What’s the research?
A 2004 study looking at high cholesterol concluded that krill oil was "significantly more effective than fish oil for the reduction of glucose, triglycerides, and LDL levels." A 2003 study found krill oil effective for treating symptoms of PMS – again, more so than fish oil. Other research has focused on krill oil’s anti-inflammatory potential.
