100% Pure Krill Oil
Swanson
Overview
This krill oil supplement provides a source of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, and the antioxidant astaxanthin. While krill oil may have some benefits due to its phospholipid-bound omega-3s, the overall effectiveness may be limited by the relatively low doses of EPA and DHA per serving compared to fish oil alternatives. Claims of enhanced absorption have not been definitively proven. The astaxanthin dose is also likely too low to have any significant effects.
