Finding the best krill oil supplements is a matter of being a knowledgeable consumer and reading the label. Here's how:
Let’s first review the krill oil labels on the major brand supplied by Aker BioMarine of Norway.
Schiff Mega Red Krill Oil:
Presently Schiff Mega Red Krill Oil is the largest-selling brand of krill oil. As you see from the label above, the company has chosen to market its product based not on the amount of phospholipids contained, but on the amount of omega 3s (EPA & DHA) in the product.
Also, there’s a bit of marketing psychology involved here. Mega Red Krill Oil comes in smaller capsules (300mg) than other major brands' capsules. Thus you are paying less per bottle, but you are actually getting a smaller amount and fewer total nutrients than if the capsules were 500mg each. Even 90 capsules of 300 mg each is 10% less than 60 capsules of 500 mg each. Most clinical krill oil studies were done with 1,000 mg to 3,000 mg krill oil dose per day. In one study one sub group showed some benefits from a 300 mg dose. That’s why most brands recommend 1,000 mg per day. That dose balances cost and clinical efficacy. The recommendation of 300 mg daily dose may be excellent marketing, but is not as solidly grounded in clinical research as a 1,000 mg dose.
Also, note that there is no mention of astaxanthin content on the label. Astaxanthin is a powerful anti-oxidant that accumulates naturally in krill because krill eat astaxanthin-containing algae that grows in the Antarctic ice. Sometimes more astaxanthin is added to the supplement as a precaution against oxidation. Such added astaxanthin is extracted from algae.
Research has yet to confirm this, but some scientists speculate that astaxanthin may synergistically enhance the effects of the phospholipid-based omega 3s in krill oil. Therefore, strong astaxanthin content may be important. Some consumers feel that the combination of krill oil and astaxanthin as a blend is important to them, and they opt for krill oil blends with extra astaxanthin from algae. These krill oil + algae blends can have up to 120 times more astaxanthin than seen in Mega Red Krill Oil.
***
Now let’s look at a brand with a krill oil blend supplied by Azantis.
Source Naturals Arctic Pure Krill Oil label:
Note here that the krill oil dose described on the Source Naturals product is two softgels, which supplies 1g (1,000mg) of the product. This Azantis krill blend contains fish oil to increase the omega 3 levels from triglycerides, while at the same time maintaining omega 3 phospholipids from krill at 42%.
Azantis Pure Krill Oil
Azantis also sells pure krill oil, without the fish oil component, to other resellers. That krill oil supplement is similar to the Mega Red Krill Oil composition on a percentage basis. Find to the right an example of such an Azantis pure krill oil label.
As we've said elsewhere, phospholipid-based omega 3s are what in our opinion define krill oil. When you compare krill oil vs fish oil, you'll find that the omega 3s in fish oil are triglyceride based, making them less bioavailable than the omega 3s in krill oil. High-quality krill oil has a signature of 400mg or more phospholipids per 1,000mg dose.
Also note the diffrence between the astaxanthin levels between the Azantis blend and the Azantis pure product. The blend has 1.5 mg per daily dose and the pure krill oil supplement has 0.2 mg per daily dose.
***
Neptune Krill Oil Label
Nepture Bioressources is the next krill oil supplier. This was the company that pioneered the krill oil market, and that has, so far, conducted most of the clinical research.
Source Naturals also sells NKO krill oil, supplied by Neptune Bioressources, so let’s review that label.
You can see that the amount of phospholipids listed signifies that this is, indeed, the profile of the original krill oil. Also, compare the amount of omega 3s stated on the above labels. Astaxanthin levels are also at 1.5mg, and that is good. This label dates from 2011, and some NKO resellers have since adjusted their labels to reflect slightly lower astaxanthin levels in the NKO krill oil supplement to 1.25 mg per 1,000 mg.
***
Phospholipids, or no phospholipids?
Let's turn now to a group of krill oil brands with 0.5% phospholipid levels.
We at WellWise feel that omega 3 phospholipids are a key ingredient in krill oil as that has been the kind of krill oil that has been clinically studied by Neptune and Aker.
However, as long as an oil is extracted from krill, it is not against the law to market that product as krill oil, even if such krill oil contains hardly any phospholipid. Unfortunately, there’s no industry standard that says that krill oil MUST contain 40% or more omega 3 phospholipids to count.
Omega 3 phospholipids are a valuable ingredient. Pure phospholipids sell for as much as $300 per kilogram. When you do the math, you will see that these phospholipids make up a significant portion of the value in krill oil.
Secondly, there’s no regulatory mandate to disclose phospholipid levels on the label. The combination of low phospholipid levels and no disclosure of such fact on the label may set consumers up for a disappointing experience.
These brands are often marketed at very low prices. Consumers, who believe that all krill oils are the same, could get the impression that they got a steal of a deal by buying one of these low budget products.
How to recognize these krill oil supplements?
It’s hard for consumers to be positively sure that the krill oil contains relatively low levels of phospholipids if it is not spelled out on the label. But here are some things to look for:
Does the label disclose phospholipids content? Is it 0.5% or 40%?
Relatively low Omega 3 levels?
Does the label or the marketing emphasize triglycerides rather than phospholipids?
Is it relatively cheap krill oil?
To the right another label by another brand. This one has even lower omega 3 levels and discloses that it contains 5 mg (or 0.5%) phospholipid.

