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.

5.0/10
DECENT

Krill oil's phospholipid delivery is real, but 74mg total EPA+DHA is a joke. You'd need 15 softgels to match one serving of decent fish oil.

Better absorption with meals.

SafetyAll clear

Shellfish allergy warning (krill is a crustacean).

ResearchLimited evidence

Krill oil bioavailability is studied. But not at 74mg EPA+DHA. No study shows benefits at this dose.

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.
