Back to the krill oil...

I believe that some manufacturers claim that theirs is better absorbed, hence more effect from "less". I really don't know if that is true.

Here is the Wiki link on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krill_oil

and also About.com:
http://altmedicine.about.com/od/herb...a/krilloil.htm

The red antioxidant, astaxanthin, appears to be its distinguishing feature.

I am still guarded about krill, as overfishing this could impact so many larger ocean species, that it seems like a dangerous thing in these times.

And this is what Andrew Weil MD has to say:
