Quick Answer: Virgin Krill Oil 600 mg
Krill oil is an omega-3 source delivering EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids plus natural astaxanthin antioxidant. Take 1 softgel (600 mg) daily with a fat-containing meal for 3-4x better absorption than standard fish oil. Supports heart, joint, and brain health at 300-600 mg combined EPA+DHA daily. Avoid with blood thinners without provider guidance.
What Is Krill Oil?
Krill oil is an omega-3 fatty acid supplement extracted from Antarctic krill — small shrimp-like crustaceans at the base of the Antarctic food chain. Unlike fish oil (where omega-3s are in triglyceride or ethyl ester form), krill oil delivers EPA and DHA primarily bound to phospholipids, which absorb more efficiently across cell membranes. It also naturally contains astaxanthin, a red carotenoid antioxidant that prevents the oil from oxidizing (going rancid) and provides additional antioxidant support.
Remedy's Nutrition Virgin Krill Oil 600 mg delivers cold-extracted Antarctic krill oil in a smaller, easier-to-swallow softgel compared to standard fish oil capsules — with no fishy aftertaste or reflux.
Key Benefits
- Heart and cardiovascular support. EPA and DHA reduce triglycerides and support healthy blood pressure at 300-600 mg combined daily.
- Superior absorption vs fish oil. Phospholipid-bound omega-3s absorb 2-3x more efficiently than triglyceride forms.
- Joint comfort. Omega-3 anti-inflammatory pathway supports joint mobility in adults with mild discomfort.
- Brain and cognitive support. DHA is a structural component of brain cell membranes.
- Women's cycle support. Research suggests krill oil may reduce PMS discomfort at 2000 mg daily over 3 cycles.
- No fishy aftertaste. Phospholipid form avoids the "fish burps" common with triglyceride fish oil.
Krill Oil vs Fish Oil
Both deliver omega-3s, but they behave differently in the body. This comparison helps you choose:
| Feature | Krill Oil | Standard Fish Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Omega-3 form | Phospholipid-bound | Triglyceride or ethyl ester |
| Absorption efficiency | 2-3x higher | Reference baseline |
| Natural antioxidant | Astaxanthin included | Typically none |
| Fishy aftertaste / reflux | Minimal to none | Common issue |
| Dose per softgel | Lower (300-600 mg oil) | Higher (1000-1200 mg) |
| Sustainability | Antarctic krill (MSC-certified fisheries) | Variable by source |
| Cost per EPA+DHA mg | Higher | Lower |
How to Use Krill Oil
Take 1 softgel (600 mg) daily with a fat-containing meal — breakfast or lunch works best. Omega-3s are fat-soluble, and absorption is maximized with dietary fat. The phospholipid form tolerates being taken alone better than fish oil, but food still improves uptake and reduces any mild GI effect.
- General wellness: 1 softgel daily with breakfast
- Heart and triglyceride support: 1-2 softgels daily, split AM/PM with meals
- Joint discomfort protocol: 2 softgels daily for 8-12 weeks minimum
- PMS cycle support: 2-3 softgels daily, start 1 week before menses
Key Ingredients
- Virgin Antarctic Krill Oil 600 mg — cold-extracted, phospholipid-bound EPA and DHA
- Naturally occurring astaxanthin — antioxidant that prevents oxidation
- Phosphatidylcholine — brain and liver membrane support, from krill phospholipids
- Softgel shell — bovine gelatin and glycerin (not vegan — see algae omega-3 alternative)
Safety & Cautions
Krill oil is well tolerated with minimal side effects. Mild GI upset or soft stools may occur at higher doses. Shellfish allergy warning: krill is a crustacean — people with shrimp, lobster, or crab allergies should avoid. Important interactions: krill oil has mild blood-thinning effect at high doses and may interact with warfarin, aspirin, or other anticoagulants — consult a provider before combining. Stop supplementation 2 weeks before planned surgery. Consult a provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is krill oil good for? +
Krill oil delivers omega-3 EPA and DHA for heart, brain, joint, and women's cycle support. Clinical evidence is strongest for triglyceride reduction (300-600 mg EPA+DHA daily) and mild joint discomfort. It also naturally contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant. Phospholipid-bound omega-3s absorb 2-3x more efficiently than standard fish oil, so smaller doses deliver comparable benefit.
Krill oil vs fish oil — which is better? +
Krill oil absorbs 2-3x better per mg, includes natural astaxanthin antioxidant, and avoids fishy aftertaste. Fish oil costs less per mg of EPA+DHA but uses triglyceride form requiring higher doses. For most people, krill oil's higher absorption means smaller, more comfortable softgels deliver the same clinical benefit. Fish oil is better if cost per dose is the deciding factor.
How much krill oil should I take per day? +
1 softgel (600 mg oil) daily covers general omega-3 maintenance. Heart and triglyceride support protocols use 1-2 softgels daily. Joint discomfort and PMS support research used 2-3 softgels (1200-1800 mg oil) daily for 8-12 weeks. Always take with a fat-containing meal for best absorption. Do not exceed 3000 mg daily without provider guidance.
Are there side effects of krill oil? +
Krill oil is generally well tolerated. The most common effects are mild stomach upset, soft stools, and very rarely fishy reflux (less than fish oil). High doses can have a mild blood-thinning effect. A shellfish allergy warning is critical — krill is a crustacean, so anyone allergic to shrimp, crab, or lobster should avoid it and choose algae-based omega-3 instead.
Can I take krill oil with blood thinners? +
Only with provider supervision. Krill oil has a mild anticoagulant effect that can stack with warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or other blood thinners — increasing bleeding risk. People on these medications should discuss supplementation with their provider before starting. Stop krill oil 2 weeks before any planned surgery regardless of prescription status.
Is krill oil safe if I have a shellfish allergy? +
No. Krill is a crustacean (related to shrimp, lobster, crab). People with confirmed shellfish allergies should avoid krill oil and choose algae-based omega-3 DHA/EPA supplements instead — algae oils are plant-derived and allergen-free. If you have never tested for shellfish allergy but are uncertain, start with a very small partial dose and watch for reactions before full daily use.
When should I take krill oil? +
Take with a fat-containing meal — breakfast or lunch works best. Omega-3s are fat-soluble, and absorption is highest when consumed with dietary fat (eggs, avocado, olive oil, nut butter, cheese). Morning timing is preferred because krill oil may support mental clarity. Avoid bedtime dosing. Consistency matters more than exact time, so pick a meal you eat reliably.
How long until krill oil works? +
4-12 weeks for most endpoints. Triglyceride and omega-3 index changes appear on lab tests at 8-12 weeks. Joint comfort improvements typically emerge at 6-12 weeks. PMS support is measured across 3 cycles (about 3 months). Cognitive and energy benefits are less measurable but cumulative. Consistent daily use at 1-2 softgels with food is the key driver, not higher short-term doses.
