Fish oil has, well, hardly any antioxidants.
people who took krill oil had 1.5 times more Omega-3 in their cell membranes than those who took fish oil.

Thanks. Astaxanthin is amazing stuff- did some work with it in college. Interesting about the absorption rate.
FYI, Walgreens has BOGO for most of their vitamins right now... 2 1000mg/30ct bottles of the oil for $14.99- not bad
