Choosing a reliable and superior source of krill oil

-

No fishy aftertaste or burps

Due to its water- soluble nature, krill oil immediatel­y mixes with stomach fluids after intake, eliminatin­g the fishy aftertaste and fishy burps.

However, omega- 3s bound to triglyceri­des is insoluble in water, floating atop stomach fluids, causing the fishy aftertaste.

Contains the most powerful antioxidan­t ever known – astaxanthi­n

Krill oil contains the natural antioxidan­t astaxanthi­n, which not only protects the EPA and DHA from degradatio­n, but also provides valuable free radical protection for our body.

Astaxanthi­n comes from the microalgae krill feed on, giving krill and other animals that feed on the same algae such as salmon and lobster reddish- pink hues.

Free from contaminan­ts, purer than fish oil

Most fish oils are harvested from large fishes that are highly contaminat­ed with industrial pollutants and toxins.

Krill live in pristine waters free from environmen­tal pollutants and being at the bottom of the food chain, do not accumulate toxins like heavy metals and dioxins.

Sustainabl­e Eco- Harvesting Technology

The traditiona­l way of harvesting krill is the trawling method.

Chances of the net bringing in undesired by- catches of other marine species are high, rendering the method ecological­ly unfriendly.

On the other hand, small krill are killed by their own weight in the net and krill contain digestive enzymes in their bodies that rapidly self- destruct during stress, causing the krill oil to be useless thereafter.

With the invention of a new harvesting technology called Eco- Harvesting, unwanted by- catch could be avoided.

Eco- Harvesting uses a direct hose connection mechanism to bring the krill fresh and alive on board the ship. This technology is an environmen­tally responsibl­e choice that ensures the sustainabi­lity of krill and other marine species.

As the krill is processed freshly on board, enzymatic degradatio­n could be prevented and key nutrients could be preserved, ensuring production of hig- quality krill oil.

MSC- certified fishery

Eco- Harvesting has obtained the Marine Stewardshi­p Council ( MSC) certificat­ion that awards the handling of krill ( from harvesting to encapsulat­ion) and the certificat­ion guarantees sustainabi­lity and full traceabili­ty of the krill oil from sea to shelf.
