Summary
Story at-a-glance
- Krill oil lowered liver fat, deep belly fat, and triglyceride levels in obese mice, showing it helps reverse the core drivers of fatty liver disease
- Krill oil reduced oxidative stress and activated natural antioxidant enzymes, helping cells protect themselves from damage caused by fat overload
- Krill oil improved insulin sensitivity by lowering insulin levels and boosting adiponectin, a hormone that helps your body burn fat and use sugar properly
- Unlike fish oil, krill oil’s omega-3s are bound to phospholipids, making them easier to absorb and more effective at targeting inflammation and fat buildup
- Krill oil outperformed a prescription cholesterol drug in several key markers and did so without side effects, offering a safer way to restore metabolic health

| 0:24.6 | Hello and welcome to Dr. Mercola's cellular wisdom. I'm Ethan Foster, and alongside me is Alara Sky. |
| 0:28.6 | Today we're examining how krill oil, a unique marine source of omega-3s, |
| 0:33.6 | helps reverse the metabolic spiral that leads to fatty liver disease. Thanks, Ethan. |
| 0:39.5 | Fatty liver often goes unnoticed, yet it's an early warning that your metabolism is under |
| 0:43.8 | heavy stress. When excess fat collects in your liver, you're set up for rising blood sugar, |
| 0:49.8 | stubborn weight gain, and cardiovascular risk. Understanding how to tackle that fat at its root is key. |
| 0:56.9 | Research published in nutrients earlier this year, zeroed in on that root. |
| 1:01.1 | Scientists fed mice a high fat diet to mimic human overeating and inactivity, |
| 1:05.9 | then added krill oil for 60 days at 400 milligrams per kilogram. |
| 1:10.2 | They tracked liver fat, deep belly fat, triglycerides, |
| 1:14.1 | and oxidative stress. The design was rigorous. Those animals accumulated visceral and liver fat, |
| 1:20.4 | just like many people do on calorie-dense processed foods. By introducing krill oil, |
| 1:26.0 | researchers could see whether a single natural intervention could |
| 1:29.3 | shift multiple metabolic markers at once. Results were striking. Liver triglycerides dropped from |
| 1:35.5 | 0.73 to 0.59 milligrams per deciliter, and total liver weight fell. Deep belly fat, the kind that hugs vital organs, also |
| 1:46.8 | shrank. That means krill oil helped the liver move fat out instead of locking it in. |
| 1:51.6 | For you, less stored fat inside the liver translates to better metabolic resilience. When your |
