Stonehenge Health Antarctic Krill Oil is the most potent and pure Omega-3 essential fatty acids available today. Containing naturally occurring omega-3 phospholipids and the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin, it is considered to be far more potent with a higher bioavailability than standard fish oil.

Krill Oil has been hailed as being a superior source of EPA and DHA than that found in fish oil. The key reason is that our bodies can use the phospholipids found in krill oil a lot faster than that found in fish oil.

Both krill oil and fish oil contain Omega-3 essential fatty acids in the form of EPA and DHA. The benefit of Krill oil is that it has a higher bioavailability than that of fish oil, allowing your body to access and use the essential EPA and DHA faster. The key reason is that krill oil has a high amount of polyunsaturated fats in the form of phospholipids while fish oil contains polyunsaturated fats in the form of triglycerides. Our body has to undergo additional processing in order to access and use the EPA and DHA found in triglyceride. Krill oil is also preferred over fish oil because it contains the antioxidant astaxanthin and is regarded as safer.

A growing concern with fish oil is the high levels of harmful mercury and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) found in our oceans. Fish oil often is extracted from bigger fish who are higher up in the food chain and eat smaller fish. This increases their consumption of harmful mercury and PCBs. A major benefit of Krill Oil is that it is sourced from the Antarctic Ocean, which has notably less pollution than other frequently fished bodies of water. Krill have a shorter lifespan and thus less time to accumulate mercury and PCBs compared to larger fish harvested for fish oil. Krill also eat algae and not other fish. All of these aspects allow krill oil to be a safer and more effective alternative to fish oil.
