Yes.: Just take the recommended amounts stated in the bottles. If you get upset stomach, flatulence, increased belching or other GI problems you may have to decrease amounts or discontinue one of the supplements.

Is krill the best type of fish oil to take?

No: If omega-3's are the goal - then consider that fish obtain their omega-3's from algae which is stored in their fat cells = fish oil ... But consider all of the potential toxins in fish/krill. Research omega-3's sourced from algae and avoid both toxic fish by products. Why not go to the source? It just makes sense.
