Analysis

This women-specific krill oil supplement provides 1 gram of krill oil, delivering bioavailable omega-3s, 2mg of organic astaxanthin, and 50mg of naturally occurring choline, similar to the general krill oil product. Its distinctive feature is the addition of 500mg of organic Evening Primrose Oil (EPO), known for its Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) content. EPO is widely used to support women's hormonal balance, alleviate PMS symptoms, and improve skin health. This makes the product a comprehensive women's health supplement, combining general wellness benefits with targeted support. However, the inclusion of EPO significantly increases the price per serving to $1.16, making it a more expensive option for consumers who may not prioritize or require the additional women's health components.

Pros
  • Combines the comprehensive benefits of highly bioavailable krill oil (omega-3s, astaxanthin, choline) with the targeted support of organic Evening Primrose Oil.
  • Evening Primrose Oil, rich in GLA, offers specific benefits for women's hormonal balance, skin health, and management of PMS symptoms.
  • Organic ingredients underscore a commitment to quality and purity.
  • Provides a multi-faceted approach to women's health in a single supplement.
Cons
  • Higher price per serving ($1.16) compared to the standard krill oil from the same brand, potentially making it less cost-effective for general use.
  • Specific EPA/DHA amounts from krill oil are not listed, making it difficult to assess the exact omega-3 potency for comparison purposes.
  • The added Evening Primrose Oil might not be necessary or desired by all female consumers, especially if not experiencing related symptoms.
Warnings
  • Individuals with shellfish allergies should strictly avoid krill oil products due to potential allergic reactions.
  • Those on blood-thinning medication or with seizure disorders should consult a doctor before taking this product, as both omega-3s and Evening Primrose Oil can have effects on blood clotting or seizure thresholds.

Categories
Astaxanthin 70.0
Includes 2mg of organic Astaxanthin, a good natural dose that contributes significant antioxidant benefits and supports the product's overall efficacy, particularly for skin and anti-inflammatory goals. It's a beneficial component within the astaxanthin collection.
Choline 60.0
Provides 50mg of naturally occurring choline from krill oil, which is a valuable supplementary amount for general health, though not equivalent to a dedicated high-dose choline supplement. It contributes meaningfully to the choline content without being the sole focus.
Goals
Skin Health 85.0
The combination of omega-3s from krill oil and GLA from Evening Primrose Oil provides powerful support for skin barrier function, hydration, and elasticity. Astaxanthin's antioxidant protection further enhances these benefits, making it an excellent choice for skin health, especially for women.
Heart Health 85.0
Omega-3s from krill oil effectively support cardiovascular health by managing lipid profiles, reducing triglycerides, and decreasing inflammation. While Evening Primrose Oil's direct impact on heart health is less pronounced, it does not negate the strong benefits from the krill oil component.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 85.0
Both krill oil (omega-3s, astaxanthin) and Evening Primrose Oil (GLA) possess strong anti-inflammatory properties, offering comprehensive support for reducing systemic inflammation. This makes the product highly effective across various inflammatory pathways.
