Why?
because krill oil is a fad, in my opinion. you don't get as much epa or dha in krill oil as you do in fish oil, but you have comparable amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. omega-3s are great and all, but for overall health benefits, it's all about the dha and epa. yes, they all have sufficient amounts for people to be healthy, but the more you get the better and it's hard to find krill oil with as much epa and dha as fish oil offers.
also, you don't really get the fishy burp after taking krill oil supplements, but that's whatever... it isn't worth the extra pricetag, in my opinion. i always tell my patients to freeze their capsules and take their fish oil before bed, that way if they do burp, they'll be asleep.
krill oil, on average, is about 10x more expensive than fish oil, yet it doesn't have nearly the concentration of epa or dha AND it doesn't absorb the omega 3 THAT much better. does it absorb it better? yeah, but not 10x the price better.
