Product Reviews of the Schiff MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil 300 mg - 90 Softgels
Product Review: krill vs. fish oil
Summary: 5 Stars
My whole family have been taking MegaRed Krill Oil everyday for more than a year. I don't want to cite specific numbers as this is not a scientific study, but both my cholesteral and my wife's triglyceride levels have been improved to acceptable levels during this time.
However, the main reason for this review is to share some information about why this 300mg krill oil capsule is enough for a day when it takes 1000mg or more with fish oil. I had been wondering about this for some time and finally I googled it and found the following answer. You can find more details on "why fish oil is not the best omega-3 source" on healthiertalk but the following are some excerpts from the article:
"...fish oil is highly perishable. You have to have sufficient antioxidants to ensure that the fish oil doesn't oxidize and become rancid inside your body...(Krill oil) is superior to fish oil because it contains phospholipids, antioxidants (more than 47 times the levels found in fish oil!), and omega-3's bonded together in a way that keeps them safe from oxidation, and makes them easily absorbed in your body. So with krill oil, you can ensure that you're getting these incredibly healthy fats (EPA and DHA)"
The article also mentioned common contaminants found in fish and some interesting differences in farm raised salmon, corn fed cattles and plant based Omega-3s.
Note: I want to mention that I do not know the author of the article, nor do I know for sure the credibility of the content. I simply googled the information and found it makes sense to me.
