1. Abundant species and stable biomass
Superba Krill oil is sourced from Antarctic krill, one of the most abundant species on Earth. This healthy, stable biomass makes it a sustainable way to meet growing omega-3 needs without placing added pressure on marine ecosystems.
Antarctic krill remains one of the world’s largest and most responsibly managed marine resources. A scientific publication from September 2021, authored by leading Antarctic research institutions estimated a standing biomass of approximately 63 million metric tonnes in Area 48, the region where regulated krill harvesting occurs.
2. Sustainable and precautionary fishery
The Antarctic krill fishery operates under strict regulations set forth by CCAMLR (Commission for Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources). It is one of the most precautionary and sustainable fisheries in the world due to its low catch ratios and unique harvesting methods ensuring minimal unwanted catch.
The krill fishery has an extremely low bycatch rate (approximately ~0.1–0.3%) according to a 2022 peer-reviewed scientific study. Aker BioMarine, the company behind Superba Krill oil, sources its ingredients from vessels using Eco-Harvesting technology, a method that avoids unnecessary bycatch, designed to minimize environmental impact.
3. Natural combination of key cellular nutrients in optimal form
Superba Krill oil is truly unique in its natural multi-nutrient composition. It contains essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are widely researched for supporting heart, brain, eye, and liver health. Its phospholipid structure helps omega-3s integrate into cell membranes for enhanced absorption and delivery throughout the body. Superba Krill oil also naturally contains choline, an essential nutrient that supports nerve signaling, liver function, and muscle health, and astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant.
4. Omega-3s in the exact form our body needs
The real magic of krill oil is linked to its phospholipid advantage, which is how the body recognizes and absorbs these nutrients. Phospholipids are known by many as “molecules of life”, and they are an integral part of the cell membranes contributing to cellular structure and function. Krill oil phospholipids deliver omega-3s and choline directly to the cell membranes, helping to support cellular health. Those nutrients are then transported throughout the body into your organs and tissues, helping to support optimal well-being.
5. Unmatched quality and consumer satisfaction
A high-quality krill oil should be ruby red in color, with no unpleasant odor or fishy aftertaste. That’s what sets Superba Krill apart. Its naturally occurring phospholipids are both water and oil-soluble, allowing the oil to mix easily in the body for smooth digestion and a more enjoyable consumer experience, without the reflux or lingering fishy taste often associated with traditional fish oils.
Superba Krill also contains naturally occurring astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that gives the oil its distinctive deep red color while helping protect it from oxidation and maintain freshness naturally, without the need for additives or preservatives.
Using a patented production process, Superba Krill preserves the oil’s natural purity, freshness, and nutrients from harvest to finished product. The result is a potent, clean supplement delivered in small, easy-to-swallow red softgels that are gentle on the stomach and virtually tasteless.
6. Top tier science and new claims
For 20 years, Aker BioMarine has contributed to more than 200 scientific articles and over 50 studies published in top-tier journals exploring the health benefits of krill oil. This extensive research spans across multiple health areas, from heart and joint to skin and sports nutrition, reinforcing the credibility and scientific strength behind the ingredient. One recent pilot study shows that krill oil may help reduce chronic pain.
Superba Boost Krill oil also recently became the first omega-3 ingredient approved under Japan’s Foods with Function Claims (FFC) system to carry a skin health claim. The approval highlights krill oil’s clinically proven ability to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier function, supported by two 2024 studies published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. As consumer demand for “beauty from within” solutions continue to grow, Superba Boost is uniquely positioned as a science-backed ingredient for the global beauty and nutraceutical markets, offering brands a clinically validated solution for supporting skin health from the inside out.
7. Vertical Integration & Full Value-Chain Control
Another key advantage of choosing Superba Krill oil is its transparent and resilient supply chain which guarantees reliable availability at stable prices. From harvesting to ingredient production, Aker BioMarine controls critical steps of the supply chain, ensuring traceability, quality consistency, and secure supply. This means that our customers can trace every batch of krill from exact harvesting position, providing their consumers again with a product that is 100% traceable back to its origin, reinforcing trust, supporting premium positioning, and delivering confidence in both product integrity and long-term supply reliability.
Superba Krill oil, a next generation solution
From sustainability and scientific credibility to superior absorption and consumer experience, Superba Krill oil represents the next generation of omega-3 nutrition. Its unique phospholipid form, exceptional quality standards, and fully traceable supply chain continue to set it apart in a rapidly evolving market.
