Superba™ krill oil: lipid extract from the crustacean Antarctic krill Euphausia superba.

The oil derived from Antarctic Krill contains special constituents, which are able to contribute to the general well-being.

What does krill oil contain?

The omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil are available as triglycerides, but can be found in the form of phospholipids in krill-oil. Studies indicate, that phospholipid fatty acids can be absorbed and distributed throughout the body better than triglycerides.
Krill oil consists primarily of a combination of various valuable ingredients: omega-3 fatty acids in the form of EPA und DHA, phospholipids and astaxanthin.

Phospholipids have special properties

Due to their water- and fat-solubility, they immediately mix with water and form a homogenous suspension, which can easily be resorbed by the body. For this reason, krill oil has a higher bioavailability than fish oil. The ability to mix with water also prevents eructation and a fishy aftertaste.
Furthermore, omega-3 phospholipids are transported in a differently in the bloody than omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil. Because phospholipids are a component of cell membranes, they are transported in the cell membranes of the blood fats directly to the cells of the organs, where they fulfil important tasks.

DHA and EPA

DHA and EPA phospholipids are crucial components of the human cell membranes, the nerve cell membranes in particular. The body also needs them to form so-called eicosanoids, which play a role in the blood coagulation and wound healing and which can have calming properties for the tissues.

Krill oil and astaxanthin

The naturally contained carotenoid astaxanthin in krill oil gives it its deep red colour and, as a natural antioxidant and stabiliser, protects the unsaturated fatty acids as against oxidation.

Eco Harvesting™: eco-friendly krill catch without unwanted bycatch of, for example, fish or seals

A defining property of the catching method of Aker BioMarine is that the ship remains in the Antarctic during the entire fishing season. Every three months, a trawler arrives to swap the crew, refuel the ship and collect the deep-frozen krill.
Another special attribute of Eco Harvesting™ is the following method: The specifically developed net remains under water the entire time and is connected to the ship through a pipe. The front end of the net in the water is closed with another net. Only krill is able to cross this barrier and no other fish is caught. At the end of the net, the krill is pumped immediately on board the ship, along with fresh water. This method ensures absolutely fresh raw material of the best product quality. It inhibits enzymatic degradation, which means all important nutrient remain in the final product.