A good article but ...
Your label to label comparison between Azantis and Neptune is flawed. The Azantis label shows the ingredients for a 1000mg capsule. The Neptune label shows the ingredients for 500mg capsules.
If these labels are correct, Neptune Krill Oil by this comparison is by far more superior to Azantis as it has far greater amounts of omega-3s, phospholipdis and Astaxanthin.
Azantis Pure Krill Oil 1000mg: 190mg omegae, 400mg Phospholipids and .2mg Astaxanthin
The conclusion would have to be that Neptune (more often known as NKO) has a much better value per capsule.
Unless the labels have the amount of the Neptune capsule wrong, Neptune is obviously the better product.
I am not associated with any krill oil company or any supplement company. I just noticed that the side by side comparison was comparing the ingredients of 1000mg capsules to 500mg capsules.

From the labels, it appears BOTH are considering 1g (or 1000mg) of Krill Oil.
Look towards the middle of the label and you will see both products are referencing 1g of Krill Oil. I may be misreading it, but my interpretation is that both products have near identical nutritional values.

My chiropractor/naturopath put me on Mega-K while treating a joint that had been injured and had inflammation and scar tissue build up. I had never taken Krill oil before, but after about a month I noticed a lot of benefits in my overall health (moods, memory, skin, and my joints) and want to continue taking Krill oil. Comparing the labels, I think I'll stay with Mega-K, since it's higher or the same in: Phospholipids (456mg), Astaxanthin (1.5mg), Omega-3 (290mg), and the EPA (183mg) DHA (90mg) than those listed in the article. It also has Phosphatidylcholine (365mg) which according to my doctor, rebuilds cell tissue that normally degenerates with age. I don't see it listed on other brands. The only other sources for it are in huge capsules of Soy oil, which I don't want. I also like how there is no smell or aftertaste like with fish oil supplements. The capsules are black, and I wondered what color the krill oil was since it seems red is what most brands are, so I poked a pin hole in one. It's dark red!

