Manufacturers say the body can absorb the omega-3 fats in krill oil more readily than those in fish oil. That’s because a large portion of the DHA and EPA in krill oil is bound to phospholipids. The physical properties of phospholipids allow them to dissolve in water, allowing them to be easily absorbed.

The omega-3s in fish oil, on the other hand, are attached to triglycerides, which don’t readily dissolve in water. The fact that krill oil contains readily absorbed phospholipids suggests that a smaller dose of omega-3’s from krill oil may be equally as effective as a higher concentration found in fish oil. There’s some evidence to support this notion. A study published in 2011 demonstrated that three grams of krill oil (providing 543 mg EPA + DHA) and 1.8 grams of fish oil (864 mg EPA + DHA) raised blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids to the same degree...
