Superba Krill™ oil comes from the Antarctic krill species Euphausia Superba. Krill are small shrimp-like crustaceans packed full of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin.
About the same size as an average paper clip, krill spend most of their life feeding on microscopic algae and play a key role in the oceans ecosystem, being an integral part of the survival of many marine species.
Living in the pristine and unpolluted waters of the Southern Ocean means Antarctic krill are virtually free of environmental contaminants and toxins.
The sustainability of the krill fishery and the Antarctic eco-system is our top priority to ensure minimal impact on the marine species who live there.
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA
These essential fatty acids are one of the most researched nutrients.
Phospholipids
One of the fundamental advantages of krill oil is that its omega-3s are mainly bound to phospholipids, whereas fish oils are bound to triglycerides. This important distinction has different implications for the absorption, function and health effects of the omega-3s that you consume. Consequently, it allows for a wider range of messaging opportunities to target different areas.
Powered by these phospholipids, Superba Krill ensures that omega-3s EPA & DHA are delivered to parts of the body that need them the most.
Choline
Choline is an essential nutrient. Our body can’t make enough, therefore we must obtain it from our diet.
Astaxanthin
This natural antioxidant gives krill oil its beautiful red color. It also protects the oil from oxidation, eliminating the need to add preservatives.
Krill oil’s phospholipid bound omega-3s mix well with stomach contents, preventing fishy aftertaste and other unpleasant digestive issues.
