Analysis

The serving supplies 174 mg EPA, 120 mg DHA, 550 mg phospholipids, and 2 mg astaxanthin. Krill phospholipids provide an integrated lipid carrier that may aid absorption.

EPA, DHA, and astaxanthin remain modest for focused supplementation. The supplied data does not describe oxidation control, contaminant testing, or a separate astaxanthin source.

Adults who prefer krill oil and accept lower fatty-acid amounts may value the compact formula. Value seekers or people needing larger EPA and DHA doses should choose a transparent fish or algae oil.

Who is it for
  • Adults who prefer krill oil
  • People seeking phospholipid-bound marine omega-3
  • Users without shellfish allergy
Best for
  • Krill-oil supplementation
  • Moderate EPA and DHA intake
  • Combined phospholipid and astaxanthin use

Pros

  • Separately states EPA and DHA
  • Provides 550 mg of phospholipids
  • Includes a defined astaxanthin amount

Cons

  • EPA and DHA are modest
  • Astaxanthin amount is low for targeted use
  • Testing and oxidation details are missing

Warnings

  • Krill comes from shellfish and may cause an allergic reaction in people with shellfish allergy.
  • Marine omega-3s may increase bruising tendency when combined with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines.
  • Astaxanthin may add to blood-pressure lowering in users taking several antihypertensive medicines.

Nutrient quality

87 Highest impact

Krill phospholipids provide an integrated lipid form alongside EPA, DHA, and astaxanthin. The main ingredients are supplied at useful amounts, though one component may be modest.

Ingredient transparency

76 High impact

Krill oil, total omega fatty acids, EPA, DHA, phospholipids, and astaxanthin all have amounts. No proprietary blend hides an active quantity.

Customer satisfaction

64 Moderate impact

The supplied aggregate rating metric is exceptionally favorable, though it gives no specific experience details. The response count is adequate but leaves meaningful uncertainty.

Value for money

61 Moderate impact

Formula quality is reasonable for the cost, with some limitations. The serving cost is high relative to the disclosed formula.

Report overview
Astaxanthin · 2 mg OverallScore52
D+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The krill-oil softgel provides a strong lipid carrier, but the astaxanthin source and manufacturing standard are not identified. The active amount is clear yet sits below the main clinical range, and no oxidation-protection details are disclosed. Cost per active amount is poor, while people with shellfish allergy should avoid the krill oil because it may trigger a reaction.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) · 174 mg OverallScore48
B Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The phospholipid form and concentrated EPA profile support absorption and ingredient quality. Astaxanthin adds oxidation protection, although only one antioxidant is listed. The EPA dose is low and expensive for the amount delivered, while contaminant-testing information is absent.

View ingredientView products
DHA · 120 mg OverallScore43
C+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Krill oil supplies DHA in a phospholipid-rich form and includes astaxanthin for oxidation protection. The DHA dose and omega-fatty-acid concentration are low, and no named purity certification is provided. Its cost per DHA amount is very high.

87 Performance

Omega-3

Solgar
<p>It provides substantially deeper omega-3 coverage through 1,008 mg of EPA and 756 mg of DHA, with mixed tocopherols helping protect the oil. Astaxanthin and krill phospholipids are absent, while molecular form, fish source, purification, and independent testing remain unclear.</p>
81 Performance

Omega JYM

JYM Supplement Science
<p>It offers a more balanced and much larger marine-fatty-acid profile with 750 mg each of EPA and DHA plus 150 mg of DPA. The formula lacks the original’s astaxanthin and phospholipid delivery, and source, molecular form, oxidation protection, and testing are not disclosed.</p>
77 Performance

Omega Superb Lemon Berry Flavored

Thorne
<p>It increases the main omega-3 amounts to 700 mg of EPA and 440 mg of DHA, providing more active depth than the original’s modest fatty-acid serving. Astaxanthin and krill phospholipids are omitted, and the supplied product text does not establish the oil form, antioxidant protection, or testing.</p>
80 Budget

Super Omega-3

Country Life
<p>It sharply lowers recurring cost while providing 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA, both higher than the original amounts. Fish oil does not provide the original’s phospholipids or astaxanthin, and the supplied data omit molecular form, oxidation protection, and testing details.</p>
84 Budget

Mega EPA/DHA

Life Extension
<p>It lowers recurring cost while raising EPA to 720 mg and DHA to 480 mg, with natural vitamin E adding oxidation support. The formula gives up the original’s krill phospholipids and 2 mg of astaxanthin, while oil form, source, purification, and testing remain undisclosed.</p>
70 Budget

K Bio Krill 500 mg

Bio Nutrition
<p>It offers a much less costly like-for-like krill option with phospholipids, EPA, DHA, and astaxanthin all individually stated. The amounts are lower than the original, including 81 mg of EPA, 52 mg of DHA, and 0.5 mg of astaxanthin, and purity testing is not supplied.</p>
84 Value

Alaska Wild Fish Oil Mega Omega-3

21st Century
<p>It combines low recurring cost with 965 mg of EPA and 385 mg of DHA, materially increasing both named omega-3 amounts. The fish-oil formula omits astaxanthin and krill phospholipids, while molecular form, antioxidant protection, fish species, and testing are not disclosed.</p>
83 Value

Super Omega-3

Life Extension
<p>It offers a favorable quality-to-cost balance through 700 mg of EPA, 500 mg of DHA, and quantified olive and sesame antioxidant compounds. The four-softgel serving is less convenient, and the formula lacks astaxanthin and phospholipids while oil-quality documentation remains incomplete.</p>
77 Value

Krill Oil 1000 mg

OL Olympian Labs
<p>It preserves the krill-centered design at lower recurring cost with 420 mg of phospholipids, 150 mg of EPA, 90 mg of DHA, and 1.5 mg of astaxanthin. Those active amounts are somewhat below the original, but the close ingredient match makes the cost trade-off easy to assess.</p>
