Norway Omega’s finest Antarctic & Norwegian Krill represents the new guard in Omega 3 and antioxidants. Antarctic red krill oil is a strong alternative source of Omega 3 fatty acids, due to its powerful antioxidant values.

Arctic ruby red krill oil made from krill is an excellent source of healthy Omega-3 fats DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid). While Astaxanthin, Choline and Phospholipids offer a powerful supply of natural antioxidants. Studies have shown that these fatty acids are linked to a variety of health benefits.The essence of the Antarctic red krill oil is also rich in the powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin, which gives the krill its ruby red hue and helps to enhance the effectiveness of krill as a healthy supplement.
Omega-3 fatty acids are among the world’s most researched components used for nutrition. Krill and wild water fish Omega-3 share many health benefits, though the phospholipid nature of ruby red krill oil and its antioxidant values gives Antarctic red krill oil an advantage.
Multiple studies also show that the healthy fatty acids in red krill oil can help fight inflammation. Due to its high astaxanthin content, food and drug red krill oil may, in fact, be even more effective against inflammation than other marine Omega-3 sources.
The antioxidant is recognized for suppressing free radicals and protects the red krill’s Omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation. In other words, no additives are necessary to maintain its long-term stability.
By having full control over the production-from harvest, processing, and encapsulation-we can guarantee the highest quality krill possible. We have strict levels of quality and traceability assurance in regards to harvesting krill, raw materials, logistics, and processing. Our patented low-impact fishing technology® is the latest environmentally friendly krill harvesting tech. By using a specially designed vessel, that includes a unique mechanism that singles out unwanted by-catch (non-krill species) and releasing them. In other words, our Antarctic krill oil is harvested with the most cutting-edge tech to ensure that only krill is collected, and other fish is left unharmed.
Our red krill oil is also certified by The Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) as the only red krill oil that is 100 percent traceable. This guarantees sustainability through all stages of the supply chain.
Our Krill is evaluated constantly by independent studies and is found to contain almost no contaminants. Krill is one of the cleanest sources of marine Omega-3s on the market today. Our krill is sustainably sourced from schools of wild krill in the southern Antarctic Ocean. These are the cleanest oceans in the world. Due to their small size, the krill’s diet consists of algae and minute phytoplankton. and thus it contains next to no pollutants and has a rare natural purity.
WHY IS KRILL VIEWED AS A WHOLE FOOD EXTRACT?
Ruby red krill oil is unique as a marine Omega-3, viewed as a whole food extract that doesn’t require distillation, and has markedly fewer processing steps to achieve its state in a consumable form.
Located at the beginning of the food cycle, krill are highly nutritious and almost free from impurities and pollution, even in their original state. No purification or distillation is required, which means krill oil only undergoes very little processing. Krill catches are processed straight from the ocean on board state-of-the-art vessels, guaranteeing that its freshness and nutritional value is preserved.
IMPACT ON NATURE
Krill is by far the least sourced of all marine Omega3. The global krill population approximately weighs in at 500 million tons, but only a small fraction of this is harvested each year. Although krill supplies are bountiful, Norway Omega Krill takes extra care to harvest less than 0.03% from the designated Southern Antarctic region. Taking advantage of a patented low-impact fishing method since 2003. This harvesting technique uses the most cutting edge technology to ensure that only krill is collected, leaving other fish unharmed.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Conduct internal quality audits to ensure compliance with cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) for API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) and the authorities’ regulations for the production of marine-based Omega-3.
- Manufacture our Omega-3 fish oil ingredients in regulatory compliance with Norwegian US and European food safety requirements.
- Handle and process products under a competent Controlled HACCP system in accordance with the US FDA’s seafood HACCP regulation 21 CFR 123 and Norwegian and European authorities. This includes full quality control and assurance
- Maintain written product specifications, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and production records
- Maintain standard operating procedures.
- Implement detailed customer feedback, non-conformity, change control and Continuous Control schemes with Corrective Action Programmes.
- Ensure that batch records are reviewed by authorized personnel prior to release.
QUALITY CONTROL
In addition to quality assurance processes, we:
- Maintain compliance with industry standards established under the Omega-3 monographs in the EU Pharmacopoeia and GOED Omega-3 Voluntary Monograph.
- Impose strict limits for our operations; our goal is to stay ahead of regulatory developments, continually setting new standards in the industry.
- Perform multilevel testing; all products are subject to stringent internal specification testing, from the applied raw material to our finished products.
- Perform on-going stability studies to determine the shelf life of every product.
- Issue Certificates of Analysis, based on confirmation of quality and compliance, for each batch.
- Undertake validation of analytical methods.
- Employ 3rd party testing, including an analysis of all 209 PCB congeners, which will be included in the following year’s product specifications.
