Fish Oil vs. Krill Oil
Which Is the Better?
Fish oil has been referred to as the wonder supplement from the deep. Then, as
though from nowhere, krill oil emerges and starts to
give fish oil a run for its money.
But as the fish oil vs. krill oil war
continues, the question remains; which one of the two is the better
omega-3 source?
To help as find a possible winner, we shall look at the
strengths and weakness of each.
Reasons for Using Omega-3 SupplementsObtain omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA
and EPA fatty acids.Eating fish or seafood on a regular basis is
impractical for a good number of people.Eating lots of fish can expose you to
unhealthy levels of contaminants such as mercury, lead, and PCBs.
We shall now look at the two omega-3 sources and hopefully come up with a
winner.
Fish oilObtained from oily fish such
salmon, tuna, cod, and halibut.
Fish Oil ProsContains higher concentrations of DHA and EPA, two most important fatty acids, than krill oil.
More extensively researched.
Fish Oil ConsHigher concentrations of contaminants such as mercury, lead, PCBs, and dioxins.
Real concern about sustainability due to over-harvesting.
More prone to oxidation and rancidity.
Krill OilObtained from krill, tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that live in cold
ocean waters. It is mainly harvested from the pristine
waters of the Antarctica.
Krill Oil ProsGreater bioavailability and absorption due to being bound in phospholipids.
Contains higher levels of antioxidants vitamin A, vitamin E, and astaxanthin.
Virtually no contaminants due to being low in the food chain.
Krill Oil ConsLower concentrations of DHA and EPA fatty acids than fish oil.
Not as well-studied as fish oil.
Costs more than fish oil.
Both fish oil and krill oil have certain advantages
and disadvantages.
There is no clear winner.But…
What if you could get the benefits of both fish oil and krill oil in one high
quality pill?
