When it comes to omega-3 supplements, krill oil stands alone. It's an excellent alternative to fish oil – it provides all of the health benefits but is easier on your stomach (no fishy burps!) and may deliver health-boosting omega-3s more efficiently than fish oil due to better absorption. It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