Get a chiropractor who does not mess with nutrition. A good chiro is not a trained nutritionist. The chiros who get into the supplement game tend to not be well-trained chiros.
Find a good old-school chiro who went to the Cleveland School of Chiropractic Medicine. These are the chiros who know the body and know how to make adjustments the right way without using that stupid "gun" mechanism so many are using now. A good chiro know how to adjust. A great chiro will first use heat on the affected areas, then do extreme deep tissue work (massage) that will strip the inflammation out of the muscles and help loosen them. Once the muscles are loose, THEN the appropriate adjustment can be made to the joint. Without loosening the muscles first, if you adjust the joint(s), the relief will be short-lived. Because adjusting the joint without first working the muscles to loosen them means the joint will quickly go back to its dysfunctional position.
That is what a truly great chiro will do. If your chiro does not do this work, ask them why? Inform them of their flawed approach. Inform them that the best chiros work this way because it is the most effective. Chiros who do not do this work have not been trained well. And there are millions of them out there.

I have taken Krill oil for 3 days, then noticed a swelling of my foot with raised red patch. I went to the doctor who assured me it was not from taking the Krill, but a fungal infection. So I took the Krill for another 6 days and developped itchy hands, itchy, blotchy red stomach, breasts and waist. Then I stopped. It didn't subside. So I'm now trying a total de-tox with lemons and maple syrup. It's now day 15, and I'm hoping the de-tox will bring results. I feel there should be a warning given by pharmacists that some people can be allergic to the product.

I take this product as well. I have been using it (formerly Everest Nutrition) for over a year. I discussed it with my doctor as my triglycerides fell from 536 to 78 in two months. I informed him I began taking the krill oil at that time. He said he'd never seen such results. That was over a year ago. I am now 52 years old and still have fantastic numbers. My doctor has informed me he has begun to take this particular krill oil as well. He said he'd researched it and was impressed by the results. We didn't discuss what his numbers are, but I will tell you he is in general practice with Internal Medicine as his specialty.

I'm still very confused by all this. Some label comparisons show the nutritional information for 1 soft gel, others give it for a serving size of 2 gels. This site warns that cheaper brands contain fish oil, whereas the independent consumer tests say that buying higher priced brands doesnt produce better quality. Furthermore, there is no way of knowing for sure whether a company marketing pure krill oil is in fact selling a blend of fish oil and krill oil. Pure Krill Mega 3 for example has good readings for quantity 1000 mg of krill oil, omega 3 readings = total over 250 mg and axarthastin 1.5 g but it is cheap at 15 cents per soft gel. This is a great site but it would be much better if all brands were given a rating like 10 top quality 0 bottom quality. As a result of this site I know what to look for but the information just isnt available in a clear reliable form - labels for example dont say guaranteed to contain zero fish oil.

First off thanks for the article, secondly what do you think of King Krill Max? http://www.carusosnaturalhealth.com.au/king-krill-max.html
Does not specify phospholipids or astaxanthin? I have queried their support why it does not specify astaxanthin and this was there response: All of our King Krill contains Astaxanthin, the reason it is not specified on our King Krill MAX is because we use multiple suppliers to source our Krill oil and we have decided to remove any reference to Astaxanthin to ensure uniformity and consistency on our packaging. To further explain our position, Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is found in Krill oil and is what gives salmon its pink colour, it is not removed in the manufacturing process of the product.

People seem confused about what brand to get. I wouldn't ask that. Companies will just spam here, as I see they already did. Get a piece of paper and read the paragraph above and take notes, about each, Astaxanthin, what to look for etc. Go to your local health food store and compare labels. Don't leave your own health in the hands of people you don't know that are just trying to market their brands.

Here’s a quick summary of what to look for when purchasing fish oil supplements:
Amount of EPA and DHA – the higher the better
Purity tested – avoid mercury and other contaminants
Preservative – needs to have one (look for tocopherol in ingredients)
As with all vitamins and supplements, you get what you pay for. Be sure to check the labels to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.
Metagenics EPA-DHA 720 – a very good product and brand
Look for the GMP seal.

