Our krill oil is extracted from the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, resulting in a powerful supplement which has essential cell membrane building blocks: highly unsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) bound to a phospholipid back bone.*

For human health purposes, the krill that live in the frigid waters of Antarctica (Euphasia superba) are the most important, because of their diet of antioxidant-rich plankton from sea ice, and the high content of fatty acids they contain. Except for the relatively small amounts of Antarctic krill that are caught, frozen and sent to Japan to be eaten as okiami, krill are caught and immediately processed into krill meal (mostly for fish farms) and oil.

Krill are an important food source, also, for all aquatic animals of the Antarctic – whales (any one of which can eat up to 7,000 tons of krill per day), seals, penguins and seabirds of all kinds.
