Krill vs Fish Oil
Original post in this thread

Soo, is there any scientific evidence that Krill is superior in any way? Just noticed the new fish oil by ND, and Krill is far more expensive in comparison with Fish yet the amount of Omega-3s you are getting is significantly lower ( which maybe I am wrong, but was always the biggest benefit of these type of products). I mean 750mg vs 120mg seems kinda big difference.
So is there any actual science on Krill, or is it just a novel thing?

Have you considered that vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin? this is important because it can accumulate overtime and can be toxic. worse yet, most multivitamins and many other supplements contain significant amounts mixed tocopherols or other forms of vitamin E, potentially leading to cumulative toxicity. More than 60000 instances of vitamin toxicity are reported annually to US poison control. Perhaps it would be wise to choose a different preservative? (ie, one that is harder to overdose on.)

There is only 2mg of tocopherol in each capsule. So not anywhere near enough to cause issues with people. The maximum dose per day for adults is 1,000mg. It's just in there to keep the oil stable. It's not going to affect daily intake levels in any meaningful amounts.
