800 mgs EPA + 500 mgs DHA
I am often asked how Krill Oil compares with Fish Oil because the marketers of Krill Oil are making significant claims.
There would need to be a head to head study to determine this but in the meantime we can say that Fish Oil is regarded internationally as an excellent source of essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA). There are hundreds of studies which confirm this.
Carlson Fish Oil contains 800 mgs of EPA and 500 mgs of DHA in each 5 ml teaspoon (very high potency). A Krill Oil capsule contains 45 mgs of EPA and 27 mgs of DHA (There is a 20 fold difference). Is Krill Oil 20 times better absorbed?
I decided to ask the scientific team at Carlson Labs
“Contrary to what the marketers of krill oil prefer to state, there is essentially a complete absence of published peer-reviewed data showing that krill is even effective at all, not to mention better than fish oil. This is not to say that it isn’t effective, but it is certainly not appropriate to claim it is vastly superior to fish oil without data to support such claims. A simple search of www.pubmed.gov for krill oil returns 14 results. A search for fish oil returns 15,121 results. It’s not a stretch to state that fish oil is by far the superior supplement in terms of clinically supported research. Fish oil is even sold as a prescription drug in multiple countries, yet krill oil is not. There is a legitimate reason for this."
