Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for your question.

Always check with your physician before starting an herbal supplement. Individuals with hypothyroidism are advised to consult their physicians first.

Krill contains an oil that is similar to the oils found in fish oils, the omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are recommended for use in lowering triglyceride levels. Krill Oil use as a supplement to lower blood lipids is increasing in popularity.

Regards,
Maryann
