FAQ
Krill is a tiny crustacean from Antarctic seas whose oil contains omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) bound to phospholipids — unlike regular fish oil where omega-3s are in triglyceride form. This structural difference is fundamental: phospholipid omega-3s integrate directly into cell membranes without the need for hepatic reconversion, resulting in significantly superior bioavailability. Direct comparison studies show that krill oil achieves equivalent plasma EPA+DHA concentrations with doses 30 to 50% lower than fish oil.
Astaxanthin is a pink-red carotenoid that gives krill, flamingos and wild salmon their characteristic colour. It is one of the most powerful antioxidants known — 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C, 800 times more than CoQ10 and 550 times more than vitamin E according to in vitro ORAC measurements. It protects the lipids in krill oil from oxidation (no need for added artificial antioxidants) and provides its own benefits for skin, eyesight and muscle recovery.
Check the exact amounts on the Kiki Health label. Quality krill oil generally contains between 100 and 200 mg of EPA+DHA per 500 mg capsule, as well as phosphatidylcholine (a precursor of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for memory). Compare this with your supplementation goal: European health authorities (EFSA) recommend 250 mg of EPA+DHA per day for maintaining normal cardiac function, and up to 2,000 to 3,000 mg for specific therapeutic objectives.
Sustainability is a critical point for Antarctic krill. Euphausia superba krill is one of the largest animal biomasses on the planet and forms the base of the marine food chain (whales, penguins, seals). Responsible fishing is certified by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) for the best brands. Check whether the Kiki Health krill oil has MSC certification or equivalents (Friend of the Sea, CCAMLR compliance) on the packaging.
This is one of the most appreciated practical advantages of krill oil: fishy aftertaste burps (fish burps) are significantly less frequent than with fish oil. The phospholipid structure of krill is more stable in the stomach and the natural astaxanthin protects the lipids from oxidation. To further minimise any digestive discomfort, take krill oil with a meal.
No. Krill is a crustacean and krill oil may contain residual protein allergens even after extraction. People with shellfish allergies (prawns, lobster, crab) should avoid krill oil and opt for omega-3s of plant origin (algae oil, rich in DHA) or certified fish oil with no traces of shellfish.
Contraindications: shellfish or seafood allergy (see above); anticoagulant (warfarin, heparin) or antiplatelet therapy — omega-3s have a mild blood-thinning effect, consult your doctor; before surgery, stop 2 weeks before. Pregnant women may benefit from DHA for foetal brain development, but consult your doctor for the appropriate dose.
