7 Why can some cancer treatments trigger autoimmune symptoms?
- Tumors stop the immune system from working
- Healthy tissue becomes invisible to immune cells
- Immune “off switches” are removed during treatment
Some cancer treatments remove immune brakes to fight tumors better, but that can also make immune cells more likely to attack healthy tissue. Learn more.

8 Why is krill oil more bioavailable than fish oil?
- Krill oil does not contain omega-3 fats
- Fish oil doesn’t absorb better because of triglycerides
- Krill oil works only because it has more EPA and DHA
- Its omega-3s are bound to phospholipids
Krill oil binds eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to phospholipids, making them easier for cells to absorb and use. Learn more.
