Because krill oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, it provides many of the health benefits that come along with it.
Krill Oil May Help Your Heart
There’s a lot to love about krill oil — for your heart’s sake. “Krill oil may be beneficial in lowering our total cholesterol and also triglycerides. Additionally, it may help to increase HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol levels, too,” says Kimberlain. Past research backs this up. In a randomized control study, 1 to 3 grams of krill oil per day helped reduce the study participants’ LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood glucose, while increasing their HDL cholesterol, more so than even fish oil (or, of course, the placebo).
Another study, published in January 2022 in JAMA Network Open found that krill oil helped lower triglyceride levels by 26 percent in people with hypertriglyceridemia, or elevated triglyceride levels, after 12 weeks of supplementation.
Other research, published in 2021 in Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that omega-3 supplements with DHA and EPA can help prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). “Supplementation with EPA and DHA is an effective lifestyle strategy for CVD prevention, and the protective effect probably increases with dosage,” the researchers note.
Krill Oil Might Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation is not necessarily a bad thing — when you’re ill or hurt, your body starts an immune response, according to the Cleveland Clinic, which helps fight the illness or kick off the wound-healing process. If, however, your body is triggering inflammation and you’re not sick or injured, then you may have chronic inflammation. In that case, krill oil may help lower inflammation levels. A study published in 2016 in Digestive and Liver Disease found that krill oil reduced intestinal inflammation — however, the study was done in a laboratory setting (thus, more research needs to be done).
Krill Oil May Help With Arthritis and Joint Pain
“Along the lines of helping to reduce inflammation, krill oil has been shown to help reduce arthritis pain,” says Kimberlain. Past research, for example, shows that people with arthritis pains who took 300 milligrams of krill oil for 30 days experienced an improvement in pain and stiffness, and some even felt relief after day seven.
A study published in July 2022 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also shows that krill oil improved osteoarthritic knee pain, stiffness, and physical function in adults with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Participants either consumed 4 grams of krill oil a day for six months or a placebo.
A study published in 2016 in PLoS One found that taking 2 grams of krill oil per day helped relieve knee joint pain (in people with mild knee pain), compared with the study participants with mild knee pain who were taking a placebo.
Krill Oil May Help Battle Harmful Free Radicals
Most of us think of fruits and vegetables as antioxidant-containing foods, but seafood, like krill, can have antioxidants, too. Krill oil actually has a pigment called astaxanthin, which is found in a group of antioxidants known as carotenoids. It’s the same antioxidant that gives salmon its pink color, according to the Cleveland Clinic. “This carotenoid has been shown to help fight off the negative effects of free radicals on both our brain and nervous system,” says Kimberlain.
Free radicals are molecules that your body creates when you eat certain foods, or when you’re exposed to harmful substances like cigarette smoke, according to the Mayo Clinic. And these free radicals, they also note, may play a role in cancer and heart disease.
