Krill Oil

[Rodja]

Now that the RPN supply is really drying up, what brand(s) would others recommend? I've looked at the labels and the NOW is about as close as it gets as far as the amounts go.

[Royd The Noyd]

Never tried anything but the rpn brand...but im curious if other brands smell as bad.

I think jarrow makes a reasonably priced krill.

From what I've read, all Krill smells really bad.

Good to know. Thats probably why we dont see any liquid krill products....would be hard to get down.

i just get my omegas from walmart. i think its by Nature-made? but it contains Omega 3,6,9 fish, flaxseed, and borage oils.

krill is the same as fish but you dont need as much of it.

Krill is a different beast from plain fish oil. It's like saying whey and whole milk proteins are the same. Yes, milk contains whey, but it is not the same amino acid profile.

Low on the astaxanthin. Is that the Swanson's label?

I have used krill but heard that harvesting it was very damaging to the ecosystem. Worth a thought for the environmentally conscious.

Please elaborate a bit for us

That was literally all I heard. It was a snippet from somebody who owns a supplement line who wouldn't produce a krill product.

After doing a quick Google search for you here is a paragraph from omega-research.com.

"Sustainability
The increased fishing of krill has lead to grassroots protests and a call to action by The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Scientists, fishery groups, and federal environmental organizations like the NOAA have all voiced concerns about the potential impact of increased krill fishing. Due to these concerns, the fishing of krill has been banned on the West Coast of the US, and has been strictly limited in places like Norway and Antarctica1. In contrast, fish oil supplements are predominantly produced from sardines and anchovies, species that are currently in abundant supply, fished well below mandated limits, and are considered ideal species for sustainability, given their short reproductive cycles. A study published in the journal, Science, by marine conservation biologists also suggested that fishing should concentrate more on these pelagic species, in order to reduce the dependence on fish species currently threatened by overfishing2."

I hope that helps.

I saw that today, but I'd need to do some more research on Omega-7.

Swanson sells Krill Oil capsules that are very reasonably priced. That capsules do smell fishy thou- but I haven't had any fish burps issues with them.

The Jarrow formula looks to be the best one out there right now.

and the milk sugar (lactose) no good

I vote swanson. Swanson uses superba which is sustainably harvested. Good stuff and cheap with coupons....

It's the low astaxanthin that keeps me from getting the Swanson's version.
