I will now explain the difference between fish oil or krill oil because many people are confused between the two kinds of oils as they are both wonderful sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.

But, as with other things, they’ve various qualities on which I will explain.

With regards to price, fish oil is less costly of these two. However, krill is more powerful, gram for gram, in order that should even out the price a little.

But when money is limited, fish oil or just quality foods with natural levels of Omega 3 (fish, pastured eggs, and so forth.) are the best option.

The main microscopic difference is how the Omega-3 fatty acids bind to the rest of the molecule. In fish oil, it is on the form of triglycerides or fat, while in krill oil, it is in the form of phospholipids, mostly phosphatidylcholine.

Phospholipids are what forms the double layer, which actually makes up the cell membranes of our body. If you don’t understand how that works, then you should check out this cool video illustration showing something that is fundamental to life as we know it.

This might be the reason the Omega-3s in Krill oil are much better absorbed/more potent than those in fish oil.

Currently, there’re just a few tests relating to the comparison of krill oil against fish oil, but here are some tests that I found.

In one of these, krill oil provided far more benefits for women with premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea.

In another, krill oil had a lot bigger effect on hyperlipidemia than fish oil, that’s reduced total and Cholesterol levels, triglycerides and increased HDL far more.

It does seem that krill oil is a much more beneficial source of Omega 3s, and you must have a look at my article on the great things about krill oil to learn more.

Krill oil has an antioxidant called Astaxanthin, which is a fantastic source of health nutrients. This Astaxanthin antioxidant will be discussed on a different post later.

Numerous kinds of fish oil do contain helpful amounts of Vitamin D and A. This might be important for people who get little of these natural vitamins from food (or very little D from the sun).

A lot of people complain about the unpleasant after taste and “fishy burps” they feel after they take fish oil. This is less commonly observed with krill oil.

I often swallow a tablespoon of cod liver fish oil every morning (caps are for wussies, I said) but now that I moved to krill oil capsules I don’t think I’ll be going back to that. Yuck.

Krill oil is less likely to go rancid because of the high anti-oxidant content. When compared with fish oil, it has forty-eight times the number of antioxidants, as calculated by the ORAC value.

However, if you wish to ensure that if your krill / fish oil has become rancid, you can take a bite at among the gel caps. If they taste slightly unpleasant, that is normal (what did you expect? - it is fish oil FFS). If they taste all unpleasant and rotten, throw them away.

Sadly, the ocean is polluted in a lot of areas, and of course the contamination may make its way into the creatures of the ocean, like the fish.

The animals which are high in the food chain eat the animals which are below them in the food chain, and this way the toxins build up in the bigger fish.

Krill is a lot below on the sea’s food chain, even lower than fish; this means that it has less contaminants in comparison to fish.

Various brands of fish oil will have various amounts of toxins, but this shouldn’t freak you out. Even if they contain an extremely little amount of pollution, the health benefits will still far outweigh the negative effects.

Krill oil is certainly a superior form of Omega 3 when compared with fish oil (which is something I’ve been taking consistently for many years).

Now, I’m switching my fish oil for krill oil. Certainly, it is a little expensive, but it’s well worth it.
