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.

blue whales the largest animal on Earth are sustained for 8 months after feeding exclusively on krill during the summer.....(4 months)
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
