Good for the heart, brain and eyes! Krill oil contains remarkable amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
Omega-3 fatty acids: good for your heart
The omega-3 fatty acids in Krill Vida are good for your heart, brain and eyes. The krill is sustainably fished and comes from Antarctic waters, which are among the cleanest on earth.
With the omega-3 acids EPA and DHA
- Good for your heart: Krill Vida contains the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These contribute to normal heart function.
- Good for the liver: The choline in krill oil helps to maintain liver function.
- With phospholipids: They are a component of all cell membranes. The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are bound to them. This guarantees an optimized dosage form of EPA and DHA.
- The omega-3 fatty acids are naturally preserved by the astaxanthin they contain.
Omega-3: EPA and DHA
Krill oil is extracted from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). It contains remarkable amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These are unsaturated fatty acids that are essential for the human body.
Important contribution to heart health
Current research* shows that omega-3 fatty acids and phospholipids support heart health. [loggedin]In this way, Krill Vida influences 2 markers of heart health: omega-3 and triglyceride levels.[/loggedin]

Good for the heart, brain and eyes
- DHA and EPA contribute to normal heart function.
- DHA and EPA contribute to normal blood pressure.
- DHA and EPA contribute to a normal triglyceride level in the blood.
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.
- DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
- DHA contributes to normal brain development in the fetus and infant.
- DHA contributes to normal eye development in the fetus and infant.
- Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
- Choline contributes to normal fat metabolism.
- Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.
Advantages of Krill Vida
- Natural product with essential nutrients that support your heart.
- Traceability of each batch back to the exact fishing location in the Antarctic.
- Sustainable fishing methods without bycatch.
- Gentle processing directly on the ship.
- Concentrated krill oil = desirable ingredients are retained, undesirable ones are removed.
- Somewhat water-soluble = far-reaching consequences for the tolerance, digestion and absorption of the oil.
The omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are good for the heart and brain: they contribute to normal heart function and the maintenance of normal brain function.
Differences between krill oil and fish oil
- Studies1 show that krill oil is better absorbed by the body than fish oil.
- Unlike fish, krill are not at risk of overfishing. The krill population is estimated at around 500 million tons. No other animal species in the world produces more mass than krill. A maximum of 0.5% of the global stock is fished.
- Nevertheless, it is important to only use krill from sustainable sources. The krill in Krill Vida comes from sustainable and controlled catches.
- In fish oil, the omega-3 fatty acids are bound to triglycerides and are therefore fat-soluble. In krill oil, the omega-3 fatty acids are bound to phospholipids. They are therefore also water-soluble to a certain extent. This has far-reaching consequences for the tolerance, digestion and absorption of the oil.
- The ratio between omega-3 acids and omega-6 acids is 3 times higher in krill oil than in fish oil.
- Krill are at the top of the food chain. This means that the accumulation of heavy metals and other toxins in the animals’ bodies is much less likely than with fish further up the food chain.

Krill Vida: sustainable, gentle and of high quality
MSC-certified
The MSC certification guarantees that the krill is fished using sustainable methods and is traceable throughout the entire supply chain. We know where the krill contained in every single capsule has been fished. This traceability ensures maximum transparency.
Nachhaltige Fischerei
For the fifth time in a row, “our” Antarctic krill fishery has received an “A” rating from the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) for its well-managed fishery. The independent report states that the fish stocks are in very good condition and the krill fishery in the Atlantic Southern Ocean is highlighted as being particularly well managed.
ECO Harvesting
Eco-harvesting is a technology for fishing krill in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. The trawl is permanently submerged and the krill is gently brought on board the ship via a special tube, reducing the risk of bycatch of other species to almost zero.
Sustainable and natural
- Sustainable: The krill is fished according to the strict principles of CAMLR. This organization is responsible for sustainable krill fishing in the Antarctic. The catch data is transmitted daily by satellite to the authorities and CAMLR. Antarctic krill fishing is only carried out in a small area for which CAMLR has set a catch quota of just 1% of the total biomass (by way of comparison, a catch quota of 10% is considered sustainable for fishing).
- With respect for nature: krill are caught in the months when whales, for example, have finished rearing their young and are no longer only in the Antarctic. This means that krill fishing does not compete with these beautiful animals. No trawls are used, which destroy the seabed.
- Capsule shell made from fish gelatine: Krill Vida capsules are made from fish gelatine instead of the usual bovine gelatine.
- Gentle processing: Our krill oil is processed immediately after being caught and as gently as possible directly on the ship in order to preserve the ingredients unchanged.
