According to the company website, this supplement is comprised of 100% Pure Krill Oil. The manufacturer notes that this oil is a rich source of Omega-3s, antioxidants, EPA, DHA, Vitamin A and Astaxanthin.

There are many different sources in nature for Omega-3 Fatty Acids. We are fans of seafood sources because they are the only ones that contain the EPA and DHA Omega-3s. However, most of the seafood sources to be found on the market are from Fish Oil because there are several major concerns when it comes to Krill Oil. First of all, Fish Oil is a much more abundant source of EPA and DHA, which are the two most powerful Omega-3s. These two Omega-3s have been shown to provide a multitude of health improving benefits. This formula only contains 150 mg of EPA and 90 mg of DHA. This is, however, a very small concentration, and we feel that the most effective products are ones that contain at least 700 mg of each of these fatty acids.

Furthermore, Krill Oil is derived from the shrimp-like crustaceans that are eaten by blue whales, which raises a very big environmental concern. This species is declining, and in the past 30 years alone, the population has dropped by 80%. There are many places in the world where harvesting Krill is no longer allowed in an attempt to not deprive whales of food. For this reason, environmentalists may find it hard to use a product that uses Krill Oil.

Finally, it is not yet certain if people who have a shellfish allergy will have an allergic reaction to Krill Oil. In order to avoid a potential allergic reaction, people with a shellfish allergy may prefer to supplement their Omega-3 intake with a Fish Oil product.

The manufacturer of this supplement notes that one of the benefits of Krill Oil is that Krill provide higher concentrations of antioxidants and vitamins. The company also claims that Krill do not contain as many environmental toxins as fish. We do agree that fish are high in mercury content and other toxins, and consumers must find a high-quality product in order to avoid these toxins. But fortunately, there are manufacturers on the market that not only use a 40-step distillation process to purify the fish oil, but also only use fish that are caught at least 3,000 feet below sea level to guarantee safety and purity.

Ultimately, Omega-3-based dietary supplements are now quite popular due the many health benefits that are associated with these essential fatty acids. It’s likely that many people will be attracted to this supplement due to the enticing promises, but we want to point out that there are many other fish oil and Omega-3 supplements on the market. Those consumers who are concerned about the environment, shellfish allergies or who would simply prefer a product that contains higher concentrations of the DHA and EPA Omega-3s may want to continue their product search. However, those consumers who are interested in this supplement can find it for sale on the company website. Currently, this product is offered at a reduced price.
