Krill Oil

Krill oil provides omega 3 fatty acids in a phospholipid bound form, which research suggests may be more readily absorbed by cells than the triglyceride or ethyl ester forms found in standard fish oil. This means the body can utilise a higher proportion of the EPA and DHA delivered in each capsule.

Each capsule provides 500mg of krill oil from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), delivering 68mg EPA and 30mg DHA alongside 225mg of phospholipids. It also contains naturally occurring choline (25mg), which supports brain function and liver health, and astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid antioxidant that gives krill oil its distinctive red colour and protects it from oxidation.

Krill oil is best suited for general omega 3 maintenance rather than high dose therapeutic use. Its EPA and DHA content per capsule is lower than concentrated fish oil, so if your practitioner has recommended a higher therapeutic dose (2 to 4g EPA+DHA), standard fish oil may be more practical.

This product contains crustacean (krill) and fish (gelatin capsule). It is not suitable for those with shellfish or fish allergies.

Take 2 to 3 capsules once per day, 20 to 30 minutes before a meal.

Taking krill oil shortly before eating allows the phospholipid bound omega 3 to mix with dietary fat in the stomach, supporting absorption. At 2 capsules per day, this provides 136mg EPA and 60mg DHA for general maintenance. At 3 capsules, 204mg EPA and 90mg DHA.
