Analysis

This krill oil is designed for children, providing omega-3s and phospholipids for their growing brains and bodies. It includes 2 mg of organic astaxanthin, which is a safe and helpful dose for basic antioxidant support in kids. The oil base ensures that both the fats and the astaxanthin are absorbed efficiently.

This is an excellent option for parents who want a high-purity marine oil for their children without a fishy taste. The small dose of astaxanthin adds a layer of protection for developing cells and tissues.

  • No fishy aftertaste

Cons

  • Higher cost for a children's supplement
