Krill oil substitute?

It's been quite awhile since I've taken (Neptune) krill oil..prior to that I took if for many moons. I just keep getting things that are on sale..which this one is. Has much more dha and epa..Krill has Astaxanthin though...both contain phospholipids...etc.
Dr. Paris Kidd's Total Brain Formula is a precise combination of high-quality phospholipids, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

Not sure if this is Vesisorb..the PQQ addition is interesting: http://www.pureprescriptions.com/produc ... ctsID=978#

Edit..it's MicroActive CoQ10: http://www.bioactives.com/coq10complexprodspec.html which is even used in oral health products http://www.4theperfectsmile.com/q-litol_information.htm

Now if only they'd add fish or krill oil....

Vectomega- Whole Food Omega-3 DHA/EPA Complex Phospholipids—Hydrolyzed Peptides

It's the only phospholipid bound Omega-3 with DHA and EPA in a biological form as it naturally occurs in salmon (not chemically altered or spiked), ensuring optimal absorption.

I might just start taking fish oil again (and maybe astaxanthin seperately) after my krill runs out. I was under the impression that taking one gram of krill was equal to about 6 grams of fish oil, but this study http://www.nutraingredients.com/Researc ... says-study shows that it doesn't absorb much better at all. After searching on imminst.org, everyone is saying krill oil hasn't been studied enough and it's better to just go with fish oil for now. I'm guessing most of the anti-inflamatory effects of krill oil are from the astraxanthin.

Well the phospoholipids are also a bonus..but you can get those via other supplements, including some posted in this thread(compare some of those with the krill). All of the ingreds naturally occurring as they do in krill oil *may* be a little better though.

I still think krill oil is good..especially Neptune krill oil(I am going to restrain myself from having a little fun with that :lol: )..They did do a brilliant thing by testing the stuff out- studies etc..so that's in their favor when promoting the stuff. I was on the stuff from the beginning when it first came out..but like with everything, I went off it for awhile and used other things..still do even. If there ever were a huge sale on Neptune krill oil or some other similar product..I'd go back on it. But as you said..there are pluses for both krill and fish oil. I don't think it's a life and death decision though..especially for your hair.

http://biopharmasci.com/patients/nanoepa/default.asp
The “secret” behind NanoEPADHA’s exceptionally smooth and extremely pleasant taste is emulsification, one of the many SuperSorb® Enhanced Delivery Systems we employ. Emulsification is a process that breaks down the nutrient oils into very small droplets, which allows all the ingredients to stay blended together. Emulsification helps create a delightful lemon meringue taste, completely free of fishy taste or after taste, while also providing a smooth creamy texture, instead of an oily one. You won’t believe its fish oil!

And 300% More Absorbable!

Even better, by breaking down the fish oil and vitamins D & E into very tiny droplets, the absorption, and therefore the health benefits, may be increased by up to 300%.

That means that just one teaspoon of NanoEPADHA can provide as much benefits as 3 standard fish oil pills plus the added benefits of vitamins D and the complete vitamin E complex!
Furthermore, as even the best fish oils can easily become unstable (oxidized), both in the bottle and the body, NanoEPADHA is fortified with the lipid antioxidant protection of all eight different kinds of vitamin E (four tocopherols and four tocotrienols) emulsified for maximum absorption, protection and benefit.

I've been taking that latter product there..NanoEPA. Normally fish oil doesn't do much for my skin- end up taking seabuckthorn, coconut etc oils starting around this time to get ready for the cold dry season. Which I'll still do..but I notice the difference in my skin already with this NanoEPA. I take about a tablespoonful a day.

Interestingly, the one negative study I discovered examined the relative bioavailability of krill oil vs. other omega 3 sources, mostly fish oils – menhaden oil (MO), salmon (SO) or tuna (TO). According to the authors of the trial, “Rats fed KO had significantly lower DHA digestibility and brain DHA incorporation than SO and TO-fed rats. Of the n-3 PUFA sources, rats fed SO and TO had the highest n-3 PUFAs digestibility and, in turn, tissue accretion”.
In general, krill oil appears to provide comparable effects to fish oil using a slightly lower dosage. In real world terms, 543 mg of DHA & EPA from krill oil has been found equivalent to 864 mg of DHA & EPA from fish oil. However, taking into account the considerably higher cost of krill oil, this isn’t a very good proposal. In addition, one experiment, which tested these very same amounts of fish and krill oil over a 7 week period found, “no statistically significant changes in any of the serum lipids or markers of oxidative stress or inflammation between the study groups”. That’s a clear disappointment and in stark contrast to the evidence I presented in my initial column. In fact, the last few years have failed to produce any human data that inspires much confidence in the use of krill oil over other omega 3 sources. In fairness, there may be confounding factors involved. For instance, the majority of the recent studies have used a source of krill oil manufactured by Aker Biomarine which contains low levels of astaxanthin – significantly lower than the amount contained in the krill oil used in some of the earlier investigations. But, what interests me most is this: Krill oil sales have skyrocketed over the past few years although the quality of research supporting its use has taken a turn for the worse. Only time will tell if continued brisk sales and better study results are in the cards for krill oil in the years to come. At the moment, my personal view of KO is not nearly as rosy as it was in 2009.

While most people now recognize the value of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, it turns out there is another fatty acid that may be equally important. It's called docosapentaenoic acid, or DPA, and emerging research suggests it plays a critical role in helping other fatty acids work inside the body while providing its own unique benefits as well. Different fish oils contain varying levels of DPA, which may explain the different in benefits noted in scientific research. Common fish oils used in supplements, such as sardine and salmon oil, often feature 3% DPA at most, while others measure less than 1%. Unlike these other supplements, OmegaActiv™ is made with high-DPA menhaden, a little known fish in the herring family that boasts nearly 5% DPA along with clinically relevant levels of EPA and DHA. Swanson EFAs OmegaActiv is 70% omega-3, delivering 450 mg DHA, 85 mg DPA and 45 mg EPA in every 1,000 mg softgel. If you're taking another fish oil supplement, you could be missing an important part of the Omega-3 equation. Make the switch to OmegaActiv for complete essential fatty acid nutrition.
