Krill oil (Euphausia superba) is harvested from Antarctic krill, tiny crustaceans that are among the most abundant organisms on Earth. Unlike conventional fish oil, krill oil delivers omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in phospholipid form, which are more bioavailable and easier for the body to absorb. In addition, krill oil naturally contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that enhances stability and adds additional health benefits.
1. Why Krill Oil Is a Top Choice for OEM Supplement Brands
Krill oil stands out in the supplement market for several reasons. First, its phospholipid-bound omega-3s are clinically shown to be more efficiently absorbed than the triglyceride form found in standard fish oil. Second, the naturally occurring astaxanthin content (typically 0.1-0.2 mg per gram) provides antioxidant protection that keeps krill oil stable without synthetic preservatives. Third, krill oil has a milder odour and taste compared to fish oil, making it more consumer-friendly in softgel and capsule formats.
2. Available Dosage Forms for Krill Oil OEM Manufacturing

Our team will advise on the most suitable format based on your target market and positioning.
3. Key OEM Manufacturing Considerations for Krill Oil
