Dr. Mercola Krill Oil for Kids, 60 Capsules
UPC: 813006011495
Dr. Mercola Krill Oil for Kids is a dietary supplement designed to provide omega-3 fatty acids in a form intended for children's use. It delivers 320 mg of krill oil per serving, with omega-3s carried as phospholipids, which the manufacturer states may enhance bioavailability compared to some other forms. The formula includes organic astaxanthin as an antioxidant and is encapsulated in fish gelatin with organic olive oil and rosemary leaf extract.
This product is notable for its sourcing and production methods. The krill oil is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certified, ensuring traceability from harvest to processing. The manufacturer uses a patented harvesting technique that processes krill alive on the boat to maintain freshness, and the capsules are filled with nitrogen to reduce oxidation potential, which they claim improves shelf life. The smaller capsule size is formulated to be easier for children to swallow. Suggested use is two capsules daily with a meal for children aged 4 and older.
