Frequently asked questions

What makes krill oil different from fish oil?
Krill oil delivers its EPA and DHA omega-3s bound to phospholipids rather than as triglycerides, a form that has demonstrated exceptionally high bioavailability.* It also naturally contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant, and tends to cause less fishy repeat than standard fish oil.*

What is astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid in krill that acts as a powerful free-radical scavenger and immune-supporting antioxidant.* It also gives krill oil its characteristic red color and helps protect the delicate omega-3 oils.*

Is krill sustainable and clean?
NOW® uses pure NKO® krill oil that is sustainably harvested (Friend of the Sea certified). This fish oil concentrate is manufactured under strict quality-control standards and tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals.
