A UNIQUE DIETARY SUPPLEMENT Next generation krill oil supplements from the pristine waters of Antarctica, brought to you by the world's leading supplier of Superba Krill Norway

 

What is Superba Krill Oil? 

Superba Krill™ oil is extracted from the Antarctic krill species Euphausia Superba. Krill are small shrimp-like crustaceans packed full of health promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin.

 

What makes Superba Krill unique ? 

Superba Krill oil's natural combination and concentration of four key nutrients gives excellent opportunity for differentiation in the supplement market.

 

A growing body of evidence demonstrates krill oil's beneficial effects on health across multiple categories

• OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS,EPA & DHA These essential fatty acids are one of the most researched nutrients, with a wide range of health benefits for your heart, eyes, liver and brain.

 

• PHOSPHOLIPIDS... help omega-3s integrate into the cell membranes and may be a better delivery form to the body’s organs than other marine oils.

 

• Choline ... is an essential nutrient vital for many body functions such as nerve signaling, liver and muscle functioning. 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.

 

 

THE PHOSPHOLIPID FACTOR

Improved user experience

meeting consumer needs

EASY TO SWALLOW

Phospholipids make krill oil’s omega-3s more bio-efficient and stable. This allows for smaller capsules when used in supplements.

NO FISHY AFTERTASTE

Krill oil’s phospholipid bound omega-3s mix well with stomach contents, preventing fishy aftertaste and other unpleasant digestive issues.

BIOEFFICIENCY

Phospholipid bound omega-3s are better utilized by our body's cells, and efficiently incorporated into the cell membranes.

 

THE BIG DIFFERENCE

The health benefits of krill

 

Joints

Omega-3s play an important role in regulating inflammation in the body, which can have a crucial impact in protecting our joints throughout life.

Heart

Krill oil has shown to have beneficial effects related to heart health, such as lowering fasting triglyceride levels which are a risk factor for heart disease.

Brain

Phospholipids assist in the transportation of omega-3 DHA across the blood brain barrier.

Liver

Choline and omega-3s are important for maintaining healthy liver function and aid in the proper metabolism of fat.

Skin

Omega-3s play a role in modulating the hydration and elasticity of the skin.

Eyes

Omega-3s are especially important to help keep your eyes healthy, with the highest concentration of DHA in the body found in the retina.

 

5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Krill

Krill are fascinating. You might have already heard of them? They are high in omega-3, which is an important nutrient for heart health amongst many others. What’s more, krill oil naturally contains phospholipids, astaxanthin and the vitamin choline.

 

However, you probably already know that and what we’re here for, is what you didn’t know about krill.  

There are 85 different species in all the oceans around the world, but 6 of these live in the Antarctic ocean. Actually, the largest krill species, Euphasia Superba, is the one that is harvested due to its size and the fact that they flock together in large schools called swarms, in the Southern Ocean.

Whether you are a krill oil fanatic or just recently been introduced to these tiny shrimp-like creatures, take a look at our list of interesting things about the secret life of krill.

1)  Krill can be seen from space!!

Even though they are no bigger in size than the average paper clip, Antarctic krill can be seen from space! The enormous swarms which congregate in the Southern Ocean are so dense they have been viewed high up above our earth's atmosphere. When close to the water’s surface, they even give the ocean’s surface a pink-ish red hue.

2)  Krill grow and shrink throughout their life

As krill go through their lifecycle, they undergo periods of intense feeding and starvation depending on the season and availability of food. This phenomenon happens several times throughout their lifetime therefore they continuously grow and shrink in size.

To accommodate this drastic change in size krill shed their shell every 13-20 days to make room for their extra bodies, or to fit into their smaller suits!

One implication of this strange behaviour is it is impossible to tell the age of a krill by the size of its body.

3) How do you measure the age of a krill??

If you have ever seen a krill, even far away, you cannot help but notice their big, black, round beady eyes. It is actually here in the eyes where the secret of their age lies. Their eyes do not follow the same patterns of growth and shrinkage as their bodies, therefore the older the krill, the larger their eyes.

To actually measure the exact age of a krill, it is possible to count the number of rings on the eyestalk, which gives an approximation of the amount of years the krill has lived, much like counting the rings of a tree.

4) Krill dive deep to reproduce and rise to eat

Krill are small shrimp-like crustaceans, with an average size of about 3.5cm in length – about the size of an ordinary paperclip – although they can reach lengths of double that size up to 6cm.

To reproduce, krill dive deep down to depths of 3000 metres to lay their eggs directly in open water. Female krill can lay upto 10,000 eggs per day! The larvae hatch and rise slowly towards the surface and on the way they develop, mature into adult krill. Krill dive and rise on a regular basis and spend much of their time near the surface feeding and stocking up.

5) There’s no fishy aftertaste with a krill oil omega-3 supplement

With many marine omega-3 supplements, the omega-3s are bound to triglycerides which makes the oil sit on top of the stomach, causing digestive discomfort and fishy burps.

Krill contain phospholipid-bound omega-3s. These phospholipids actually allow krill oil to mix well with the food and juices in the stomach, so you do not get discomfort when using a krill oil omega-3 supplement.
