First up: Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega-D3

NN gives the following per serving:
EPA 650mg
DHA 450mg
Vitamin D 1,000 IU
Cost per serving $0.82
Thatโs a decent amount of omega 3, but the vitamin D is way too low. Unless you are out in the sun all day, I recommend people take at least 5,000 IU of vit D.

We know from my previous thread that studies show that you need a lot less of the omega 3โs in krill oil to achieve the same or better results as fish oil (~65% less), because the phospholipids in krill make it infinitely more bioavailable.
Total cost per serving: $0.43
For half the cost of Nordic Naturals, we are taking a more bioavailable form of Omega 3โs w/ an added boost from the antioxidant astaxanthin, plus a high quality vit D supplement in a quantity that will actually have a positive effect on our health.

If you need a refresher on why you should be taking krill oil instead of fish oil, check out this thread:
Supplements donโt have to be complicated, and they donโt have to be expensive. Itโs all about optimizing your intake and getting the best results.
