What is krill oil? - Your best source of omega-3

What is Krill Oil?

Krill oil is the purest and most potent source of Omega-3 on the market, making it an increasingly popular alternative to fish oil.

Krill oil is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which are essential fats that support healthy heart, brain, and vision functions. Additionally, krill oil naturally contains high levels of choline, antioxidants, and phospholipids, offering a range of health benefits not found in standard fish oil.

Since krill represent the largest biomass on Earth and their harvesting is strictly regulated to prevent stock depletion, krill oil is also a sustainable source of omega-3 that you can consume with a clear conscience.

Where does krill oil come from?

Krill oil is derived from krill, which thrive in the cold, pure waters around Antarctica. Krill are small, shrimp-like crustaceans, also known as marine invertebrates or light shrimps. Their ability to stay soft and fluid at the lowest temperatures allows them to survive in the icy waters, surrounded by ice floes.

Krill cell membranes contain large amounts of the unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, enabling them to thrive in Antarctic conditions. Krill are at the bottom of the food chain, feeding on microscopic algae, which is also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Krill live at great ocean depths, moving in vast swarms through Antarctic waters.

Krill exist in enormous schools, with a combined biomass of over 500 million tons, more than the total biomass of humans on Earth.

Why is krill oil a sustainable source of omega-3?

Krill are only harvested in a limited area in Antarctica known as Area 48. Within this area, the CAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) has set a catch quota of 1% of the total biomass.

However, the annual catch is only about 0.3%, indicating that krill fishing around Antarctica is extremely sustainable, as it does not impact the krill population. In comparison, many other fisheries are considered sustainable with a catch quota of 10%.

The krill catch is also closely monitored by international environmental organizations to ensure sustainability and minimize environmental impact, allowing you to consume your omega-3 supplement from krill oil with peace of mind.

Note that a daily supplement of 5 g of combined EPA and DHA should not be exceeded.

Natural content of Astaxanthin & Choline

AntarcticRed Krill oil also contains the highest content of nature's strongest antioxidant, astaxanthin, which helps to keep the krill oil stable, and choline, which contributes to:

  • a normal lipid metabolism
  • a normal liver function

Did you know that AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil is absorbed 5 times better by your body than fish oil?

Omega-3 with phospholipids

The omega-3 fatty acids in AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil consist of phospholipids, a unique form found only in krill.

What makes omega-3 phospholipids so unique is that phospholipids are the form of fatty acid that the body's cells naturally use. This means that the important omega-3 fatty acids can be immediately utilized by your body's cells where they are needed.

On the other hand, the form of fatty acids in regular fish oil consists of triglycerides, which the body's cells cannot directly absorb. This means that the important omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil must first be converted from triglycerides to phospholipids in the liver, a process where about 80% of the important omega-3 fatty acids are lost, and only 20% reach the body's cells.

6 clear advantages with AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil

Buy krill oil and achieve even more and better benefits than with fish oil, or with plant-based omega-3. Krill oil is your most potent source of omega-3.

Fler fördelar med AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krillolja Fler fördelar med AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krillolja

1. Better Absorption with Krill Oil

Fish oil is in the form of omega-3 fatty acids named triglycerides, which must first be converted in the liver. The conversion takes place in the liver with a ratio of 5:1. In other words, 80% of the fish oil is not absorbed.

The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are in a unique form of phospholipids. They are identical to the fatty acids that the body's cells naturally use, and are absorbed in the stomach with a ratio of 1:1.

2. A better omega-3 source

AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil contains the highest values of the important DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids compared to other krill oils.

When comparing with the actual absorption that can be achieved by ingesting regular fish oil, AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil is also more potent.

3. Protected by antioxidants

AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil has a natural content of Astaxanthin (natural antioxidant), which not only keeps the product stable but also gives the product a longer shelf life.

In fact, our krill oil can last at least two years at room temperature. Do not use the refrigerator.

4. Free from pollution

Krill live in the world's cleanest sea around Antarctica and naturally live at the bottom of the food chain, where they feed on plankton (a plant).

This means that there is no accumulation of heavy metals and other environmental toxins, as is the case with predatory fish that eat other fish.

5. Easier to swallow

Our capsules are about 50% smaller than capsules with fish oil, but this does not mean that you get less of the important omega-3 fatty acids.

On the contrary, our AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil is actually more potent, while being easier for you to swallow.

6. No fishy aftertaste

Most people who take fish oil can experience fishy burps.

Since AntarcticRed Omega-3 Krill Oil mixes and is absorbed faster in the stomach, you simply avoid fishy burps with our krill oil.

Are there any side effects of krill oil?

Krill oil does not have any side effects as a starting point and is therefore a very safe dietary supplement to take, but there are some specific conditions to be aware of:

  • Blood-thinning effect: Krill oil has a natural blood-thinning effect, which should be noted if taking very high doses or if on blood-thinning medication such as warfarin. Likewise, krill oil should be avoided before surgery.
  • Interaction with high blood pressure medication: Krill oil can potentially affect high blood pressure, so this should be considered if under medical treatment.
  • Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to krill oil if they are allergic to fish or shellfish.
    If you are taking medication, it is always best to consult with a doctor before starting a new supplement like krill oil.

Krill oil or fish oil - which is best?

Both krill oil and fish oil contain the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, and are good sources if you do not get enough omega-3 or wish to supplement your intake. However, krill oil in particular differs from fish oil in several ways.

Krill oil contains omega-3 fatty acids bound in phospholipids, making them easier for the body to absorb compared to the triglyceride-bound omega-3s in fish oil. This can improve the bioavailability and effectiveness of omega-3.

Furthermore, krill oil naturally contains the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin, which protects the fatty acids from oxidizing and supports overall health, as well as choline, which helps maintain the liver.

These properties make krill oil an excellent choice for those seeking the maximum health benefits of omega-3.
