Benefits of Krill Oil
It’s been said a million times, fish oil is great for you because it has Omega 3 fatty acids. By now everyone who has ever been on a health information website knows this. What many people don’t know is that most of the fish oil supplements they consume simply passes through the system. While this is the problem with any kind of supplementation, this is especially true of fish oil supplements. There is a lot of research to back up the claim that absorption in the digestive system is far better for natural food sources than for supplements. Nonetheless, for those who don’t eat fish, supplementation is necessary and the best seafood based supplement is Krill.
