Krill oil is extracted from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). These tiny shrimp-like crustaceans exist in large swarms and are commonly found in the Southern Ocean.
Krill oil contains high quality omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3 fatty acids are to a large extent bound to phospholipids, which makes them particularly well usable for the human body. Krill oil owes its natural red colour to the astaxanthin, which belongs to a group of carotenoids.
Each capsule contains 500 mg of pure krill oil with 100 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, of which are 70 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 30 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It is evident, that a daily intake of at least 250 mg EPA and DHA contribute to a healthy normal heart function.
Krill oil is not just krill oil. Neptune Krill Oil NKO® (original krill oil from AKER BioMarine), obtained by a patented special cold extraction process, was the first to be officially authorised by the European Union as a food ingredient or for the manufacture of food supplements. NKO® differs considerably in its composition from other krill oils. All clinical efficacy studies are based on Neptune Krill Oil NKO®.
