Although I still recommend both fish oil and cod liver oil in some cases, I believe
krill oil is an EVEN BETTER option for most people, for several reasons. Personally, I take krill oil every day. I particularly appreciate the fact that the omega-3 is attached to phospholipids that dramatically increase its absorption, especially into brain tissue.

Antioxidants are your body's primary way to neutralize free radicals -- those harmful metabolic byproducts that damage cells and tissues throughout your body.
Scientific evidence has repeatedly demonstrated that antioxidants are a cornerstone in the promotion of heart health, boosting your immune system, and memory support. They also appear to play a role in helping to slow your signs of aging.
Although many foods contain antioxidants, today's poor-quality diets are nearly always insufficient in the full range of these beneficial free radical scavengers.
So when you consider that the antioxidant potency of krill oil is 48 times more potent than fish oil, well… choosing between the two is easy.
If you're still not convinced of the antioxidant powers to krill oil, independent ORAC evaluations have also established that
genuine krill oil contains:
- Over 300 times the antioxidant power of vitamin A and vitamin E
- Over 47 times the antioxidant power of lutein
- Over 34 times the antioxidant power of coenzyme Q-10
Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say?
To top it all off, krill oil also contains astaxanthin – a unique marine-source flavonoid – that creates a special bond with the EPA and DHA, which allows direct metabolism of the antioxidants, making them
more bioavailable.
