Humans, pets and farmed fish all benefit from krill

Krill oil for humans – marketed by Aker BioMarine as Superba™ - has steadily gained popularity and is quickly becoming the premier alternative to fish oil for consumers looking to increase their Omega-3 fatty acid intake. Unlike fish oil, krill oil’s omega-3 fatty acids are absorbed and carried to the body‘s cells in phospholipid form. Phospholipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, so these fatty acids are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by the body.
Pet owners and fish farmers around the globe have also discovered Aker BioMarine’s Antarctic krill products and are creating their own success stories as well.
QRILL™ Meal and QRILL™ Oil are the leading krill products available for animals today and in independent tests have shown amazing results.
Dog, cat and horse owners will see improved joint movement in their pets along with improved cardiovascular health when given QRILL™ Oil supplements.
QRILL™ Oil has high levels of phospholipids, which make up the major components of cell membranes in most biological tissues. Phospholipids are important building blocks for growth and development, and they also play a key role in biological processes, for instance during inflammation.
Researchers have proved that salmon, shrimp and marine fish fed on diets containing QRILL™ Meal will see greater growth and better health than fish and shellfish fed on conventional diets.
Along with containing a high level of lipids, QRILL™ Meal contains a minimum of 56% protein which contains all essential amino acids in a nutritionally balanced form, along with the natural antioxidant astaxanthin.
“The research confirms that QRILL™ meal has uniquely beneficial properties in feed for cats, dogs, horses and farmed fish,” says Aker BioMarine’s Executive Vice President Matts Johansen.
