What it does
Krill oil delivers EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids, plus astaxanthin. It is pricier than fish oil with no proven superiority for outcomes.
What the research says
Raises omega-3 index
Evidence: moderate. Borrows from the fish-oil literature; head-to-head outcome data vs fish oil is thin.
DRAFT: as an omega-3 delivery vehicle it works; the premium over fish oil is unproven.
Is it worth it?
DRAFT: works, but fish oil does the same job cheaper.
Typical cost
$15-25/month
Common form, not a brand recommendation
