Krillõli
Krill oil is a marine-sourced omega-3 supplement derived from small Antarctic crustaceans (Euphausia superba). Unlike standard fish oil, the EPA and DHA in krill oil are largely bound to phospholipids, a form that is well-absorbed by the body. Krill oil also naturally contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant that gives it its distinctive red colour. This category is ideal for anyone looking to support their omega-3 intake through a premium, sustainably harvested marine source.
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision — these are authorised EU health claims applicable when a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA is achieved. When choosing a krill oil supplement, look for products that clearly state their EPA and DHA content per serving, carry a recognised sustainability certification such as MSC, and are free from unnecessary additives. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended daily intake and consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to shellfish or seafood, or taking anticoagulant medication.
