In addition, krill oil naturally has astaxanthin, a powerful free radical scavenger and immune-supporting carotenoid.* Clinical studies have shown that NKO® krill oil can help to support joint comfort, healthy blood lipid levels already within normal range, and may help to maintain healthy feminine balance.* The phospholipid-bound forms of EPA and DHA from krill oil have also demonstrated exceptionally high bioavailability.* This krill oil is manufactured under strict quality control standards. It is tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals. NKO® is a registered trademark of the Aker BioMarine Antarctic AS. Natural color variation may occur in this product. Review: No burps, less pain; great purchase. - Without posting my long, arduous history regarding cheap fish oils from major retailers, I'll get straight to the point: I am a young man, who has a chronically dislocated shoulder, muscle aches, and arthritis in my knees and ankle joints. I also used to experience headaches on a daily basis. For years, I dealt with taking aspirin and other NSAIDs to attempt to alleviate the pain, to no avail. I even tried taking a glucosamine-chondroitin supplement to reduce the pain I was experiencing. Then, I happened on an article posted by Dr. Mercola about the benefits of Krill oil. Intrigued, I tried a few brands (Schiff's MegaRed, Puritan's Pride) and noticed a slight alleviation to my muscle and joint pain, but had horrible shellfish burps with both brands. I dealt with it for several months, but finally decided to start searching for an alternative that didn't have this side-effect and might be more beneficial. I finally checked desertcart for an enteric-coated capsule that would do the trick, and found the NOW Foods 1000mg Krill oil, and went ahead and ordered it. Personally, I found it to be a superior quality product, without any sort of burps or foul taste coming back after my morning snack and coffee. I was so satisfied with the joint pain relief that I experienced from this product, that I went ahead and decided to order the (slightly cheaper) Krill 500mg pills, which have the same 1000mg-per-serving formation, except in two capsules rather than one. However, after ordering, I noticed that the pills weren't coated. I was a little concerned, but decided to wait and see what kind of results I would have; I have learned since that any sort of krill oil that causes burps is likely rancid, which was surprising considering that krill is supposed to contain astaxanthin- a powerful antioxidant. Still concerned about shellfish burps, I went ahead and trusted NOW Foods to deliver me a product that wasn't rancid; having positive results with the coated version. I was not disappointed; there have been NO burps, even when I take these pills with a cup of hot coffee in the morning. I've actually been feeling even better than when I did taking the 1000mg coated version. Honestly, I can't explain why, but I like the difference. My blood tests have began to become even more positive, and my good cholesterol has improved significantly (I worked in a bakery and had a little too much of a sweet tooth) from where it was. I can focus better, my memory has improved, and my joint pain has lessened- my headaches are completely gone. Seeing as these (rather drastic) results coincided with my consumption of Krill (discontinuation through running out causes the joint pain and focus issues to return) compared to fish oil or aspirin, I will continue to take it for as long as possible. I recommend NOW Foods Krill to every person experiencing the same problems I am, and the coated 1000mg version to those who have experienced shellfish/fish burps from other products (many of them are leery of taking ANY sort of fish or krill oil due to such experiences) from "major" brands found at supermarkets and pharmacies. I couldn't be happier with a krill product, and I'll continue to order this one for as long as I take krill. I have also tried other NOW Foods supplements which were also quite effective, so I do not foresee a drop in quality any time soon. Review: better than fish oil - I have been taking this for a long time and plan to continue.

The expiration date depends on the particular lot the bottle comes from and that varies by warehouse, date of the shipment, etc. The bottle I received in early May has a date on the bottom of 12/2016. Most likely if you're taking at least one a day, you'll be done with the bottle long before it expires. **Q: Does this need to be refrigerated?** A: Refrigeration is not required, but as with most supplements, it would help extend its longevity/freshness. **Q: What is the epa & dha numbers in now neptune krill oil 500mg ?** A: There is 135mg of EPA and 60mg of DHA per serving. **Q: Is this product sourced from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) or some other species?** A: Not surely the exact species. I read that there are 85 species of Krill, and the Antarctic krill species are the best. NOW claims they use the Anrarctic Krill. NOW has a FAQ on their site re:Krill, and I have just contacted them directly about this. I do know one thing: I have used Krill Oil for anumber of years, and NOW's version is very reliable. Because of a price special, I tried another very popular brand for about six months. I had to return 1/3 of the bottles as the Krill caps had leaked and ruined the rest of the caps in the bottle. In the bottles that had not leaked, the capsules still gave me that yucky old fish aftertaste. i went back to NOW, and I am very pleased with their Krill. Have a healthy day! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No burps, less pain; great purchase. *by M***S on July 22, 2014* Without posting my long, arduous history regarding cheap fish oils from major retailers, I'll get straight to the point: I am a young man, who has a chronically dislocated shoulder, muscle aches, and arthritis in my knees and ankle joints.

Seems great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOW Foods Neptune Krill Is Magical *by Q***E on March 9, 2015* As a long time user of Neptune krill, under the NOW Foods label, it's time to sing its fabulous praises. This is a remarkable product, period. For anyone undergoing joint pain, arthritis, high cholesterol or even depressive moods among other ailments, this krill oil is like a one-stop shop. Indeed, it's hard to believe at times---and, yes, I was one of those skeptics---but there's a magic to these soft gel pills! It defies a simple logic: How can such an effective product be so unheralded and vastly unknown by the public thus far? My own joint pain inflammation was decreased immensely, my cholesterol count slashed by 31% (that's not a typo and it surprised my doctor after 8 months of daily use), and even my eye sight improved a bit. As one who did fish oils before krill, there's just no comparison, krill wins. Billions of wild, tiny krill inhabit the pristine Norwegian waters of the North Atlantic which eradicates fears of environmental contamination. While it may smell a little fishy in the bottle, there is absolutely NO FISH TASTE nor after-burps when it's consumed. Krill assimilates very smoothly into the system and there are no side issues. In researching so many brands online, Neptune (NKO), a Canadian company, always came out on top for product quality, purity and intensity. In addition, they've apparently patented the process for it. Take with confidence. Be assured, I've recommended it to friends who've returned with rave reviews in halting their own symptoms of discomfort. Of course, I'm no scientist, but what works, WORKS, people! Best of all, NOW Foods has the best pricing per quality of pill for any company. It's a good guess after a few weeks of using krill, you'll be motivated in writing your own great review. And don't forget to thank me. ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Supplements, Neptune Krill Oil 500 mg, Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3, Cardiovascular Support*, 120 Softgels - NOW Supplements, Mega D-3 & MK-7, 5000 IU / 180 mcg, Bone & Cardiovascular Support*, Vitamins K-3 & K-2, 120 Capsules - NOW Foods Supplements, Magnesium Glycinate 100 mg, Highly Absorbable Form, 180 Tablets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1747256-now-krill-oil-500-mg-120-softgels](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1747256-now-krill-oil-500-mg-120-softgels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
