    Antarctic krill isn’t just important for marine life—it’s becoming a key ingredient in human supplements, animal feed, and even skincare products. Rich in Omega-3s, protein, and antioxidants, krill is being used to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellness. In fact, studies show krill oil is easier for the body to absorb than other fish oils, making it a preferred choice for many.

      Like, sure, there’s lots of things you could use them for, and that might be huge applications in the future, but for now IIRC it’s mostly used as fish food.
