I buy 120 softgels of 500 mg each for about $31. With Amazon Prime I get free shipping, and with Amazon Subscribe and Save I get a 15% discount off the price listed above. I think it's a good deal! http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Neptune-Krill-500mg-Softgels/dp/B003O1Y4C2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330313830&sr=8-1 Enjoy! Will Amazon ship to B.C.?

The statement "The phospholipid structure of the EPA and DHA in krill oil makes them much more absorbable and allows for a much easier entrance into the mitochondria and the cellular nucleus," sounds great but there is one minor flaw. Krill is not absorbed intact. Omega-3s are broken down and metabolized and converted during the actual process of digestion. This is the flaw with the krill theory. Omega-3s have to get to the cells and they are converted long before they get there. There is one minor problem with this article.

Vitamin levels have since then improved. Recently, my husband got me cod liver oil capsules from Seven Seas with 2 capsules 2wice a week to be taken. With the amount of mercury and possible rancidity and other problems i read on the net about it, am worried now. Your article on Krill oil looks promising. Given that am planning pregnancy, do you recommend it? if so, could you please advise how many (i also suffer from severe constipation for which i take 2 spoonfuls of softovac each night as well as asthematic). I am afraid you would advise consulting a local doctor, but any general information you could provide would be helpful. Thanks. Hi Dr.,

It looks like you are saying not to take EPO. Is there a better form of GLA that I can take or are you saying to avoid GLA all together? Hi Dr. Eades, I am confused on the EPO and GLA.

I am on Prevastatin 20 mg and Tricor 145 mg (taken at different times) this did not reduce my cholesterol so I started taking fish oil 1000 mg. and still nothing. Took krill oil 1000mg and in 3 months it went down to 90. So it does work for me.

How can I find out which product sources NKO krill oil? I found this one called Everest Nutrition. http://www.krilloilreview.org/?gclid=CJ6T0abk860CFeUZQgodUFmDsA Thank you. Hi Dr. Mike,

But KO is different. It improves my mood and thinking in a way that other fish oils don't. I've found I need to take a about 5g of cod liver oil to get a similar effect to 1g of KO. The improvement from KO was a surprising result.
