Krill Oil? What is it?

Krill oil is similar to fish oil in that it contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. These were the kind that counteract high cholesterol levels and are important for the hart and brain functions. Krill oil is derived from small, shrimp-like crustaceans, used for food by whales.

Why is also important to take enough omega-3’s? Because the contemporary diets overload our bodies with omega-6 fatty acids, thus causing misbalance between the omega-3 and omega-6. In most oils the ratio between these two is about 1:20. The ratio that’s considered healthy is 1:4 to 1:2! So, take your omega-3 every day as you are taking enough of the omega-6 already.
