Tri-Krill™
The triple benefit krill oil
With 6 mg of Astaxanthin, the highest of all krill supplements
What is so special about Tri-KRILL ™?
Tri-KRILL ™oil contains no less than 42%
Phospholipids and 1500 ppm of Astaxanthin,
the highest of any krill oil product on the
market. Every batch is tested for
contaminants and heavy metals. We feel we
have set the highest standards for quality in
our krill oil. It is also independently tested with
3rd party testing. What is new about Tri-Krill? We use only the best ingredients.
How is Tri-KRILL ™Oil manufactured?
Our Tri-KRILL ™Oil is manufactured at a state of the art manufacturing facility that has been
working with nutritional lipids for over 12 years. This facility is recognized worldwide for its standards
and the quality of lipids they produce.
How is the Krill Oil harvested?
Each trawler is allowed to harvest during the main season and only about 1% of the allowable limit
is actually harvested. Krill harvesting is among the most regulated of any harvesting or fishing
methods in the oceans.
Is the krill population in the oceans sustainable?
Our krill is made from Euphausia superb (Antarctic Krill). This is one of the earth's most abundant
and sustainable organisms. Antarctic krill is the largest biomass on earth. The total quantity is
estimated to be between 500 and 800 million tons. The weight of this biomass is almost double that
of all the humans on earth.
The krill harvest is well below conservative international catch guidelines. Most of the harvested krill
is used for fish feed in salmon farms and the quantities harvested are less than 1% of the 1%
harvested annually.
What Is Astaxanthin?
Krill oil contains high levels of one of the most powerful natural antioxidants called Astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid molecule from the same family as beta-carotene, lycopene, and
zeaxanthin, though astaxanthin appears to be more active in quenching superoxide, hydroxyl,
and other radical species.
Recent studies suggest that astaxanthin has anti-inflammatory action, inhibiting cytokine cascades
in a number of trials of cardiovascular health, respiratory health, joint health, athletic performance,
and others.
Astaxanthins are what gives salmon its red color. Krill get their astaxanthin from small
phytoplankton, their primary source of food. While krill contain natural levels of astaxanthin, we
enrich our Tri-KRILL ™with additional astaxanthin to the highest levels available.
