Krill oil is extracted
from Antarctic 'krill', small crustaceans that inhibit the pristine, cold Antarctic waters. Krill
oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, in particular the
well-known fatty acids EPA and DHA. In krill oil most fatty acids
are bound as phospholipids, which offers huge advantages compared to
fish oil.

WHY KRILL OIL? The positive effects
of krill oil (as superior source of omega-3
fatty acids) are too many to mention, but can be summarized as
follows:
- Supports mental and
behavioral health
- Supports health joints and
muscles
- Supports health blood
circulation
- Supports healthy skin
- Supports healthy respiration
WHY
IS
KRILL OIL SUPERIOR TO FISH OIL?
Important fatty acids such as EPA and DHA
are also found in fish oil, but there is a major difference. Omega-3
fatty acids in fish oil are bound as triglycerids, whereas in krill
oil omega-3 fatty acids are mainly bound as phospholipids.
These phospholipids make
krill oil superior to fish oil, as source of omega-3
fatty acids:
BETTER STABILITY
Phospholipid are far more stable than triglycerids, making krill oil a stable
oil whereas fish oil easily oxidates and gets rancid (and even toxic). Krill Oil
has another enormous advantage: it contains natural astaxanthin, the most
powerful antioxidant known (300x as strong as vitamin E). Astaxantin does not
only preserve krill oil into a stable oil, it also brings numerous health
benefits for the body, a present from nature.
HIGHER BIOAVAILABILITY
Before fatty acids can be absorbed by the body, they need to be transformed into
in phospholipid by the liver. This happens with all fatty acids, including those
in fish oil. However, the fatty acids in krill oil already are bound as phospholipids,
which is the physiologically correct form that your body can immediately absorb and use.
A study that compared the
bioavailability of both oils showed, 60% more fish oil is needed to
gain the same EPA en DHA blood levels, compared to krill oil.
The importance of krill oil becomes
even more evident when realizing all cell membranes in the body are
built of two parallel chains of phospholipids, and for instance the
brains consist for 60% of fat - as phospholipids. Krill oil
offers these important phospholipids in the exact form the body can
use.
ORIGIN AND SUSTAINABILITY
Fish stocks are widely over fished and depleted. International trade in fish oil
makes the origin of most fish oil unknown.
Krill stock however is not over
fished, and the origin of krill is known in detal. Krill is freshly
harvested from pristine
Antarctic waters, and is fully controlled by the Commission for the
Conservation of the Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The fishery on
krill is eco-friendly and highly sustainable, using a newly
developed and patented fishing method that singles out and releases
unharmed any side-catch.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KRILL OIL AND
GREENLIPMUSSEL OIL? |
Often people ask us what the
difference is between krill oil and greenlipmussel oil: which
one is to be preferred?
The answer is: krill oil and
greenlipmussel oil differ substantially from each other, and
can best be taken together!
Krill oil must be
compared to fish oil: both are important sources of the omega-3
fatty acids EPA and DHA. However the fatty acids in krill
oil are bound as phospholipids, and krill is harvested using
an eco-friendly and sustainable fishery. This makes krill
oil a superior source of EPA and DHA, compared to fish oil.
Greenlipmussel oil
is in a league of its own: it contains a unique omega-3
fatty acid that is found nowhere else in the world, This
fatty acid gives greenlipmussle oil its extraordinary
biological properties, 200 to 250 times stronger than fish
oil.
Greenlipmussel oil is
extracted from cultured mussels and is much more expensive
than krill oil and fish oil. For this reason capsules
greenlipmussel oil (Aspitol) are small and contain a small
amount of oil, just enough to supply the amount of oil
needed for the desired biological effect.
However, the body also
needs sufficient amount of the important fatty acids
EPA and DHA. Krill oil is the preferred source of these
fatty acids. for this reason we recommend to use
greenlipmussel oil (Aspitol) and krill oil on a daily base
together.
Aspitol and krill oil have a
synergetic effect: they supply the body with important
omega-3 fatty acids that work in combination even better
that each of them separately.
