Common questions

Is Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil healthy?

Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil scores 42/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Sports Research Krill Oil. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil?

Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil lists 7 ingredients, starting with Gelatin, Vegetable Glycerin, Purified Water, Krill Oil and Docosahexaenoic Acid (Dha). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil?

Sports Research Omega-3 Krill Oil has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
