Krill Oil Mini 60 Capsules

Blackmores Krill Oil Mini is a small soft capsule built on 500 mg of Antarctic krill oil, with astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis and vitamin E added on top. Krill oil carries its omega-3 largely in phospholipid form, and this capsule declares 150 mg of phosphatidyl choline alongside its EPA and DHA. It comes as the 60 soft capsule bottle.
