But there are many different types of fish which can end up in the production of fish oil & we're coming to discover out as time goes on that there may be certain kinds of fish oils which are better for the body than others.

Krill oil on the other hand, has not only both DHA and EPA but also strong antioxidants property. Therefore you do not need to be anxious regarding increasing your intake of antioxidants!