Hi,
I'm new to Krill Oil but happy to share what I have learned so far in my research (this original post was great, thanks).
Looks like Phospholipid level (40%+) defines Krill Oil versus regular fish oil. Some brands add Astaxanthin to get from approx 480 mcg to 1.5 mg. I've been using the "pure" Krill Oil for 4 months. I've got nothing against the Astaxanthin suplemented version, just did not know about it.
Anyway, the main reason for my post is that I have had high cholestrol for 10+ years (LDL & Triclycerides). I've been on Simvastatin, Lipitor, Crestor (All 40 mg) plus fenofibrate and could not get my total cholestrol below 260 or Triglyceride below 170. 4 months on NKO Krill Oil & I have total cholestrol @ 209 & Triglyceride @ 143.

I am still a little confused between the 2 versions of Source Naturals Krill Oil - the Arctic Pure says on the label that it also contains fish oil and soy - so does it still contain the same amount of krill (500mg) as the NKO version? I also see that the NKO version has decreased their amount of astaxanthin from 1.5 MG to 480 mcg as pointed out by another commenter above.
Bottom line which is the best of the 2 Source Naturals products? Or a better alternative (Everest?) although of the examples on this page Source Naturals appears to be the best.

I believe underneath the 500mg line it says "per serving, 2 softgels". Which, of course, equals 1000mg.
#7 Krill oil
Actually the serving size of 2 gel caps means exactly that....it takes 2 gel caps to make the 500mg.
#8 Serving size
No, each softgel is 500 mg. 2 gel caps make 1000. They have to list the mg by each capsule, that's why serving size is specified for nutrition facts.

Comparing the labels, I think I'll stay with Mega-K, since it's higher or the same in: Phospholipids (456mg), Astaxanthin (1.5mg), Omega-3 (290mg), and the EPA (183mg) DHA (90mg) than those listed in the article. It also has Phosphatidylcholine (365mg) which according to my doctor, rebuilds cell tissue that normally degenerates with age. I don't see it listed on other brands. The only other sources for it are in huge capsules of Soy oil, which I don't want. I also like how there is no smell or aftertaste like with fish oil supplements. The capsules are black, and I wondered what color the krill oil was since it seems red is what most brands are, so I poked a pin hole in one. It's dark red!
#22 Get a New Chiro
Get a chiropractor who does not mess with nutrition. A good chiro is not a trained nutritionist. The chiros who get into the supplement game tend to not be well-trained chiros.
Find a good old-school chiro who went to the Cleveland School of Chiropractic Medicine. These are the chiros who know the body and know how to make adjustments the right way without using that stupid "gun" mechanism so many are using now. A good chiro know how to adjust. A great chiro will first use heat on the affected areas, then do extreme deep tissue work (massage) that will strip the inflammation out of the muscles and help loosen them. Once the muscles are loose, THEN the appropriate adjustment can be made to the joint. Without loosening the muscles first, if you adjust the joint(s), the relief will be short-lived. Because adjusting the joint without first working the muscles to loosen them means the joint will quickly go back to its dysfunctional position.
That is what a truly great chiro will do. If your chiro does not do this work, ask them why? Inform them of their flawed approach. Inform them that the best chiros work this way because it is the most effective. Chiros who do not do this work have not been trained well. And there are millions of them out there.

It's on Amazon, just search for "Mega-K krill oil" and it should be on top of the list.

I have read that the best Krill Oil supplements should have a 3 to 1 ratio of DHA to EPA. This article does not even mention this. Why??

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin seo http://www.SeoOptimizationGuide.com/

