- Krill oil improved knee pain, stiffness, and physical function in people with osteoarthritis, helping participants move more comfortably during daily activities like walking and climbing stairs
- Older adults taking krill oil for six months improved grip strength, knee strength, and muscle thickness, which helps protect against falls, weakness, and loss of independence with age
- Krill oil delivers omega-3 fats in a phospholipid form that blends efficiently into your cell membranes, while its natural astaxanthin content helps protect the oil from oxidation and inflammatory damage
- Cheap, oxidized fish oils and diets high in seed oils worsen inflammation and interfere with healthy cellular energy production, making it harder for your joints and muscles to recover
- Pairing krill oil or omega-3-rich seafood with regular movement, stable dietary fats, and enough protein creates a stronger foundation for preserving cartilage, muscle function, and long-term mobility
