[TD="colspan: 2, align: left"]Mercola's own Krill oil provides only 155mg of EPA+DHA per 2-cap serving. The page is silent on how much to take per day, and I haven't looked into Mercola's posture on total intake.
Assuming the effective 33% advantage, to get a mooted 2000mg per day (3g equivalent) would be 26 capsules per day, and $13.00 per day.
Mercola has an article up today on Krill. It's again silent on total DHA+EPA intake suggested (actual or effective).
It claims:
“Studies have shown that krill oil may be 48 times more potent than fish oil.”.
That would have to be true for the serving size of his product to be your daily dose.
But it's immediately contradicted by the next claim:
“Researchers gave subjects less than 63 percent as much krill-based EPA/DHA as the fish oil group, yet both groups showed equivalent blood levels — meaning the krill was more potent.”
