DEFINITION

Krill Oil is the fixed oil extracted from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) biomass using appropriate food-grade organic solvents. Krill Oil contains NLT 30% (w/w) and NMT 59% (w/w) of total phospholipids, of which 60%–96% are phosphatidylcholine, 1-lysophosphatidylcholine, and 2-lysophosphatidylcholine. It contains NLT 10% (w/w) of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and NLT 5.0% (w/w) of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) mostly in the form of phospholipids. It also contains NLT 0.005% of astaxanthin.
