Krill and the Shellfish Free Diet
Krill are tiny crustaceans that resemble shrimp and are found in ocean waters around the world. They play a crucial role in the marine food chain and are harvested primarily for their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Krill oil, derived from these creatures, is a popular supplement due to its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and support for cardiovascular health. In addition to supplements, krill are sometimes used in fish feeds and pet foods.
