Product Description

Krill Oil is a sustainably sourced, wild-caught Antarctic krill oil formula developed by DaVinci Labs, featuring NKO™ (Neptune Krill Oil™) — a trademark ingredient of the Aker Group — delivering 1,000 mg ofEuphausia superbakrill oil per two-softgel serving, yielding 400 mg phospholipids, 250 mg total omega-3 fatty acids (135 mg EPA and 60 mg DHA), and 750 mcg esterified astaxanthin. NKO™ is produced in an NSF-certified facility and third-party tested for purity and quality, with full traceability from harvest to finished product. Unlike conventional fish oil omega-3 supplements, krill oil delivers EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids — primarily phosphatidylcholine — rather than triglycerides, providing a delivery form that is absorbed more rapidly and efficiently across intestinal membranes without requiring micelle formation, and that directly escorts DHA across the blood-brain barrier through phospholipid-specific transport mechanisms. The naturally occurring astaxanthin content provides built-in oxidative stability and ocular and skin antioxidant support. Designed for practitioner-directed use in cardiovascular, cognitive, joint, skin, and healthy aging protocols, Krill Oil provides a cleaner, smaller, and more bioavailable alternative to conventional fish oil softgels without fishy aftertaste.

How it works:Krill Oil supports cardiovascular, cognitive, joint, skin, and ocular health through the unique bioavailability advantages and complete nutritional profile of phospholipid-bound EPA and DHA alongside choline and astaxanthin. The phospholipid-bound delivery of omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil provides superior absorption efficiency compared to triglyceride-form fish oil — with phospholipid-EPA and DHA absorbed through a micellar-independent intestinal transport mechanism that results in higher plasma omega-3 incorporation per dose. Phospholipid-bound DHA is specifically recognized by phospholipid transfer proteins that escort DHA across the blood-brain barrier via the Mfsd2a transport pathway — the primary route for brain DHA uptake that preferentially transports phospholipid-DHA over triglyceride-DHA — supporting more efficient neuronal membrane enrichment and cognitive benefit per serving. The phosphatidylcholine fraction of krill oil (400 mg phospholipids per serving) simultaneously provides choline — an essential nutrient for acetylcholine neurotransmission, neuronal membrane integrity, and liver fat metabolism — as a co-delivered nutrient inherent to the phospholipid structure. EPA (135 mg) and DHA (60 mg) provide their well-established cardiovascular support through Series 3 prostaglandin and Specialized Pro-resolving Mediator production, supporting healthy blood glucose, cholesterol within normal ranges, platelet aggregation balance, and a normal inflammatory response. Esterified astaxanthin (750 mcg) — one of the most potent lipid-soluble antioxidants known — provides oxidative stability to the krill oil formulation itself while simultaneously delivering meaningful ocular and skin antioxidant activity through its carotenoid deposition in retinal and skin tissue.