#32 Krill oil, strength 1000
I have taken Krill oil for 3 days, then noticed a swelling of my foot with raised red patch. I went to the doctor who assured me it was not from taking the Krill, but a fungal infection. So I took the Krill for another 6 days and developped itchy hands, itchy, blotchy red stomach, breasts and waist. Then I stopped. It didn't subside. So I'm now trying a total de-tox with lemons and maple syrup. It's now day 15, and I'm hoping the de-tox will bring results. I feel there should be a warning given by pharmacists that some people can be allergic to the product.
#33 you may be allergic to
you may be allergic to shellfish.... any krill oil you buy should have an ingredients list and an allergy warning right there on the bottle. you just have to read the fine print.
#34 Viva Krill Oil
60 count capsules, 1250mg of Krill Oil, 300 mg of EPA, 95 mg of DHA, 1.6mg of Astaxathin. Grest product and have been taking it for a while now.
#35 Viva Labs Krill Oil
I take this product as well. I have been using it (formerly Everest Nutrition) for over a year. I discussed it with my doctor as my triglycerides fell from 536 to 78 in two months. I informed him I began taking the krill oil at that time. He said he'd never seen such results. That was over a year ago. I am now 52 years old and still have fantastic numbers. My doctor has informed me he has begun to take this particular krill oil as well. He said he'd researched it and was impressed by the results. We didn't discuss what his numbers are, but I will tell you he is in general practice with Internal Medicine as his specialty.
#36 Krill oil
I'm still very confused by all this. Some label comparisons show the nutritional information for 1 soft gel, others give it for a serving size of 2 gels. This site warns that cheaper brands contain fish oil, whereas the independent consumer tests say that buying higher priced brands doesnt produce better quality. Furthermore, there is no way of knowing for sure whether a company marketing pure krill oil is in fact selling a blend of fish oil and krill oil. Pure Krill Mega 3 for example has good readings for quantity 1000 mg of krill oil, omega 3 readings = total over 250 mg and axarthastin 1.5 g but it is cheap at 15 cents per soft gel. This is a great site but it would be much better if all brands were given a rating like 10 top quality 0 bottom quality. As a result of this site I know what to look for but the information just isnt available in a clear reliable form - labels for example dont say guaranteed to contain zero fish oil.

#38 King Krill Max?
First off thanks for the article, secondly what do you think of King Krill Max? http://www.carusosnaturalhealth.com.au/king-krill-max.html
Does not specify phospholipids or astaxanthin? I have queried their support why it does not specify astaxanthin and this was there response: All of our King Krill contains Astaxanthin, the reason it is not specified on our King Krill MAX is because we use multiple suppliers to source our Krill oil and we have decided to remove any reference to Astaxanthin to ensure uniformity and consistency on our packaging. To further explain our position, Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is found in Krill oil and is what gives salmon its pink colour, it is not removed in the manufacturing process of the product.
Thoughts/Comments/Suggestions?
#39 write it down
People seem confused about what brand to get. I wouldn't ask that. Companies will just spam here, as I see they already did. Get a piece of paper and read the paragraph above and take notes, about each, Astaxanthin, what to look for etc. Go to your local health food store and compare labels. Don't leave your own health in the hands of people you don't know that are just trying to market their brands.

Here’s a quick summary of what to look for when purchasing fish oil supplements:
Amount of EPA and DHA – the higher the better Purity tested – avoid mercury and other contaminants Preservative – needs to have one (look for tocopherol in ingredients) As with all vitamins and supplements, you get what you pay for. Be sure to check the labels to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

Look for the GMP seal. is a production and testing practice that helps to ensure a quality product
#42 Tried AstaKrill and loved it
I tried AstaKrill and it worked well for me. Seems to have helped my arthritis too. I got mine at droptherx.com. I was shocked at how fast they shipped so don't pay extra for expedited shipping. Just use the free shipping and you'll have it in a few days.

