Pure Krill Oil: Superior Omega-3

Ultra Red Krill Oil offers a superior source of Omega-3 with many important additional benefits, designed to meet the highest standards of quality, purity and effectiveness.

Ultra Red Krill Oil provides 500mg of pure Krill oil, a special source of Omega-3 with a high concentration of marine phospholipids so may be better utilised in the body than standard Omega-3 found in fish oil. Ultra Red Krill Oil provides essential fatty acids for the normal function of the heart, brain and vision all within an easier to swallow smaller capsule with no unpleasant fishy odour, taste or aftertaste.

As well as Omega-9 fatty acids, Ultra Red Krill provides Omega-3, a rich source of the essential fatty acids DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid).

EPA and DHA are classed as essential fatty acids because they cannot be made efficiently by the body and must be obtained through the diet.

- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and brain function

- DHA and EPA contribute to the normal function of the heart

Important: Ultra Red Krill contains only pure Krill oil, rather than Krill oil combined with ordinary fish oil as found in some products.

With naturally present Marine Phospholipids

The Omega-3 in Ultra Red Krill Oil has been shown to have the same benefits as fish oil Omega-3 which supports normal heart and brain function, but with better efficiency due to the presence of phospholipids.

Research indicates that phospholipid bound Omega-3 fatty acids may have greater bioavailability for cell growth and functioning, compared with Omega-3 triglycerides³. Ultra Red Krill Oil takes the Omega-3 phospholipid form, rather than the Omega-3 triglyceride form found in fish and cod liver oils.

Phospholipids are key structural components of our cell membranes, which are involved in the transport of molecules across the cell membrane. Ultra Red Krill Oil provides Omega-3 in phospholipid form, mainly as phosphatidylcholine, which means it is more easily transported across cell membranes to where it is utilised.

Omega-3 phospholipids follow simpler digestion and distribution routes in the human body. Simpler digestion in the small intestine before absorption is one of the possible reasons for the greater uptake of Omega-3 phospholipids in the human body compared with standard Omega-3 triglycerides.

Ultra Red Krill Oil and the environment

Ultra Red Krill Oil is a pure, natural source of Omega-3 providing EPA and DHA as well as Astaxanthin. Harvested in the Antarctic, Krill Oil is pollutant free, with presence of natural Astaxanthin giving the oil a deep red colour.

The presence of Astaxanthin also helps to keep Krill oil stable without the need of additives, protecting the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids from becoming rancid due to oxidisation. Consumers can feel assured that they are choosing the highest quality form of Omega-3.

Ultra Red Krill Oil is sourced by Aker BioMarine who co-operate closely with WWF-Norway (World Wide Fund for Nature) to support work on sustainable Krill management.

In June 2010, Aker BioMarine's krill fishing operations received MSC certification as a sustainable fishery, making Aker the first MSC-certified krill fishery in the world.

Proprietary Eco-Harvesting technology uses a specially designed trawl system that singles out unwanted "by-catch" and releases it unharmed. Eco-Harvesting restricts environmental impact and prevents enzymatic degradation of the Krill oil, allowing for greater preservation of all key nutrients in the end products, and provides for complete utilization of the product without waste.
