Real Krill
Doctor's Best
Overview
Real Krill provides a source of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, along with phospholipids and astaxanthin. While krill oil may offer improved bioavailability of omega-3s compared to fish oil, the doses of EPA and DHA are modest and may not provide optimal cardiovascular benefits. Though the product claims to support a variety of health functions like brain health, circulation and joint health, more specific research is needed to validate these. The astaxanthin content is also low, and its effects are not well-established at this dosage. Overall, the product may provide general omega-3 benefits, but its effectiveness for therapeutic purposes is uncertain.
The Good

Not suitable for individuals with seafood allergies.
Is it for you?
