Where to Find It

Krill is not edible seafood; therefore, only dietary supplements are sources for krill oil.

Possible Deficiencies

There is no human requirement for krill oil. However, some researchers and doctors believe that most people who eat a typical western diet are likely to be consuming less-than-optimal amounts of EPA and DHA, which are supplied by krill oil.
