Everything you want to know about Krill Oil

Frequently Asked Questions

NFO Omega-3 Krill Oil is sourced from wild Antarctic krill (tiny shrimp-like crustaceans) harvested in the pristine Southern Ocean waters around Antarctica.

Key quality points:

  • Harvested in cold, unpolluted Antarctic waters
  • Sourced from sustainably managed krill fisheries
  • Traceable and responsibly harvested under strict international regulations (CCAMLR)
  • Carefully processed to preserve freshness, purity, and natural astaxanthin content

The Antarctic environment is considered one of the cleanest marine ecosystems in the world, which helps ensure a low risk of heavy metals and environmental contaminants.

NFO prioritizes quality-controlled sourcing and manufacturing standards to ensure that every batch meets high purity and stability requirements.

Form of omega-3:

  • Fish oil – omega-3s mostly in triglyceride or ethyl ester form.
  • Krill oil – omega-3s mostly in phospholipid form.

📌 Why it matters: phospholipid form is easier for your body to absorb and integrate into cell membranes.

Extra nutrient:

  • Krill oil contains astaxanthin – a powerful antioxidant that makes it naturally reddish and helps protect the oil from spoiling.
  • Fish oil usually does not have this antioxidant (but NFO add vitamin E to prevent oxidation).

Absorption and dosage

  • Krill oil’s phospholipid form means you might need less to get the same effect.
  • Fish oil works too, but may require a slightly higher dose to match blood omega-3 levels.

Taste and burps

  • Krill oil tends to have fewer fishy burps because of its chemical structure and smaller dose.
  • Fish oil burps are common unless it’s a high-quality, deodorized version.

In short:

Both give you EPA and DHA (the same omega-3s your brain, heart, and cells love), but krill oil delivers them in a more “ready-to-use” package with an extra antioxidant bonus. Fish oil is more affordable and well-researched, but may need higher doses and oxidizes easier.

Results vary depending on your health goals and consistency of use.

  • General wellness support: 2–4 weeks
  • Cardiovascular and triglyceride support: 6–12 weeks
  • Joint comfort support: 4–8 weeks

Omega-3 levels build gradually in the body, so consistent daily use is recommended.

For best absorption, take NFO Omega-3 Krill Oil:

  • With a meal
  • Preferably one that contains healthy fats
  • At the same time each day for consistency

Taking it with food may also help reduce the chance of mild digestive discomfort.

NFO focuses on:

  • Sustainably sourced Antarctic krill
  • Carefully controlled manufacturing processes
  • Protection against oxidation
  • High purity standards
  • Stable formulation with natural astaxanthin

This ensures freshness, potency, and consistent quality.
