Krill oil is a source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are types of omega-3 fatty acids. These components are known for their role in various bodily functions.
Krill oil contains phospholipids, which are a type of fat that plays a key role in the structure of cell membranes.
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in krill oil. Antioxidants are substances that can help protect cells from damage.
Studies have explored the bioavailability of krill oil compared to other sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Research published in "Nutrition Research" and "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" has examined various aspects of krill oil consumption.
