Our sustainability impact:
Human health, nutrition and wellbeing
Krill oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These essential fats play a crucial role in supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and promoting brain function.
Krill oil’s unique structure allows for superior absorption as the phospholipid form of omega-3s in krill oil, making it more effective in delivering nutrients to our cells.
Krill oil also contains astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage, supporting skin health, and contribute to eye health.
Studies suggest that krill oil may alleviate joint pain and stiffness due to its anti-inflammatory properties and most importantly, research indicates that krill oil have beneficial effects on hearth health by improving lipid profiles (increasing HDL (good) cholesterol and reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol levels).
Krill oil also contains choline, an essential nutrient, important for normal lipid metabolism and liver function

Animal health and welfare
Antarctic krill provides a unique combination of nutrients, making it a natural superfood for pets.
Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin, choline and proteins, krill ingredients offer a myriad of health benefits for pets in addition to improving palatability
Used as a functional ingredient in pet diets, krill can contribute to health and wellbeing by promoting a shiny coat and healthy skin, supporting joint health and cognitive function and enhancing overall wellbeing in cats and dogs at every life stage.

Food security and a sustainable aquaculture
Aquaculture is vital for global food security and human nutrition. Our krill hydrolysate offers solutions to aquaculture’s sustainability challenges. By adding it to aquaculture feed, we can help improve aquaculture production efficiency and animal welfare. Krill hydrolysate enhance the palatability of feed, which again increases growth rate, reduce animal mortality and reduce feed waste. Moreover, the taste enhancing properties improve formulation flexibility and allows for reduced dependence on fishmeal.
