fast response, good product with no afteraste

I have researched krill oil on the web quite a bit. One particularly informative site describes the difference between true krill oil and phony krill oil -[...]. Note that this site does not even mention the Everest brand. However, the information presented there corroborates the contents of Everest as being legit. In selecting the krill oil, my emphasis was on the supplement contents and not the capsules. I tried source Naturals NKO and their capsules were a little sloppier than Everest's, but didn't really bother me. However, I switched to Everest because of its higher Astaxanthin content. So far as I can tell, this is the best krill oil for the money. Some have had issues with the capsules, but they are not a problem for me and I don't want to pay extra for fancier pills.If you are going to choose krill oil based on the capsules then Everest is adequate. If you want to choose a krill oil supplement by its content, then Everest stacks up favorably against any other brand out there.Everest Nutrition Krill Oil 1250 mgOmega-3 Fatty Acids 300 mgEicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) 165 mgDocosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) 95 mgPhospholipids 500 mgEsterified Astaxanthin 1.6 mgUpdate 9-19-2013:Comments:1. I wrote this review about a year about two years ago. Since that time, there have been a number of reviews trumpeting the use of a per-capsule content comparison for krill oil that have been reposted across several Krill brands. This type of analysis is invalid and these well-meaning but misguided reviews should be rejected out of hand. Its fairly obvious that capsule size and shape will vary among manufacturers. There is a reason that supplements list their contents per serving and define what a serving is. Krill oil, like most supplements, is priced by the serving/dosage. Furthermore, the labeled contents applies to one serving of the product. A krill oil comparison based on capsule content is analogous to comparing a liquid supplement based on "spoonful" content. A capsule (like a spoon) is of arbitrary, non-standard size and therefore cannot be used as a basis for comparison. Do not allow your judgement to be clouded by these capsule content reviews. Fair comparisons of price and content can only accurately be done on a per-serving basis. You should only trust "per-serving" based reviews. There is a reason that the FDA requires per-serving (not per-capsule) information be listed on a supplement label.2. A second fallacy apparent in some reviews is that Krill Oil can be compared side-by-side with Fish Oil and "whoever has the most Omega-3's wins" . This approach is invalid as Krill Oil does not claim to have more Omega-3's than fish oil. The claim of the Krill Oil industry is that that krill oil works as effectively as Omega-3s from fish oil, yet at a much lower dose. Fish Oil versus Krill Oil is not a case of "whoever has the most Omega-3's wins." If you accept the claims of Krill Oil's bioavailability (less is more), then Krill oil is a viable alternative or addition to your supplement regimen.3. The contents of Viva/Everest Krill oil have been verified by ConsumerLab dot com. To my knowledge, this is the only Krill oil that has been verified by Consumer Lab.Update 9-23-2013: Consumer Lab issued an updated report on 9/21/2013. Everest/Viva is now one of seven Krill Oil brands verified by CL.4. Update 9-23-2013: The per-serving price of this product has increased since my original review. While I still regard this as a high quality product, I now use Nutrigold b/c of a better price per serving.5. Update 12-13-2013: Nutrigold Krill made me sick presumably b/c of rank residue from leaky gel caps. I have switched back to Viva. I plan to stick with Viva for the foreseeable future. Viva's new capsules are very high quality and they don't leak (so far).6. Update 1-25-2014: A word about Capliques:At some point since my original review, Viva switched from gel caps to capliques. Viva suggests that their Krill Oil may (or may not) be refrigerated because the cold air does not affect their capliques. Gel cap Krill oils strongly recommend against refrigeration because the cold air breaks down the gelatin capsules.Cool refrigerator temperatures break down the gelatin capsules which can allow the oil to leak and ooze and become rancid. On the other hand, cool refrigerator temperatures protect the oil from spoilage by markedly slowing down the oxidation process. So, refrigeration of gel cap krill oils is a bit of a catch-22: It breaks down the gel caps and causes them to leak, but it preserves the shelf life of the oil itself.Viva's capliques can be refrigerated and they don't leak (so far).

Product ingredients are high in DHA and EPA but the capsules leak. At the bottom of the bottle is a mess. Please fix this issue. The capsules are coming apart and leaking at the seam

I'm a soon to be a 62 year old man. I had been taking a Fish Oil supplement from a warehouse membership club for a few years just because I thought it would help my cholesterol levels. Did it? I don't know.It was getting close to time that I would need to buy another huge jug of fish oil when I watched an online advertisement for another brand of Krill Oil. It was one of those ads that I hate which was for a miracle cure for everything. The ad seem to take about 10 minutes to tell all the benefits for the product without actually saying what the product was. The more miracles that the product claimed to cure and the more time I had invested in watching the ad, I was determined to find out what the product was. Well, I finally found out it was an ad for Krill Oil. I had heard of Krill oil, but never knew what it was or cared to investigate it. This company was offering some kind of Ponzi scheme of ordering their Krill Oil which could be bought only from them. No thanks!But the ad did pique my curiosity and I started to do research on different brands of Krill Oil. After doing extensive research I decided that the brand I would try was the Viva Labs.My first order was for 4 bottles, which would be enough for two months since I decided to do the aggressive therapy of 4 capsules a day, two with first meal and another two with my second meal. I've just received my second order of 4 bottles since I feel that it just might be responsible for a couple of miracles so far...The first thing I noticed after about the first week was how often I was urinating. I can only assume the Viva Labs Krill Oil was acting as some kind of a diuretic. The swelling in my ankles, calves and fingers started to abate. Folks this is a nagging problem I've had for years. After about the first month my urination frequency returned to normal, but the swelling due to water retention has not returned. I do consider this a miracle!The second thing I noticed was even more remarkable!I haven't been able to go out in public for a few years now, if sitting was involved. Both my knees experienced excruciating pain when sitting down or getting up out of a chair. This pain was so severe that I could not get up or sit down without screaming out an involuntary loud cry of pain. [and I mean LOUD!] I had no problem in bearing the pain, but the screaming out in public was too embarrassing to endure. All the medications that would slightly ease the pain were for temporary use and ate my stomach up and no telling what they were doing to my liver. My knees did not hurt while sitting, while walking or laying down. My family begged me to see about getting knee replacements. What could this possibly have to do with Viva Labs Krill Oil?After a couple of weeks of Viva Labs Krill Oil therapy I started to notice less pain in my knees when rising or sitting. And the loud screams were toning down to a loud grunt. After another couple of weeks the pain was barely there and I only let out a whimper. By the time I had almost finished the 2 month supply my knees were pain free and no sounds whatsoever when I sat or got up. I definitely consider this a miracle also!I honestly cannot say that Viva Labs Krill Oil had anything to do with either of my miracles. I can say that the only thing that changed in my daily routine was adding the Viva Labs Krill Oil therapy! Anyway, I'm on my second order of 4 bottles now and somehow it just doesn't seem quite as expensive as the first order did! [same price for both orders] Also, I can't help to believe it may be doing a lot more behind the scenes that I don't know about...

I think this product actually works ,after taking it for over 1 months I feel so much better.
