A krill oil supplement with enhanced bioavailability and antioxidant benefits from astaxanthin, but suffers from a very low total Omega-3 dosage, limiting its overall health impact for the stated goals.
Doctor's Best Real Krill offers 77mg of Omega-3 fatty acids per serving, derived from 350mg of Antarctic Krill Oil Complex, along with 140mg of phospholipids and 28mcg of astaxanthin. Krill oil is lauded by nutritionists for its superior bioavailability compared to traditional fish oil, as its Omega-3s are bound to phospholipids, potentially allowing for better absorption and fewer 'fishy burps.' Astaxanthin provides powerful antioxidant properties. However, the total Omega-3 dosage is quite low, significantly less than what is generally recommended for substantial benefits in areas like heart or brain health. Online reviews often praise the lack of fishy aftertaste and the added antioxidant, but some users may find the dose insufficient.
- Omega-3s delivered in phospholipid form, enhancing bioavailability and reducing fishy aftertaste.
- Contains Astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant with additional health benefits.
- Smaller capsule size compared to many fish oil supplements.
- Very low total Omega-3 fatty acid content (77mg), likely insufficient for significant therapeutic effects.
- May not provide adequate EPA/DHA levels for specific health goals like heart or brain support.
- Individuals seeking high doses of Omega-3s for specific health conditions may find this product inadequate.

Categories
Omega-3 50.0
While it is an Omega-3 product and contains krill oil with good bioavailability, the exceptionally low total Omega-3 dosage means it doesn't stand out among other Omega-3 supplements that offer significantly higher and more therapeutically relevant amounts of EPA and DHA per serving.
Goals
General Health 40.0
The very low Omega-3 dosage, despite the krill oil form, is unlikely to contribute significantly to general health improvements in adults. It's more of a minimal supportive dose than a comprehensive supplement for overall well-being.
Skin Health 40.0
Omega-3s can contribute to skin hydration and barrier function, and astaxanthin is a known antioxidant for skin. However, the low Omega-3 dosage might offer only modest benefits for skin health compared to products with higher concentrations.
Brain Health 35.0
For brain health, higher concentrations of DHA are typically recommended. The 77mg of total Omega-3s from krill oil is likely too low to offer substantial cognitive benefits or support neuroprotection for adults, as supported by nutritionist recommendations for effective brain support.
