Red Krill Oil 1000 mg
Puritan's Pride
Overview
Puritan's Pride Red Krill Oil 1000 mg delivers effective doses of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), phospholipids, and Astaxanthin. The a 1000 mg serving provides 170 mg of total Omega-3s (80 mg EPA, 50 mg DHA), which while lower than some fish oils per serving, its phospholipid form in krill oil may offer superior bioavailability. The inclusion of 200 mcg of Astaxanthin adds considerable antioxidant benefits. For optimal daily Omega-3 intake for cardiovascular benefits, taking two to three softgels per day as suggested would bring the total EPA+DHA into a more clinically relevant range.
The Good

Comprehensive Cardiac Support: Delivers EPA and DHA for heart health, including triglyceride reduction and improved lipid profiles.
Potent Antioxidant Protection: Includes Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress.
The Bad
Relatively Low EPA/DHA per Softgel: A single softgel provides lower amounts of EPA and DHA compared to many fish oil supplements, necessitating multiple softgels for optimal intake.
Shellfish Allergy Risk: Individuals with shellfish allergies must avoid this product.
Potential for Drug Interactions: May interact with blood-thinning medications.
Is it for you?
