Why is your rather expensive krill oil so low in EHA/DPA?  At 70 mgs per capsule someone with high triglecerides would need to take a minimum of 35 pills per day to get the minimum recommended amount of 2500-3500 mgs of EHA/DPA per day.  That means the 24.95 bottle wouldn't even last two days. 

Why is your product better than products that contain 300 mgs per capsule, 20 capsules a bottle at Dollar Tree (and are made with small cold water fish which limits the risk of mercury)?  A month's supply of your krill oil pills would cost me 287.58-479.30; a month supply of Dollar Tree's would cost me 12-18.  Yours might be slightly lower in mercury but it's not worth paying over 25 times the amount per month.

Hello,

It is not the amount in the product but more importantly the bio-availability of the krill that is the benefit.  I would suggest taking 2 krill caps twice per day with meals and also assess your Nutritional Type to aid in overcoming your high triglycerides.

If you feel that a product at Dollar Tree is the supplement you want to put into your body that by all means is your choice but it would not be our recommendation.
