Real Krill
Doctor's Best delivers 350 mg of premium Superba™ 2 krill oil, sustainably harvested from the pristine, icy waters of the Antarctic. Krill oil is a rich natural source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, but unlike regular fish oil, krill's omega-3s come attached to phospholipids, a form the body finds easier to absorb and put to use. This little softgel also delivers a natural dose of astaxanthin - the same antioxidant carotenoid that gives krill oil its distinctive rosy hue.
- A rich natural source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) optimally absorbed by the body
- Nutritional support for cardiovascular and brain health and helps maintain healthy cell membranes
- Contains naturally occurring astaxanthin, choline and vitamin A
- Sustainably harvested Antarctic krill via Superba™ 2
- Non-GMO and gluten-free What makes krill oil different from fish oil?
Fish oil and krill oil both deliver EPA and DHA — the two long-chain essential omega-3 fatty acids our bodies find so useful. But the way each one packages those omega-3s is different which has an impact on how its absorbed by the body. In fish oil, omega-3s are attached to triglycerides. In krill oil, they're attached to phospholipids - the same building blocks that make up our own cell membranes. This structural similarity to our own cell membranes means the body can incorporate krill's omega-3s directly into cells with less processing along the way, which supports better absorption. A trio of natural nutrients
isn't just an omega-3 source, it’s a wholefood that delivers a naturally occurring blend of complementary nutrients:
- Phospholipids — the building blocks of every cell membrane in your body
- Astaxanthin — a naturally occurring carotenoid antioxidant (also gives krill oil its beautiful red colour)
- Choline — a powerful brain supporting nutrient the body needs but often doesn't get enough of from diet alone Sustainably sourced from the Antarctic
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is one of the most abundant species on the planet - and thanks to strict international harvest quotas set by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), it's also one of the most carefully managed marine resources in the world. Superba™ 2 krill oil is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), with only a tiny fraction of the total krill population harvested each year, leaving plenty for the whales, penguins and seals that depend on this remarkable little crustacean. Who might benefit from krill oil?
This formula is an ideal daily choice for:
- Adults wanting to support cardiovascular and heart health
- Anyone looking to nourish brain function, mental function and neurological wellbeing
- People whose diet is low in oily fish
- Adults seeking a smaller, more absorbable omega-3 alternative to fish oil
- Those looking for the added antioxidant benefit of natural astaxanthin Ingredients
