Krill comes from the pristine waters of southern Antarctica. Because of its low position in the food chain, it is almost free of toxins and heavy metals. Krill can survive for 200 days without food because they use the biological material in the body to store energy in the form of fat. In other words, Antarctic krill uses phosphatidylcholine containing omega-3 fatty acids as a fat reserve. Therefore, it is not without reason that krill oil is sought after in developed countries.
What substance does krill oil contain?
Antarctic Krill Oil is mainly composed of four substances: phospholipids, choline, astaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids. Each of the main components of krill oil has been proven to be beneficial to the cells and tissues of the human body. Because the antioxidant astaxanthin is dark red, krill oil is bright red.
Is krill oil the same as astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is an ultra-long-chain stable fat-soluble antioxidant that turns krill oil into a bright red color. It protects the oxidative stress of cell membranes, has a strong protective effect on the eyes, heart and skin, and can effectively improve the endurance of skeletal muscles. It helps keep the omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil stable. In cells, it can provide protection against free radical attacks.

Development status of Antarctic krill oil
Antarctic krill oil first appeared in the US market in 2003 and was approved by the European Union as a new raw material for food in 2008. It can be used in food, dietary supplements and special medical foods. In 2013, China recognized Antarctic krill oil as a new food material, which can be used in ordinary food. At present, in European and American countries, Antarctic krill oil is mostly circulated in the health product market in the form of encapsulated dietary supplements. High phospholipid, high EPA and DHA content are the main selling points of related products. Due to the abundant resources of Antarctic krill and the high-quality nutrition of krill oil, its development potential is huge.
