1. 2,700 mg combined EPA/DHA Omega-3 fats broke the ability for LDL to trigger fat inflammation

2. Basic fish oil capsules have 300 mg of these combined fats

I take Antarctic Krill Oil daily from Amazon / Vivanaturals. One serving (2 capsules) contains 165 mg EPA + 90 mg DHA = 255 mg combined. I'm WAY below that 2,700 target.

Note the "% Daily Value" numbers. If I upped my Krill Oil intake by 10.6X, I'd be ingesting 20% of my daily fat allowance and 50% of daily cholesterol allowance.

Your comments are a little fishy today.

Are you aware of whether krill-oil based supplements accrue the potential heavy metal accumulation issue, or are they tested and processed to obviate that concern?

I found this:

Krill oil supplements generally have a lower risk of contamination with heavy metals compared to other marine oils, such as fish oil. This is because krill are lower on the food chain, which reduces the accumulation of toxins like mercury, arsenic, and PCBs. Additionally, many krill oil supplements undergo purification processes that are specifically designed to remove contaminants.
