XanthOmega™ Krill Oil

Krill Oil with 12 mg of Astaxanthin
Combines omega‑3 fatty acids, krill oil, and astaxanthin to support the body’s antioxidant status and promote a healthy inflammatory response.*
Delivers a generous 12 mg per serving of astaxanthin (as AstaREAL®) with 880 mg of krill oil. Krill oil provides bioavailable phospholipids, EPA, and DHA.
• Supports antioxidant status*
• Supports a healthy inflammatory response*
Recommended use: Take 2 softgels per day with meals or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
Warning: Consult a health-care professional prior to use if you have a bleeding disorder, are taking anti-coagulants or are facing surgery.
Astaxanthin + omega-3 fatty acids
XanthOmega™ Krill Oil is an extract from Antarctic krill containing highly unsaturated EPA and DHA (omega‑3 fatty acids) bound to phospholipids, which closely resemble human brain phospholipids.* These phospholipids are essential components of all cell membranes, supporting the efficient delivery and utilization of EPA and DHA while promoting healthy cellular function.* XanthOmega™ also contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid that helps maintain cell membrane integrity and supports antioxidant status, providing synergistic benefits with krill oil.*

What This Product Is
XanthOmega Krill Oil combines omega-3 fatty acid containing krill oil and astaxanthin to support the body's antioxidant status and promote a healthy inflammatory response.* The formula provides 880 mg of virgin krill oil per serving sourced from Euphausia superba (Antarctic krill), containing the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids that closely resemble human brain phospholipids. A generous 12 mg per serving of astaxanthin (as AstaREAL®) helps achieve optimum benefits from this health-promoting carotenoid.*
The phospholipids in krill oil are important components of all cell membranes, functioning as cell messengers and carriers of EPA and DHA. This phospholipid-bound delivery supports effective utilization of the omega-3 fatty acids.* The high phospholipid content is standardized to a minimum of 40%, primarily as phosphatidylcholine. The unique structure of astaxanthin enables it to interact with cell membranes, supporting their integrity and antioxidant status.*
Mechanism of Action
Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3 Delivery*
Unlike standard fish oils where omega-3s are bound to triglycerides, krill oil provides EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids that closely resemble human brain phospholipids. This phospholipid structure supports effective delivery and utilization of omega-3 fatty acids by functioning as cell messengers and carriers. Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into the phospholipids in cellular membranes and are involved in the body's inflammatory responses.*
Astaxanthin for Antioxidant and Membrane Support*
Astaxanthin (12 mg as AstaREAL®) is a potent carotenoid with a unique molecular structure that enables it to span the entire cell membrane, supporting membrane integrity from the inside out. This structure also supports the body's antioxidant status and helps protect the delicate omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation, providing redox balance support.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking phospholipid-bound omega-3s for enhanced delivery and utilization*
- Those wanting antioxidant support with high-dose astaxanthin (12 mg)*
- Individuals needing healthy inflammatory response support*
- Those seeking cell membrane integrity support with krill-derived phospholipids*
- Individuals wanting a combined omega-3 and carotenoid antioxidant formula*

Product Questions
How does krill oil differ from standard fish oil for omega-3 delivery?
In krill oil, the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are bound to phospholipids rather than triglycerides. These phospholipids closely resemble human brain phospholipids and function as cell messengers and carriers, supporting effective delivery and utilization of omega-3s. The high phospholipid content (minimum 40% as phosphatidylcholine) provides additional cell membrane support beyond what standard fish oil offers.*
Why is 12 mg of astaxanthin included?
Astaxanthin is a potent carotenoid with a unique structure that enables it to interact with and span cell membranes, supporting membrane integrity and antioxidant status. The 12 mg dose is a generous amount designed to help achieve optimum benefits. Astaxanthin also helps support redox balance and protect the delicate omega-3 fatty acids in the formula.*
Who may benefit most from XanthOmega Krill Oil?
Individuals seeking phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids for enhanced delivery and utilization, those wanting high-dose astaxanthin for antioxidant and cell membrane support, people needing healthy inflammatory response support, and anyone wanting a combined omega-3 and carotenoid formula in a convenient softgel format.*
