Kirkland Signature Krill Oil 500 mg., 160 Softgels

Antarctic krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures that thrive in the ocean’s pristine and extreme conditions. Nutrition-wise, they are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and antioxidants. The typical North American diet is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, so supplements provide the simplest, most consistent source of these essential fatty acids.

Krill oil is unique because it contains phospholipid-bound omega-3s making it easier to absorb and more bioavailable than triglyceride-bound omega-3s found in fish oil.^1†‡ Phospholipids are a class of fats that are the essential building blocks of all cell membranes – and they have a simpler digestive process than other forms of fatty acids. Because of their superior absorption, you only need one small softgel per day to get the same benefits as the regular fish oil dosage.

Krill oil is recognized for its deep red-orange pigment from the naturally occurring carotenoid called astaxanthin.
