MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil 350mg

Krill oil absorbs better than cheap fish oil. True. But 74mg EPA+DHA per softgel means you need 14 to reach studied doses. At $30 for 60 softgels, you'd spend $7/day. A $15 fish oil concentrate gives you 1000mg per serving. Better absorption can't overcome 14x less omega-3.

4.5/10
POOR

Only 74mg combined EPA+DHA per softgel is far below the 250mg minimum for cardiovascular benefit. Even accounting for krill oil's phospholipid-bound bioavailability advantage (estimated 1.5-2x), effective delivery is roughly 110-150mg combined omega-3. Krill oil total at 350mg is below its own 500mg minimum effective dose. Astaxanthin at 100mcg is a rounding error (min effective is 4mg). Marketing oversells what the doses can deliver.

What We Like

  • Phospholipid-bound omega-3 (enhanced absorption).
  • Astaxanthin antioxidant (natural from krill).
  • Small softgel, no fish burps.
  • Sustainable Antarctic sourcing.

Watch Out For

  • Only 74mg combined EPA+DHA per softgel.
  • Need 14+ softgels to reach 1000mg EPA+DHA.
  • $30+ for 60 softgels of inadequate omega-3.
  • Marketing vastly overstates the phospholipid absorption advantage.
