LABO Nutrition Perfect Krill 1000 mg, Pure Ultra Strength Antarctic Krill Oil with Omega-3s, EPA, DHA, Phospholipids, Choline & Astaxanthin, Heart, Joint, Brain Support Supplement, 60 softgels

Because of improved bioavailability, my husband and I have switched from fish oil supplementation to krill oil. The added benefits in krill are no fishy burps, and the inclusion of other important nutrients like choline, phospholipids, and astaxanthins.We like this Perfect Krill formula for a variety of reasons. It’s manufactured by a reputable company, Labo Nutrition, and utilizes Superba 2™ krill oil. That means Aker BioMarine (of Norway) uses patented eco-harvesting technology to ensure optimal freshness and unnecessary bycatch. This technology results in minimal environmental impact. I appreciate such commitment to sustainable fishing practices. In addition, Superba 2™ also incorporates Flexitech™, which helps improve encapsulation properties, such as improved smell, taste and visual appearance. It's noticeable.Krill oil is a good way to increase choline levels which support vital bodily functions. It helps with my dry eyes and improves my husband’s cholesterol levels. We find this krill oil to be a much better value than leading competitors, and will continue taking it.

Since I have reached my mid 50s, I am doing everything I can to help my heart and joints bear the brunt of time. This Perfect Krill supplement has really made a difference in the way I am feeling overall. My knees feel better and that is the number one side effect that I have noticed over time when taking this. They are easy to swallow, and I do not get "fishy burps" afterward. I like the amount of EPA and DHA included in this formula. This has been a nice compliment to my daily vitamin routine. I will continue to use this formula indefinitely because it is helping me to feel good on the inside as well as the outside.

The quality of the oil may be fine, but these smell and taste nasty so I switch to a better brand

I was first disappointed to realize that the EPA and DHA in this Krill oil are considerably less than in the fish oil pills I am trying out. BUT after doing some research, it *appears* that the oils from Krill may be more easily usable by the body. So... there is that... and it makes it very hard to compare the two.The highlights of this? Much easier, smaller gels than fish oil. Don't give fishy burps later (though mine are extremely minimal from quality fish oil anyway). And they have some benefits that are not listed in fish oils.The downside? Cost. It is quite a bit more costly than my favorite brand of fish oil. And it *is* lower in the EPA/DHA significantly.So.... my rating on this runs to "average". It isn't the most expensive, but definitely not the cheapest, either and it is closer to the expensive side.I will be taking these on alternating days with my fish oil. Get the best of both worlds, right?Thanks for taking the time to read my review. If you found it helpful, I would love to know. You can mark or feedback with the buttons below.

This only has 196 combined EPA/DHA, whereas a daily dose should be a minimum of 250, probably closer to 500.I take 500mg EPA/DHA, plus I take cod liver oil, and a bonus dose of flax and/or help daily, and my recent bloodwork showed I was *still* low on EPA/DHA. So my doctor said add another 200mg.Following my doctors instructions (700mg EPA/DHA), that would mean I have to take 4 of these a day... making this bottle just a 15 day supply.Fortunately, the almost 200 EPA/DPA is exactly what I needed to add to my existing daily regiment, so it's going to work for me. But if you're relying on this alone for your daily needs, I'm highly doubtful it's enough, unless you eat a lot of seafood - I would make sure to ask your doctor to get tested, to make sure you're getting enough.I do like that it has astaxanthin in it, but this is 200mcg (0.2mg), and my doctor wants me on 12mg daily. So this is about 1/60th of a daily dose.Similarly, the choline and phospholipids are small doses. The daily recommended dose for Phospholipids is typically 840mg twice daily, so this provides 400mg, about 1/4th of your daily needs.I think the price is a bit high for what you get.My final note to the brand: The bottle arrived half empty, perhaps being wasteful with bottles contributes a bit to the price being too high. We are facing a global plastics pollution crisis, they are finding plastic waste in just about every corner of the planet, even remote areas of the arctic sea! So please be be smarter about packaging - either fill the bottle to the brim (and adjust your price accordingly), or ship in a right-sized bottle. Be smarter about your footprint - and besides, it will reduce the number of Amazon deliveries, and keep costs down for everyone.
