Forms & Label
Softgels containing krill oil with different EPA/DHA concentrations.

What do we know from the available evidence?
The amount of krill oil alone is not enough; we need to look at the actual milligrams of EPA + DHA.
The evidence is not the same for every goal, and we should not confuse a theoretical mechanism with a proven practical benefit.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic conditions or medication use are reasons to seek individualized professional advice.
