Krill oil might be a more sustainable option than fish oil, but its harvest can still have major impacts on the health and wellbeing of some other living beings, like penguins. Likewise, knowing where and how the krill were harvested can give us peace of mind for the environment and our health. Safety features, such as whether or not the supplements are third-party tested, are critical to know. When it comes to supplements made directly from animals, there should be complete transparency about their creation. If you opt for the 120-count at $31.95, this will last you for 120 days, as the serving size is one softgel. Our runner-up in this category is Sports Research, which offers its Omega-3 Antarctic Krill Oil in bottles of 60 and 120 softgels. And while each dose is half the size of those competitors at 500mg, you can take two a day and still get more servings per bottle at a much lower price. Its krill oil softgel containers hold 160 servings at a mere $24.99 (about $0.16 per serving), providing more than five months’ worth of krill oil for the same price as one month of competitors’ formulas. Kirkland Signature, Costco’s home brand, continues in the company’s cost-saving footsteps. Likewise, any other savings programs, rewards, subscription services, or deals a company offers factor into our rating. The supplement’s value (how much you pay per serving), the actual nutritional benefit, and the quality of that supplement all play a role in an item’s cost. The sticker price of a supplement is only the first thing we consider while determining which has the best cost. For providing the same number of servings (30) and not having a huge difference in the doses provided, the price gap is a bit difficult to understand. However, KrillMD costs nearly two-and-a-half times more than NatureMyst’s krill oil - $49.99 compared to $19.99. Additionally, NatureMyst’s krill oil is certified sustainable by Friend of the Sea, produced in a GMP-certified ( good manufacturing practice) facility, and third-party tested for “purity, potency, and quality.”Ī close runner-up is 1MD Nutrition’s KrillMD, which offers a bit more phospholipids (550mg) and astaxanthin (2mg), but fewer total omega-3s (320mg) than NatureMyst. This supplement’s 1,000mg of krill oil consists of 340mg of omega-3s (230mg EPA and 110mg DHA), 450mg of phospholipids, and 1.5mg of astaxanthin. NatureMyst, our pick for best overall, offers the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acids out of any other pure krill oil supplement we tried (Purity Products’ krill and fish oil blend has the most omega-3s overall at 620mg).
When we look at the effectiveness of different krill oils, we investigate their ingredients and doses, how they’re made (including GMP and other manufacturing certifications), and the companies’ testing processes. Transparency: Is the supplement safe for you to take? Is it third-party tested? What steps are being taken by the company to minimize its impact on the ocean’s ecosystem?įor a krill oil supplement to be effective, the krill oil should be the main focus, and any added ingredients should work in service to boost your omega-3 levels.Cost: How much is the supplement? Do the doses of ingredients and the cost per serving justify the price of the bottle?.Effectiveness: Does the supplement meet (or safely exceed) the doses of ingredients recommended by researchers, backed up by adequate scientific evidence?.We evaluated krill oil supplements across the market based on how they stacked up in three different categories, considering a collection of key questions:
