HOW KRILL OMEGA 3 WORKS IN THE BODY
Krill delivers EPA and DHA partly bound to phospholipids, alongside naturally occurring choline and astaxanthin.
- Stage 1 - Digestion & Absorption
Phospholipids help carry EPA & DHA
- Krill oil contains omega 3 associated with phospholipids, a different lipid structure from conventional fish oil.
- EPA & DHA are released during digestion
- Phospholipids are readily dispersed in the digestive system
- Omega 3 enters circulation for transport throughout the body
- Stage 2 - Cellular Incorporation
EPA & DHA become part of cell membranes
- After absorption, EPA and DHA can be incorporated into phospholipids within cell membranes throughout the body.
- EPA and DHA levels increase with regular intake
- DHA is an important structural fatty acid in the brain and retina
- EPA participates in pathways involved in normal physiological function
- Stage 3 - Consistent Intake
Omega 3 status builds over time
- Regular intake helps maintain EPA and DHA levels rather than producing a one time effect.
- Supports maintenance of omega 3 status
- EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function*
- DHA contributes to normal brain function and vision*
Recommended Use: Take 2 softgels daily with food.
Omega 3, Carried Differently
In krill oil, EPA and DHA are naturally bound to phospholipids, the same class of lipids that form an essential part of our cell membranes.
This gives krill oil a fundamentally different structure from conventional fish oil, where omega 3 is predominantly carried as triglycerides.
Alongside EPA and DHA, krill naturally provides phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin within the oil.

More than omega 3. A naturally complex marine oil.
Krill naturally combines EPA and DHA with phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin in one distinctive marine complex.
-
ASTAXANTHIN
ASTAXANTHIN
Why it's essential
A naturally occurring carotenoid antioxidant that helps protect lipids from oxidation and contributes to the natural stability of krill oil.
Bioavailable form
Naturally present within krill oil alongside its omega 3 phospholipid complex.
-
EPA
EPA – Eicosapentaenoic Acid
Why it's essential
EPA is an essential long chain omega 3 fatty acid. Together with DHA, it contributes to the normal function of the heart.*
Bioavailable form
In krill oil, much of the omega 3 is associated with phospholipids, a structural component of cell membranes.
-
DHA
DHA – Docosahexaenoic Acid
Why it's essential
DHA is an important structural fatty acid in the body and contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.*
Bioavailable form
Delivered as part of krill oil's naturally occurring phospholipid complex.
-
CHOLINE
CHOLINE
Why it's essential
Choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism and the maintenance of normal liver function.*
Bioavailable form
Naturally present within krill's phospholipid complex.
Rigorous testing that sets a higher standard.
Every batch is tested for purity, potency and freshness, because what is not in your krill oil matters just as much as what is.
