Key to the enhanced absorption is the unique structure of the omega-3s. Fish oil omega-3s are found in a triglyceride form, which repel water impairing absorption in the digestive tract. Krill oil is found in a phospholipid form which attracts water promoting fast and efficient absorption. This helps deliver the essential omega-3s to the places you need it most.
