Antarctic Krill Oil | 500mg with Phospholipids, EPA/DHA & Astaxanthin | Daily Defense®

Antarctic Krill Oil — 500 mg with Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3s, EPA/DHA & Natural Astaxanthin

Krill oil is derived from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), tiny crustaceans found in the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. Unlike standard fish oil, which delivers omega-3 fatty acids primarily as triglycerides, krill oil delivers EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids — the same structural form in which omega-3s are found in human cell membranes.* Krill oil also naturally contains astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid antioxidant that gives krill its distinctive red color and helps protect the oil from oxidation.* Daily Defense® Antarctic Krill Oil delivers 500 mg of krill oil per softgel, providing phospholipids, EPA/DHA, astaxanthin, and other naturally-occurring essential fatty acids.* 60 softgels per bottle, 60-day supply.

What’s Inside (Per Softgel)

• Krill Oil — 500 mg — Typically providing:
  • Phospholipids — 100 mg — Phospholipids are the primary structural component of cell membranes. In krill oil, EPA and DHA are esterified to phospholipids (primarily phosphatidylcholine), which may support their integration into cell membranes and bioavailability.* This phospholipid delivery form is the primary structural distinction between krill oil and standard fish oil triglycerides.*
  • EPA/DHA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid / Docosahexaenoic Acid) — 100 mg combined — EPA and DHA are the primary omega-3 fatty acids studied for cardiovascular, cognitive, retinal, and joint health support.* Note: the combined EPA/DHA content per softgel is 100 mg — lower than standard fish oil softgels — reflecting the different lipid composition of krill oil, which also provides phospholipids and other naturally-occurring fatty acids.*
  • Astaxanthin — A naturally-occurring carotenoid antioxidant in krill oil. Astaxanthin is one of the most potent natural antioxidants studied, providing antioxidant protection to the oil itself and supporting cellular antioxidant defense in the body.*
  • Other naturally-occurring essential fatty acids — Including additional omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids naturally present in krill oil.*

Delivered in a gelatin (bovine) softgel with glycerin, purified water, and natural vanillin.

What It Supports

• Cardiovascular function and healthy lipid metabolism via EPA and DHA*
• Cognitive function and brain health via DHA*
• Joint comfort and healthy inflammatory response via EPA*
• Retinal health and eye function via DHA*
• Cellular antioxidant defense via naturally-occurring astaxanthin*
• Cell membrane integrity via phospholipid-bound omega-3 delivery*

Krill Oil vs. Fish Oil — Key Differences

Both krill oil and fish oil provide EPA and DHA, but they differ in several ways worth understanding:

• Delivery form: Krill oil delivers EPA/DHA bound to phospholipids; fish oil delivers EPA/DHA primarily as triglycerides or ethyl esters.
• EPA/DHA dose per softgel: Krill oil typically provides lower EPA/DHA per softgel (100 mg combined in this formula) compared to standard fish oil softgels (700 mg combined in Daily Defense® Omega-3).
• Astaxanthin: Krill oil naturally contains astaxanthin; fish oil does not.
• Phospholipids: Krill oil provides 100 mg of phospholipids per softgel; fish oil does not.

Who Is This For?

Daily Defense® Antarctic Krill Oil is designed for adults looking to support cardiovascular, cognitive, and joint health with a phospholipid-bound omega-3 formula that also provides natural astaxanthin. It may be a good fit if you:

• Want omega-3 fatty acids delivered in phospholipid form alongside natural astaxanthin
• Are looking for a krill oil supplement with 500 mg krill oil, 100 mg phospholipids, and 100 mg EPA/DHA per softgel
• Want a 60-day supply in a single bottle at 1 softgel per day

How to Use
