Fish oil vs krill oil
Original post in this thread

1. I noticed the omega 3 content in krill oil is significantly lower than fish oil. Around 100 mg epa/dha compared to 650 in the triple strength fish oil, while also being more expensive. Krill oil is supposed to be more bioavailable, but can it be 6.5 times more bioavailable?
2. How stable are both products? I'm looking at the 180ct, can it survive without refrigeration for 6 months? I live in a hot country. Also, will it survive the shipment this time of year? I see temperatures in Phoenix are pretty ridiculous even now haha.
And lastly, are there any other benefits to using krill oil rather than fish oil except for improved bioavailability? I'll gladly pay extra for a more effective product, but would obviously still prefer the cheaper option if the difference is not huge.
Thanks in advance!

1) No, certainly not 6.5X more bioavailable. However, the phospholipid forms do have their own benefits and effects that some people might prefer.
2) Both are very stable, and contain antioxidants to ensure they stay that way. Our facility is all temperature-controlled, and we ship them in insulated mailers with cool packs when heat is an issue. There is no reason to worry.
