MegaRed Superior Omega-3 Krill Oil

Krill oil absorbs better than fish oil, but 74mg total EPA+DHA per softgel is basically nothing. You'd need 15 capsules to match one serving of decent fish oil. Great marketing, terrible math.

4.5/10
POOR

Identical formula to the regular MegaRed: 350mg krill oil with only 74mg combined EPA+DHA. Even with phospholipid bioavailability advantage, this falls well short of clinical omega-3 doses. The 'Superior' branding is pure marketing with no meaningful formula difference. Astaxanthin at 100mcg is decorative (needs 4mg minimum).

What We Like

  • Phospholipid-bound omega-3s have better bioavailability.
  • Small softgel is easy to swallow.
  • Astaxanthin adds antioxidant protection.
  • No fish burps.

Watch Out For

  • Only 74mg total EPA+DHA per softgel. Studies use 1,000-2,000mg.
  • You'd need 15-20 capsules to reach therapeutic dose.
  • Extremely expensive per mg of omega-3.
  • Marketing relies on 'no fish burps' instead of actual dose.