#48 Hi, I'm new to Krill Oil but
Hi,
I'm new to Krill Oil but happy to share what I have learned so far in my research (this original post was great, thanks).
Looks like Phospholipid level (40%+) defines Krill Oil versus regular fish oil. Some brands add Astaxanthin to get from approx 480 mcg to 1.5 mg. I've been using the "pure" Krill Oil for 4 months. I've got nothing against the Astaxanthin suplemented version, just did not know about it.
Anyway, the main reason for my post is that I have had high cholestrol for 10+ years (LDL & Triclycerides). I've been on Simvastatin, Lipitor, Crestor (All 40 mg) plus fenofibrate and could not get my total cholestrol below 260 or Triglyceride below 170. 4 months on NKO Krill Oil & I have total cholestrol @ 209 & Triglyceride @ 143.
Hope this helps someone.
#49 Krill
Curious as to how much Krill you are taking/day - how many capsules/strength and brand would be of interest to me. Are you still on a statin? Also wondering if your HDL increased as a result of the Krill oil. You can respond to me at rbrodie@rogers.com if you would like.
Cheers,
RB
#50 2 x 500mg ea Source Naturals
2 x 500mg ea Source Naturals Neptune Krill Oils softgels daily. Still on Crestor (40mg) & Fenofibrate (200mg) but hope to come off if the Krill Oils keeps working.
Before: Total = 261; LDL = 176; HDL = 50; Triclyceride = 175.
After: Total = 209; LDL = 134; HDL = 47; Triclyceride = 143.
Hope this helps.
#51 Low HDL
I, too, have been researching Krill Oil for my high chloresterol and reading a lot about HDL levels. Last week as I read, I was reminded that HDL levels under 65 put a person at greater risk for a heart attack/stroke. Please check it out.

#53 which krill oil?
Hi so after reading this more confused please does anyone have a suggesstion as to which krill oil is the best tina
#54 High astaxanthin levels are what you want
AstaKrill 12 has the highest level of astaxanthin of any krill oil on the market. It is made by Azantis and sold by PosiCell at droptherx.com. Hope this helps.
#55 Fake Info on This Website
The lable posted here for Schiff Krill is fake - in fact it never existed. Krill tested best by the independent Consumer Lab. It has plenty of phospholipds.
#56 It's your comment that's fake
The label for Schiff Krill oil can be seen here:
http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3828489
under the 'label' tab. It's exactly the same as the label shown on this website.

Bottom line... which brand is the best??
#63 Thank you so very much
Terribly kind of you to make these postings. One needs to be quite vigilant with regard to the true meanings of labels.
Thank you very much.
#64 Good article..
Thanks for the useful comparison. What brand do you recommend for a 3 year old? How much dosage should be given at that age? Also, have you heard of Dr. Mercola's brand of krill oil? How does that compare with these?
Thanks in advance,

#65 Source Naturals Arctic Pure Krill Oil vs Source Naturals NKO
Very helpful, thanks.
I am still a little confused between the 2 versions of Source Naturals Krill Oil - the Arctic Pure says on the label that it also contains fish oil and soy - so does it still contain the same amount of krill (500mg) as the NKO version? I also see that the NKO version has decreased their amount of astaxanthin from 1.5 MG to 480 mcg as pointed out by another commenter above.
Bottom line which is the best of the 2 Source Naturals products? Or a better alternative (Everest?) although of the examples on this page Source Naturals appears to be the best.
#66 astaxanthin
I read somewhere, I think WebMD, that high does of astaxanthin can build up in your body and it is not good for you.
#67 Ever Nutrition
I have been looking for a new source of krill oil since the one from Source Naturals have decreased their amount of astaxanthin from 1.5 MG to 480 mcg I have been looking at Everest Nutrition. Does anyone have opinions on what would be a good brand? I am getting more confused the more I do research. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
#68 astaxanthin
Viva Labs (formerly Everest) contains 1.6 mg (1600 mcg) of astaxanthin. It comes in a bottle of 60 caps and contains 1200 mg of Krill oil and 300 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids per serving (2 caps).
other values:
EPA 165
DHA 95
Phospholipids 500
I don't think any of the best Krill oil supplements have enough astaxanthin, so I supplement with Nutrex BioAstin 4mg gel caps. Works for me.
#69 Astaxanthin
I was just on the Viva Labs website and they sell an astaxanthin supplement with 5 MG
#70 thank you
This was very helpful. THanks for the post!
