Krill Oil: A Sustainable and Stable Solution to Meeting Global Omega-3 Demand

Global demand for omega-3 fatty acids , particularly EPA and DHA, has soared, largely due to strong growth in aquaculture. In this article we are discuss about krill oil demand.

However, supplying these essential nutrients through traditional fish oil sources is challenging due to a variety of factors including fish population pressure, seasonal fluctuations, supply chain instability, and concerns about sustainability and environmental impact.

This, in turn, has impacted the supply and cost stability of fish oil for the dietary supplement industry and has resulted in higher prices and longer delivery times.

As the demand for seafood is far from over and continues to grow rapidly, the challenges we have encountered in the supply of fish oil to the supplement industry have only grown in recent years.

This inevitable and growing gap between supply and demand clearly demonstrates that fish oil alone can no longer meet the growing demand for omega-3 EPA and DHA.

There simply aren’t enough fish in the ocean to sustain this growth and meet demand sustainably.

Therefore, alternative sources of omega-3 must be explored.

Krill oil is a game changer in addressing these global challenges, and this article explores how AkerBioMarine’s krill oil offers a compelling solution to the omega-3 shortage due to its richness, sustainable practices, unique composition of essential nutrients, and security and stability of supply.

This is why Superba Krill Oil stands out:

1. Rich species and stable biomass

2. Sustainable and precautionary fisheries

3. Omega-3 in a unique multi-nutrient formula

4. Omega-3 is in the exact form our cells need, making it easy to absorb, incorporate and digest essential nutrients

5. Unparalleled Purity and Quality

6. Multiple Health Benefits

7. Flexible supply chain, providing safe and stable supply at stable prices

Species rich

Krill oil comes from one of the most abundant species on earth, with a healthy, stable biomass that has been scientifically proven to make it an ideal source for meeting omega-3 needs without depleting marine resources.

Sustainable and precautionary fisheries

The Antarctic krill fishery is probably the most precautionary and sustainable fishery in the world because its low catch rates and unique fishing methods ensure that unwanted catches are kept to a minimum.

With krill harvesting accounting for only 1% of the total krill population, and some fisheries capturing well over 20%, krill harvesting is an environmentally responsible choice that ensures a steady and adequate supply of an ingredient essential for human health while protecting the ecosystems in which we operate.

The krill fishery operates under strict regulations set by CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources), ensuring minimal environmental impact on the Antarctic ecosystem while maintaining healthy population levels.

The AkerBioMarine krill fishery is recognized by renowned certifications such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Friend of the Sea, and the fishery has also received the highest rating from the Partnership for Sustainable Fisheries.

Omega-3 has a unique multi-nutrient profile

What makes krill oil truly unique is its natural blend of nutrients.

In addition to providing high-quality omega-3 EPADHA content that is vital for heart health, brain function, joint support, and more ; krill oil also provides phospholipids and choline, which are essential for cellular function , as well as the naturally occurring antioxidant astaxanthin , which gives the oil its color and keeps it fresh, without the need for additives or preservatives.

Omega-3 is in the exact form our cells need, allowing for easy absorption, integration and digestion of essential nutrients

One of the main benefits of krill oil is its phospholipid form.

Phospholipids are components of cell membranes and affect cell structure and function.

Because our body’s cells contain phospholipids, omega-3s bound to phospholipids can easily absorb nutrients and incorporate them into tissues2 , thereby increasing utilization and overall health benefits to support optimal well-being.

Unlike forms that are oil-based and need to be converted in our bodies, krill lecithin is both oil-based and water-based, making it easy to digest with no unpleasant aftertaste.

Unrivaled Purity and Quality

Our Superba Krill Oil is sourced exclusively from fresh Antarctic krill through sustainable practices , without any further processing or molecular modification to provide unparalleled purity.

Gentle extraction methods are used to preserve freshness, maximize organoleptic properties and maintain high levels of nutrients while meeting stringent quality standards.

The result is a clean, natural and minimally processed product with no additives or preservatives or anything unwanted, while maintaining exceptional taste and freshness throughout the consumption process.

Science-backed health benefits

With over 50 human clinical trials conducted on AkerBioMarineSuperba Krill Oil. This sustainable supplement has been clinically prove to support a wide range of health benefits.

This includes heart health, joint support, cognitive performance, muscle health, dry eyes, skin hydration, and more.

Together, these studies provide compelling evidence that Superba Krill Oil. With its unique natural nutritional profile, is an effective and reliable choice for maintaining cellular health and overall optimal well-being.

In addition, Superba Krill Oil, which contains omega-3 EPA, DHA and choline, has received EFSA approval for four claims related to heart and liver health. With one more EFSA claim related to prenatal health pending EFSA approval.

Additionally, health claims approved in Canada, Australia, South Korea and Japan all reaffirm krill oil’s efficacy as a unique, nutrient-rich source of omega-3s.

Safe and stable supply

Another major advantage of choosing krill oil is its transparent and resilient supply chain. Guaranteeing reliable supply at a stable price.

While the fish oil value chain in general is quite fragment with different owners and operators. AkerBioMarine’s krill value chain offers full transparency and control from catch to production to the final product. Ensuring continuity at a stable price.

This means our customers can track each batch of krill from the exact location. It was caught, again providing consumers with a product that is 100% traceable back to its source.

The need for sustainable krill oil practices

As global demand surges and traditional sources face limitations in terms of availability. Sustainability and price stability; exploring alternative solutions is imperative.

Krill oil offers the unique advantage of utilizing an abundant species. While maintaining strict regulations and ensuring minimal impact on the environment.

With its pure ingredients, good phospholipid formula, high absorption rate, easy digestion. Multiple clinical studies backed by research, krill oil strikes a balance between demand and sustainability.

Effectively meets the basic needs of omega-3 EPA and DHA.

As consumer awareness of sustainable practices across industries, including dietary supplements, grows. Krill oil becomes an attractive, differentiated option that aligns with environmental responsibility.
