One-a-Day Krill Oil
If you’re looking for Krill Oil then look no further than Antarctic Krill Oil from SportsResearch.
What makes Antarctic Krill Oil from SportsResearch better? Bang for your hard-earned bucks. If you’re doing comparative shopping and thinking Brand X has more EPA, DHA, or astaxanthin, remember that those numbers on the competitor’s bottles usually require you to take multiple softgels per dosage. Antarctic Krill’s numbers are for 1 Liquid Softgel daily!
Let me put one criticism to rest right now. There are two ways of measuring astaxanthin – either as estrified or in diol. Diol is a much better and more accurate method of measuring astaxanthin because it’s pure. However, most Krill Oil cites their astaxanthin in the estrified form which contains a lot of fatty acid esters which bulks up the amount. Companies are counting on your ignorance! And if they don’t write anything, it’s safe to assume it’s the estrified variety.
Since this is a one-a-day Krill Oil, the liquid softgels are a bit larger. One other note, and I guess this is the price you pay for your health, if you leave them at room temperature, they do produce a smell. I recommend keeping them in your fridge and taking them as needed.
Overall, a great product at a great price. The quantity of Krill Oil, EPA, DHA, Phospholipids, and astaxanthin contained in just one liquid softgel, makes these things a real bargain.
