The product that patients buy from my office more than any other product is krill oil.  Krill oil can make a huge impact on your health.  It contains essential omega 3 fatty acids, which means we can’t make them in our own body, yet they are necessary for proper body functioning.  Fish oil is another way to take omega 3 fatty acids into your body.  Here’s a little infographic that shows the difference between these two sources:

Krill oil is really the better choice.  Some of the benefits it provides to your health include decreased inflammation, healthier cholesterol levels, decrease in premenstrual syndrome, more radient skin, and lower chances of blood clots.  My favorite use for krill oil is for joint health.  It can reduce pain and joint stiffness as well as increasing mobility.  Omega 3 fatty acids are also really important for brain function.  Krill oil can improve your memory, concentration and learning.

I take krill oil every night before bed.  I recommend it to many of my patients for their joint pain alone, but there are so many more benefits to supplementing your diet with it regularly.
