A bright, minimalist editorial still life on a soft warm-white linen surface, shot from a slightly elevated angle in natural morning window light. In the center, a small shallow ceramic bowl in matte oatmeal tones holds several glossy, translucent coral-red softgel capsules, with a few spilled onto the surface in a gentle arc. Beside the bowl, a single ripe peach-pink shrimp-like krill shape is absent; instead a delicate scatter of tiny coral-orange dried krill-pink petals and a sprig of pale green seaweed hint at the marine origin. To the left, an empty clear glass of water and a folded cream napkin suggest fasting. To the right, a simple matte white plate sits bare with a silver fork resting across it. In the soft-focus background, a pair of sage green hand weights and a neatly rolled yoga mat in dusty blue add a quiet nod to muscle and strength. Soft shadows fall diagonally across the scene, giving gentle depth. The palette is calm and modern: warm ivory, coral red, sage green, dusty blue, and soft beige. Shallow depth of field with crisp focus on the capsules, which catch small bright highlights. Clean negative space on the left third of the frame for headline text. The overall feel is a contemporary wellness magazine or health journal cover, airy, refined, and editorial, with subtle film-like grain and natural color grading. Landscape 16:9 composition.

Krill Oil Cut Muscle Loss on a Fasting Diet by Up to 6x in a Trial

BY DR. GYMBRO · Oct 24, 2026

Dieting hard often means losing muscle along with fat, but a new randomized trial suggests one supplement may change that. In 41 adults doing 8 weeks of alternate-day fasting, krill oil and placebo groups lost the same body weight (about 4.6 vs 4.5 kg). Yet the krill group lost just 0.2 kg of fat-free mass versus 1.2 kg for placebo, and held onto handgrip strength too. Before you stock up, there are catches: the sample was small and the capsule also contained astaxanthin and choline. Here are the numbers, the dose and who should skip it.
