Krill Oil

Also because fish oil -- like flax -- can quickly go rancid, it needs to stay in the refrigerator. But not krill oil, which will last for two years at room temperature. It seems a bit counterintuitive to me that we shouldn't refrigerate this Antarctic krill oil, but that's what I've read.

And this might not be important for you, but it is for calorie-counters like me. Another plus for krill oil over fish oil is that it has fewer calories. Two capsules of Neptune Krill Oil have just 10 calories. But each tablespoonful of fish oil has 160 calories.
