SuperbaBoost Krill Oil is rich in long chain omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin to support your body with the most powerful Omega-3 formulation available.
Superba Krill oil is extracted exclusively from Euphausia superba, an Antarctic krill species rich in the long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). A species of zooplankton invertebrates, krill move in huge swarms throughout pure Antarctic waters and feed on microscopic algae, which is what provides the diet with such a robust source of omega-3s.
Algae is also rich in astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant that gives Superba its distinctive red color and, more importantly, acts as a natural preservative to its omega-3 fatty acids. Recognized for its health-promoting suppression of free radicals, astaxanthin keeps Superba Krill fresh, protecting the omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation, which means no additives are necessary to maintain its long-term stability.
Superba Krill’s long chain omega-3s are better recognized by the body because they are mostly attached to phospholipids, resulting in higher cellular incorporation. Powered by these phospholipids, Superba Krill ensures the delivery of the key fatty acids EPA and DHA to various parts of the human body, such as the brain, heart, eyes, and joints.

Oceanutra uses SuperbaBoost krill oil from Aker Biomarine and is extracted exclusively from Euphausia superba, an Antarctic krill species rich in the long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).A species of zooplankton invertebrates, krill move in huge swarms throughout pure Antarctic waters and feed on microscopic algae, which is what provides the diet with such a robust source of omega-3s.
Krill oil and fish oil both contain omega-3 fatty acids, but krill oil is considered by some to be a more potent and sustainable source. Krill oil contains a unique combination of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, as well as phospholipids, astaxanthin, and other important nutrients. These phospholipids are more easily absorbed by the body than the triglycerides found in fish oil, allowing for greater bioavailability of the omega-3s. Additionally, krill oil is less prone to oxidation than fish oil, reducing the risk of rancidity and potential health risks associated with consuming oxidized oils.
Antarctic krill oil is a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids, but it is important to ensure its sustainability through responsible fishing practices and regulations. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is the governing body responsible for managing fisheries in the Southern Ocean, including the Antarctic krill fishery. The CCAMLR sets catch limits and monitors fishing activity to ensure that it remains within sustainable levels. By choosing krill oil that is sustainably sourced and certified, consumers can support responsible fishing practices and help protect the delicate balance of the Antarctic ecosystem.

Phospholipids in krill oil deliver omega-3 and choline to the parts of the body that need them the most, like the brain, heart, eyes and liver.
In krill oil, the majority of the omega-3 fatty acids are bound to a particular type of fat called a phospholipid, whereas in other marine oils these omega-3 fatty acids are bound to other forms of fat such as triglycerides. While triglycerides consist of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol backbone, phospholipids have two fatty acids and instead of the third fatty acid a phosphorus group is linked to a head group, such as choline.
Due to this arrangement of a hydrophilic (water-loving) head group and hydrophobic(water-hating) fatty acid tails, phospholipids have the ability to mix with water and form two parallel layers. This bilayer is formed in such a way that the hydrophilic heads are on the outer side, while the hydrophobic tails are in the inside.
Krill Oil is water soluble and does not cause fishy burps or aftertaste.
This phospholipid bilayer formation is the basis for all life since it forms cell membranes common to all animals. Thus, if the omega-3 fatty acids are given in phospholipid form, they can readily be integrated into cell membranes. There they regulate membrane fluidity, which is important for the correct functioning of membrane proteins and the transmission of signals over the membrane. Omega-3fatty acids can also be released from the cell membrane into the cell, where they influence which proteins are made and, ultimately, specific cellular functions.

Here are some of the most popular questions we get asked about our 100% Krill Oil. Please do not hesitate to call or email us if you don’t see your question below.
Studies have indicated that regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can help to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve joint mobility, and protect against age-related mental decline, such as Alzheimer's disease. In addition, omega-3fatty acids may also play a role in reducing the risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. The recommended daily intake of omega-3fatty acids varies, but most health organizations recommend eating at least two servings of fatty fish per week, or taking a daily omega-3 supplement, to receive the full range of benefits.
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in krill and fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as in supplements like fish oil. EPA is important for human health because it has been linked to various benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and supporting brain function. EPA is converted into other compounds in the body, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which help regulate inflammation and other processes in the body. EPA is also believed to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, and may play a role in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Docosahexaenoicacid (DHA) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that is important for brain and eye development and function. It is commonly found in Krill, fatty fish and algae.DHA makes up a significant proportion of the fatty acids in the brain and retina and is believed to play a role in maintaining their structure and function. DHA has also been associated with various health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and supporting brain function throughout life.
Phospholipids are important to the body because they are a key component of cell membranes, allowing for selective permeability and the transportation of nutrients and waste in and out of cells. They also play a role in cell signaling and are involved in the formation of lipoproteins, which transport lipids in the bloodstream. Additionally, some phospholipids, such as choline, are precursors to important neurotransmitters and have other important physiological functions in the body, such as in liver function and lipid metabolism.
Choline is important to the body for several reasons. Firstly, it is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a critical role in memory, mood, and muscle control. Secondly, choline is essential for the structural integrity and signaling functions of cell membranes, as it is a major component of phospholipids. Additionally, choline is involved in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol, helping to transport fats out of the liver and preventing the buildup of fat in the liver. Finally, choline has been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, dementia, and certain types of cancer.
In clinical studies, krill oil is shown to be significantly more absorbable by our bodies, making it more effective at supporting heart, joint, and mental health. That’s because, unlike fish oil, krill omega-3s come in a unique phospholipid form.This increased absorbability makes krill omega-3s the best way to support balanced cholesterol, smooth, comfortable joints, and a clear, relaxed mind.
Toxic contaminants such as mercury and PCBs are known to accumulate in some of the larger fish used to create fish oil. These heavy metals can cause serious health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. On the other hand, krill are too low on the food chain to accumulate toxic heavy metals, making them safe to consume.
Pure Krill Oil like Oceanutra has a host of health benefits including the ability to help fight bad cholesterol, relieve joint discomfort, promote clearer thinking, reduce anxiety and support clear vision.
Yes, it is 6,000 times more powerful than Vitamin C. This super powerful antioxidant isn't available in fish oil, but it's found in lobster, crayfish and krill. Astaxanthin boosts skin health and has been shown to increase good cholesterol levels. Antioxidants are our most effective weapon against the cell-damaging free radicals that cause oxidation and inflammation throughout our bodies. Free radicals literally accelerate the aging process. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, which means it has the remarkable ability to actually integrate itself into every cell, tissue and organ in your body where it can neutralize health-robbing free radicals.
