ETERNAL KRILL OIL SOFTGEL contains high omega-3 fatty acids derived from krill oil, a tiny ocean creature that is similar to shrimp. It is found in the colder bodies of water in the world such as the Antarctic and North Pacific oceans. Our krill oil is supplied byNeptune Technologies Canada, the company which holds the patent on krill oil extraction. (US Patent 8,030,348).
Krill Oil vs Fish Oil
Krill oil has a much higher concentration of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) than fish oil does. This is important because omega-3's have been scientifically proven to help with a multitude of health issues like cardiovascular health and even mental and emotional development.
It also has an addition to EPA called Astaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant. This makes the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value of krill oil 48 times more potent than fish oil.
Krill oil has a phospholipid structure whereas fish oil has a triglyceride form. The body can absorb 95-98% of the nutrients in krill oil, while it can only get about 65% with fish oil. The phospholipid structure is what allows for better absorption of EPA and DHA.
Studies on Neptune krill oil have found it to have no toxicity, even when taken over the recommended dosage for long periods of time.
