The Norwegian Krill Company - the krill specialist. Krill oil, a better source of omega -3 Krill oil supplementation is a highly beneficial way to acquire these vital nutrients. Not only is it a rich source of EFA components, but it's also purer and more tolerable than marine alternatives. Krill (Euphausia Superba) are small crustaceans that resemble shrimp, and are the most abundant biomass in the sea. Krill are found in all oceans of the world and in abundance in the Antarctic Ocean. They are a key species in the Antarctic ecosystem and feed directly on the phytoplankton (algae), which is a source of oil and protein. Antarctic krill is a rich source of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs); particularly in two forms of omega-3 that are necessary for all known life: the aforementioned eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA). With krill oil supplements these are delivered to the body in the desirable phospholipid form. Phospholipids are key components in cell membranes that are responsible for cellular transport and cell recognition.
