I started taking Krill Oil earlier this year (below - two capsules in the morning before breakfast and no obnoxious fish burps). The article says...
"3 grams each day of EPA and DHA, in food or supplement form, may be the ideal dose to help lower blood pressure. About 4 to 5 ounces of Atlantic salmon provides 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids."

"Fish oil supplement doses can vary but typically provide about 0.3 gram per pill."

"A new analysis found taking more than 2 grams per day of DHA and EPA combined in supplement form may lower triglycerides, but not LDL cholesterol."

The recommended dosage of the Antarctic Krill Supplement (below) is two capsules of which provides 0.26 g / day of DHA + EPA. The article says the average supplement pill is 0.3 g / pill, over twice this amount. The 0.26 g/day is only 9% of the recommended dose of 3 g/day which is disappointingly low.

Krill oil may be better absorbed, but nowhere near that much better absorbed, r at least you need rather more pills.

I take Spring Valley high strength fish oil from Walmart. About 1,000 mg of DHA/EPA in a single pill, for as little as 12.5 cents, in the two 180 capsule multipack.
