Easy to take – no aftertaste
I like that this is a blend of both krill and fish, as they both have unique benefits. I also love that this supplements has 300 mcg of astaxanthin, as I use this for healthy eyes. This contains phospholipid binding which is really good for reaching the brain – a unique benefit.This product is manufactured in the USA. The gelcaps are pretty standard size – they slip down pretty easily. I haven’t noticed any aftertaste or other problems with these. They seem to be a fresh, well-made krill/fish oil.

Good product with several essential ingredients and benefits
I like that this is a blend of fish and krill oil, and so does my doctor, who recommends such a supplement – for me, at least, at my age and physical condition. You should check with your own doctor, obviously.I don’t much like that these gelcaps are so large, nor that I have to take 2 per day to reach the recommended dosage. That does allow me to split it into a morning and evening half-dose, however, so that’s nice. The mix of active ingredients in this is good for heart & circulatory system, brain health, eye health, and general all-round maintenance, and I haven’t noticed any negative effects such as fishy taste/burps or upset tummy. The two per day dose does mean that these are a little on the expensive side.As for brain health, where were these when I was a teenager and could have used something to make me even half as smart as I thought I was?

Too Expensive
I am a cancer patient living on a fixed income. I have to watch every penny I spend. I also am instructed to take many supplements and vitamins along with my prescriptions. Since they aren’t covered by insurance, they add a lot of cost to my budget. That is why, once I finish these OmegaNeeds® Omega-3 Fatty Acids Antarctic Krill and Fish Oil Blend capsules, I won’t be able to continue using them. $50 per month for fish oil, even with the added krill, is just too much for me. I am enjoying taking them as they seem to be working well and have no aftertaste. They are a bit large, but all fish oil capsules are large. Were it not for the cost, I would certainly buy them, but the cost is just too high. I do recommend them if you can afford them.

Really Expensive
I am immediately turned off by the price. The suggested daily intake is two pills so the bottle would last a month. I would not be able to afford to take this vitamin at this daily cost. The pills were easy enough to swallow and the after taste is not noticeable. There’s not a lot of information on the bottle.

Expensive fish+krill oil mix with below average omega-3s amounts
The manufacturer and the origin of the fish oil [FO] and krill oil [KO] are not identified. The finished OEM product is sourced by the nutraceutical labeller Neuro Needs LLC (CT), and sold through its subsidiary storefront operated by Slingmind, Inc. (Ontario), a Canadian marketer in business as a “brand retailer partner for Amazon” who buys products from distributors, offers them on Amazon, and creates marketing campaigns. Despite what the storefront’s webpage says, it has only been active in the US-Amazon platform since 2022, only accumulating 3 positive customer feedback ratings.FORMULATION — At the time of this writing, this item blends FO and KO in unspecified proportions, so the KO impact in this product is unclear. A rough estimation, however, is possible. Modern Antarctic krill fishery is focused on (austral) autumn and winter, since the KO lipid content trends upward from ~20% in early summer to a ~30% peak at the end of autumn (following phytoplankton abundance). Several analytical studies have found that, by and large, KO lipids can be roughly divided in ~1/3 phospholipids [PPLs], ~2/3 non-PPLs, and a tiny fraction of triglycerides. The omega-3s, overwhelmingly bound to the PPLs, are around 20% of the oil. Given that sourced FO, primarily composed of glycerides, typically contains not more than 1.5% of PPLs, it seems reasonable to estimate the KO component of this product by applying the above proportions to the values in its label. Doing that yields 340 mg of total KO per *single* capsule (based on 113 mg PPLs being 33% of total KO), and 68 mg/capsule of KO’s total omega-3s (based on a 20% of total KO). The estimated values yield a ratio of approximately 6:1 for FO’s total omega-3s (460-68=392 mg) to KO’s total omega-3s (68 mg), which presumably reflects the FO:KO blend proportions.Because different KO extracting methods influence its quality and the individual yield of components, such a ratio is only a rough estimate. Nonetheless, it is consistent with the large price difference between sourced commercial FO and KO. Further, to judge from the amount of astaxanthin, my estimates are not off the mark. The yield of astaxanthin, a minor component of KO, is very sensitive to the KO extraction method, ranging from 0.008%, when using ethanol, to 0.09%, when using subcritical butane (the PPLs have the opposite behaviour), so there is manufacturer variation — using my estimated 340 mg of total KO, the 0.15 mg/capsule of astaxanthin in this product represents 0.04%, putting it at the middle of that range.PRICING — Marine oil is not inexpensive, and an informed method of brand comparison is useful for any long-term daily supplementation. The brands have a wide price range, and the different amounts of omega-3s, serving size doses, and capsules per bottle make price comparisons rather difficult. My attached figure is a table with price parameters of the only six FO + KO brands on Amazon that, at the time of this writing, provide their ingredients (anonymized as brands “A” through “F” in the table); blue font values are averages of their parameters. The Neuro Needs parameters are in red font at the right-most column. This product is the *most expensive* in terms of its price per bottle, per capsule, and per day metrics, and the second most expensive in price per mg of EPA+DHA per capsule, in spite of providing *below-average* amounts of EPA+DHA and of astaxanthin. This oil is not a good deal at all; there are less expensive brands with higher amounts of active ingredients than this one that last longer.DOSAGE — All serving suggestions are arbitrary as omega-3s Daily Values have not been established in the US. The European Food Safety Authority considers long-term dietary supplementations with EPA and DHA to be safe at a combined dose of up to about 5 g/day. Similarly, the FDA has concluded that supplements providing no more than 5 g/day of EPA and DHA are safe when used as recommended. This product has a rather low amount of astaxanthin, which is very unlike to provide the therapeutical results obtained with 20x to 80x its dose. Also, astaxanthin is part of the carotenoids family –organic pigments from plants, algae, bacteria, or fungi– whose intestinal absorption is poorly understood, and has been found to vary considerably : some people are able to absorb only about 5%, while others as much as 90%.SIDE EFFECTS — The most commonly reported side effects of omega-3 supplements are usually mild; they include unpleasant taste, bad breath, gastrointestinal discomfort, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, and smelly sweat, and seem the more common the smaller is the omega-3s/fish-oil ratio (at the present time, the total oil is not given, so this ratio is unspecified). Of course, those with known seafood allergy should avoid taking this product.–

GREAT OIL BLEND
I have taken fish oil and krill oil supplements separately for a of couple years, due to several health issues. I’ve never taken a combined capsule. These are nice to have it all in one. They are rather large capsules, but go down easily. There are 60 capsules, and the dosage is 2 a day. That’s a bit pricey for a 1 month supply. This seems to be a clean blend, and I’m excited about the prospect of improving my brain function. At 64, you can’t put a price on that!! Time will tell on that one.
