide 220mg of EPA+DHA.
Is krill oil sustainable?
Yes! Our krill oil is sourced from Aker BioMarine Superba Krill, which follows MSC-certified sustainable fishing practices in the pristine Antarctic waters. Krill populations are carefully monitored to ensure ecological balance.
Can I take krill oil if I'm allergic to fish?
No. Krill are crustaceans, but individuals with shellfish or fish allergies should avoid krill oil due to potential cross-reactivity. Always consult your doctor if you have seafood allergies.
Will krill oil help with joint health?
While krill oil is primarily known for cardiovascular support, some studies suggest omega-3s may support joint comfort. For targeted joint support, consider our Flexi-Time Glucosamine Complex or CurcuminBoost Turmeric.
Does krill oil cause fishy burps?
Krill oil typically causes fewer digestive issues and less fishy aftertaste than fish oil. Taking capsules with food and storing them in the fridge can further minimize any potential reflux.
How long does it take to see benefits?
Omega-3 levels in your body build up over time. Most people notice benefits within 4-12 weeks of consistent daily use. For best results, take krill oil as part of a long-term wellness routine.
Can I take krill oil with other supplements?
Yes, krill oil pairs well with most supplements. It's particularly complementary with Vitamin D3+K2 for bone and cardiovascular health, or ImmuneBoost Vitamin C for immune support.
