Krill Oil Gold

Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans that live in large schools. Although they are small, krill form a large part of the base of the aquatic food chain, providing important nutrients to fish, squid, penguins, and whales. Euphausia superba is the species of krill found in Antarctic waters and is a rich source of phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are absorbed and carried to the body’s cells in phospholipid form. Because phospholipids serve as the structural basis of cell membranes, omega-3 fatty acids in phospholipid form are easily recognized, absorbed, and utilized by the body. Krill oil is more sustainable and 2.5 times more bioavailable than fish oil. Because it requires a lower dosage than fish oil and contains naturally-occuring astaxantin, krill oil is also a much better value than fish oil.
