Study Suggests This Popular Supplement Rivals Fish Oil for Omega-3s

Summary: Fish oil is famous for helping your heart and brain because it is full of omega-3s. But a new study shows that krill oil might be even better at getting those omega-3s into your body. In fact, it raised omega-3 levels 50% more than fish oil! Krill oil might be easier to digest, which is great as we get older. However, fish oil is cheaper and still works perfectly fine. Plus, if you are allergic to shellfish, you should definitely stick to fish oil. Always check with your doctor before starting any new supplement.
