What is an ocean krill?
Krill are a type of ocean crustacean that very closely resemble shrimp but are smaller in size. Krill can grow up to five centimeters in length and due to their miniscule size, krill are a food source for fish, whales, squid, penguins and seals. Like fish oil found in fish, krill oil is extracted from krill because of its rich supply of Omega 3 fatty acids. Though krill can be found in oceans all over the world, the largest commercial fishing of krill takes place in the waters of Japan and Antartica. Krill oil is a rich source of EPA, DHA and ALA along with one compound (a carotenoid actually) that has been touted for its anti-oxidizing properties. Carotenoids are yellow or red pigments that occur naturally such as the red color of lobster and shrimp --- and the carotenoid is called asthanaxin. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid (a red pigment found in salmon, shrimp, lobster and other marine sources) that is known for its powerful anti-oxidant abilities. Krill oil contains vitamins A, D and E which are beneficial in maintaining eye function, healthy bones and skin among a host of other health benefits
