IS IT BETTER THAN KRILL OIL?
1637645
NO---Krill oil is produced from the Krill fish which are almost microscopic to only a couple millimeters long and from the coldest waters of the Antarctic. The colour of the Krill is much deeper red or brown. The deeper the colour also will denote the better antioxident power. Granted, Cod Liver Oil is an excellent supplement, especially if it is a cold processed type like the NOW brand. Many are heat processed which will easily become rancid. Try Krill oil, especially if you have a cholesterol or trigliceride imbalance, joint issues, arthritis, or distressed immune system. Hope this helps.

In general, there is no need to take both, flax oil and fish oil. That would be too much, because both contain Omega3 fatty acids. Barlean's is a good company, which supports the I-522: Your right to know. They are for the GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) labeling. I assume you would like to know if you are taking GMO products. Having said that, I personally prefer Krill Oil. Krill Oil has the highest concentration of Omega3. I always buy Dr. Mercola's Krill Oil. You can trust Dr. Mercola's products. Please, google Dr. Mercola. He has his own website. His clinic is in the state of Illinois.

This version has Evening Primrose Oil in it, a source of GLA (gamma linoleic acid) that is thought to possibly be beneficial to helping regulate a woman's hormones. While EPO helps some, anyone with estrogen sensitivity or dominance concerns should avoid it. Krill on it's own is fine and the more powerful of the two oils anyway.

Hi...I understand your indecision. It's difficult to make a decision on this type of product.I normally go by the claims, how it is processed, and have a good look at the nutritionallabel information. I've used #1 nutrition krill but not the Now brand. Hope this is helpful!

Don't tell anybody but this is some of the best machine oil ever made. As good as Sperm whale oil. It is also great for dry skin. It does a good job on your hair. Last and maybe least it is a laxative but according to what I've read overdoing it can have spectacular results. Please note that this product is not toxic but humans can't digest it and getting this or mineral oil into your lungs would be a bad idea. Some some organisms can digest it. This plant was cultivated for a while because people wanted to use it for biodiesel but its much to costly to grow for biodiesel. I use it on hair, skin, and machine parts.

Hi J, We would like to thank you for trying Viva Labs Krill Oil and really appreciate your feedback about our product. Upon inspection it would appear as though our capsules are not entirely full, however our capsules are flushed with nitrogen in order to remove oxygen, thereby preserving essential omega-3's. While it appears as though there is an air bubble, rest assured each capsule does in fact contain 625mg of krill oil. Our krill oil is third party tested and results are shown on ConsumerLab.com, justifying our label claims and exceeding customer expectations. I hope that this information has been helpful and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly at amazon@vivalabs.com or through this comment thread and I would be happy to assist you. Besa Registered Nutritionist Viva Labs

To be honest I'm not sure. I do know that it is 100 times better quality than boiled linseed oil.

Personally I like to use Krill Oil because it is highly bioactive and readily absorbed.

Hi there! Black Label Krill Oil is the name of the product. It is manufactured for RagTagHealth located in Kentucky. Hope that helps!

The IFOS doesn't "score" fish oils in the sense of rating them against each other on a scale (no pun intended!), best to worst, but they do provide an analysis of just what's in them..and not in them. However, this product, like most wild salmon oils, is not on the IFOS. I do know, however, that theirs IS molecularly distilled, so it is clean. Wild salmon is (normally) very clean to begin with, but Solgar does their own additional cleaning and testing to ensure purity, potency, and freshness. If you want the details of how they do this, you can go to their website at solgardotcom. It is too long to post here. I know that Barlean's Wild and Whole salmon oil IS on the IFOS if that's what you're looking for. Hope that helps.

Melissa sorry it has taken me awhile to respond to your question but I have been away from a computer from a while. about the oil, I didn't like the oil. it was very heavy and messy on my hair and I stopped after two uses. I prefer the liquid gold hair growth crème that is much better and results are from after a few weeks use.

I don't know the difference between the Krill and Ultra Omega however, I can tell you after taking Glucosamin for years and then trying a sample of the Ultra Omega I switched as I noticed overnight result and of course loved taking a smaller pill. I had been taking triple Of G.

There is no krill oil in it...this product is fish oil, not krill oil. Krill are shrimp-like shellfish creatures that whales and other animals, marine and land, eat by the ton. And lots of fish eat krill, wild salmon for one. This is what gives them their bright pink/red color....and why krill oil is very red. It's a chemical called astaxanthin.

Krill oil has Omega 3 but is not from fish. It does not leave you with a fishy taste in your mouth. Good stuff!

I can only speak for the Number One Nutrition Omega 3 Krill Oil. One of the major reasons I endorse the product is because there was never any fish odor or taste. With some other prominent Krill products, you can smell the fish odor as soon as the container cap is opened.

It's very comparable. I use it for my dog's skin/coat and was using salmon oil prior to discovering this product. It works just as well and you get more product for your money. I was purchasing a 12oz product for $18 and this is more for a just a little more $ however it lasts me much longer than the salmon oil I was using

I suggest you check into Dr Joseph Mercola's newsletters regarding krill oil. To me, at least, the benefits of MarineD3 are very similar to what I get from krill oil capsules from Swansons Vitamins. When taking the MarineD3 I began feeling a gradual yet definite improvement in my back, knees and better flexibility within 5-6 days but everyone is different. If your joints are hurting understand that sugar in all its' many forms including fruit juices (!) are at or close to the top of the list of causes of inflammation. Caffeine is also a huge inflammer. Reducing your intake of all sugars (except raw stevia) and caffeine and reducing as much processed foods as possible will gradually improve your health in all areas. Adverse reactions to calamarine (squid) are possible but much less likely than to shellfish. Squid has no shell hence there is no allergy warning on the label. You might wish to know the underlying cause of most allergies stem from our consumption of highly processed, refined foods which are devoid of nutritional value. Over time, eating whole foods as God intended reduces or eliminates the vast majority of allergies.
