Doctor Life / 01

Antarctic Krill Omega-3

Made for your daily routine.

Krill oil has a different lipid profile from typical fish oil. Much of its omega-3 content is associated with phospholipids, the lipids that form cell membranes. It also provides phosphatidylcholine, choline, and astaxanthin alongside EPA and DHA.

We use krill harvested from the Southern Ocean around Antarctica and place the oil in a fish-gelatin capsule. The capsule makes daily use convenient and limits direct contact with krill oil's characteristic aroma. Each bottle contains 90 capsules, a 45-day supply at the recommended two capsules daily.

Why does the phospholipid form of omega-3 matter?

EPA and DHA occur in different lipid structures. In krill oil, a substantial proportion is associated with phospholipids, unlike many conventional fish oils that contain mainly triglycerides. Comparative studies have shown that krill oil can increase EPA and DHA levels and the omega-3 index. This formula retains the oil's phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine, choline, and astaxanthin.

What research informs Antarctic Krill Omega-3?

Human studies show that krill oil can raise EPA and DHA levels. Some comparisons with fish oil have reported increases in the omega-3 index despite lower EPA and DHA intakes, prompting interest in the phospholipid form. Other trials have examined triglycerides, lipoproteins, and oxidative markers. Results depend on the preparation and study conditions. Antarctic Krill Omega-3 provides EPA, DHA, phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine, choline, and astaxanthin.

Science & sources

Understand the formula.

A substantial proportion of the EPA and DHA in krill oil is bound to phospholipids. Clinical studies have examined this form in relation to blood omega-3 levels, the omega-3 index, triglycerides, and redox status. The findings provide context for krill oil as an alternative to traditional fish oils.

These publications concern the studied ingredients or formulas. They do not all evaluate the finished Doctor Life product, and research results do not guarantee individual outcomes.

01Enhanced increase of omega-3 index in healthy individuals with response to 4-week n-3 fatty acid supplementation from krill oil versus fish oil

Vanu R. Ramprasath, Inbal Eyal, Sigalit Zchut, Peter J. H. Jones

Lipids in Health and Disease (2013), 12, 178. DOI: 10.1186/1476-511X-12-178; PMID: 24304605.

A study compared four weeks of krill oil and fish oil supplementation. Krill oil increased EPA and DHA levels and improved the omega-3 index despite providing a smaller amount of omega-3 fatty acids. The findings provide context for the phospholipid form naturally present in krill.

02Metabolic effects of krill oil are essentially similar to those of fish oil but at lower dose of EPA and DHA, in healthy volunteers

Stine M. Ulven, Bente Kirkhus, Amandine Lamglait, Samar Basu, Elisabeth Elind, Trond Haider, Kjetil Berge, Hogne Vik, Jan I. Pedersen

Lipids (2011), 46(1), 37-46. DOI: 10.1007/s11745-010-3490-4; PMID: 21042875.

A randomized study in healthy volunteers found comparable changes in EPA and DHA levels after krill oil and fish oil supplementation, even though the krill oil supplied less of these fatty acids. The publication contributes to research on phospholipid-bound omega-3s.

Lipids in Health and Disease (2015), 14, 163. DOI: 10.1186/s12944-015-0162-7; PMID: 26666303.

A pilot study in healthy young adults found favorable changes in triglycerides, fatty acid composition, lipoprotein particles, and redox status. These findings contribute to research on krill oil in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health.

FAQ / Antarctic Krill Omega-3

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

How does krill oil differ from conventional fish oil?

A substantial proportion of the EPA and DHA in krill oil is associated with phospholipids. Conventional fish oils usually contain these fatty acids mainly as triglycerides. Krill oil also provides phosphatidylcholine, choline, and astaxanthin.

Do two capsules provide enough EPA and DHA to support normal heart function?

Yes. Two capsules provide 180 mg of EPA and 84 mg of DHA, totaling 264 mg. The beneficial effect on normal heart function is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.

Do the capsules have a strong krill smell?

The capsule limits direct contact with krill oil's characteristic aroma and offers a convenient alternative to liquid marine oils. Take the capsules with a meal.

Is this suitable for someone with a shellfish or fish allergy?

No. The product contains ingredients from both crustaceans and fish: Antarctic krill oil and a fish-gelatin capsule shell. Do not use it if you are allergic to either.

Can I take Antarctic Krill Omega-3 with medication?

If you take medication, especially a medicine that affects blood clotting, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before using omega-3 supplements. They can review your overall intake and health needs. Do not change prescribed medication or exceed two capsules daily.

How long does the bottle last?

Each bottle contains 90 capsules, a 45-day supply at two capsules daily.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. This product is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Discuss suitable omega-3 sources and amounts with your clinician during those stages. Antarctic Krill Omega-3 is intended for adults without fish or shellfish allergies.
