Better Krill Available for Less Money
I'll stick with NOW NKO Krill from now on. The NOW have an enteric coating and krill isn't prone to spoiling like other fish oils tend to due to the high antioxidant levels, based on what I've read. They smell less fishy and have higher levels of omegas and antioxidants.
Mercola used to manufacture high quality krill oil, but they've since changed suppliers and the quality has suffered. They are trying to fool consumers with a "new and improved" label, but the comparison below speaks for itself.
Mercola Krill Oil:
1,000 mg genuine Krill Oil
150 IU vitamin A
400 mg omega-3 rich phospholipids
90 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)
50 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
20 mg omega-6 fatty acids
600 mcg astaxanthin
Now's NKO Krill
