The evidence in words
How much to take
Dose to total EPA+DHA, not capsule count — often 2–4 krill capsules to reach a meaningful omega-3 amount.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Krill Oil; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Phospholipid-bound omega-3s appear to absorb somewhat more efficiently, but each krill capsule carries much less total EPA/DHA than a fish-oil capsule.
Bottom line
Absorbs well per gram but delivers little omega-3 per pill at a high price. Fish oil (or algae) is usually the better value; choose krill mainly for tolerance.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
