Omega 3 (500mg): Antarctic Krill Oil
Antarctic krill oil ( Euphausia superba ) is a natural source of highly concentrated omega-3 oil, the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin, as well as high levels of phospholipids - a fundamental component of human cell membranes. It contains two types of Omega 3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid ( EPA ) and docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA ).
Krill oil is used for the same reasons as cod liver oil, linseed oil and other omega 3 fatty acids, but is often preferred because it does not cause fishy burps or aftertaste - a common side effect of fish oil.
The fact that it contains astaxanthin is also unique. The ultimate antioxidant - researchers have found that it may be more powerful than vitamin E, beta-carotene and lutein. It may also reinforce the action of other antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C.
Our krill oil is a high-strength formula ( 500 mg ), supplied in an easy-to-swallow marine gel capsule. It is sourced exclusively from sustainable Antarctic fisheries, through our partners Aker BioMarine™ who work with World Wildlife Foundation Norway to ensure sustainable harvesting of krill.
