Krill oil vs. Fish oil? AH!

Mollydolly10

Does anyone have any 'expert' opinions about which is the best for you - krill oil or fish oil. I heard about Mega Red (http://www.schiffmegared.com/default.asp) which is krill oil and they say it is better for you than fish oil.

I am currently taking NEITHER, but looking into taking one or the other along with my daily multivitamin.

Does anyone know or can anyone point me to a source to read? Thanks so much!

EDIT: Found a really interesting article! Bottom line:

"The Phospholipid-bound Omega-3 in Krill oil is much better absorbed than the Omega-3 in fish oil. But you will pay way too much for that benefit.

You are MUCH better off taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil.

But I would switch to Krill oil in a heart beat if:

I could get a 1000 mg Krill oil pill (instead of the 300 or 500 mg pills that flood the market)
Get it for a slightly higher price than fish oil. I’ll pay a little more for Krill oil…because it is 40% better absorbed.

But I’m not going to pay 5X or 10X more! That’s crazy!"
