Product Description

Antarctic Krill Oil Microencapsulated Powder is a free-flowing powder produced by encapsulating Antarctic krill oil (Euphausia superba) within a protective wall matrix. This microencapsulation technology converts liquid krill oil into a stable, easy-to-handle powder while preserving its phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) and natural astaxanthin.

The powder presents a light orange to reddish-orange color with a mild, characteristic seafood aroma. It is designed for applications where liquid oil is difficult to incorporate — including dry blends, capsules, tablets, functional beverages, and cosmetic formulations.

Quick Details

Key Nutritional Components

Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3 Fatty Acids — The lipids in krill meal are characterized by a high phospholipid content (approximately 40%–45%). Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in phospholipid form demonstrate superior bioavailability compared to triglyceride-bound omega-3 from fish oil, with studies showing up to 42% greater effectiveness in raising omega-3 index levels.
 

Natural Astaxanthin — Krill oil naturally contains astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid antioxidant that provides the characteristic red-orange pigmentation. Astaxanthin protects the vulnerable omega-3 fatty acids from oxidative degradation and contributes to the stability of the microencapsulated powder.

Choline (as Phosphatidylcholine) — Krill oil is a natural source of choline in the form of phosphatidylcholine, supporting cellular membrane integrity and lipid metabolism.

Marine Phospholipids — The phospholipid fraction constitutes approximately 40%–45% of krill oil lipids, distinguishing it from other marine oil sources. These phospholipids act as natural emulsifiers, enhancing the dispersion and bioavailability of the encapsulated oil.

Trace Nutrients — The microencapsulated powder also contains naturally occurring beta-carotene and trace minerals inherent to Antarctic krill.
