KRILL OIL 500 mg (Superba2®)

Krill Omega-3 for those who want to take better care of themselves

Krill Oil 500 mg (Superba2®) from EssentialSeries is a food supplement based on lipid extract from Antarctic krill Euphausia superba.

Its standout feature is the high presence of phospholipids, a lipid form naturally associated with krill, along with omega-3 (EPA and DHA) and other components unique to this matrix. If you’re looking for an omega-3 different from the classic fish oil (more focused on phospholipids), with the characteristic Krill profile, made from Superba2® raw material, you’ve found your product.

Superba2® (Aker BioMarine): when raw material matters

In marine-origin food supplements, origin isn’t a detail: it’s the difference. Superba2® is the krill oil developed by Aker BioMarine (Human Ingredients), with a clear proposal: origin control, proprietary extraction processes, and consistency across all production batches.

From catch to oil: controlled chain and traceability

Aker BioMarine stands out for operating an integrated chain: from the catch in Antarctic waters to logistics and processing, with location recording and traceability of the final product back to the source. This transparency is especially valuable in marine-sourced ingredients. Once we receive the raw material, at HSN we use a custody system within our own factory that guarantees total process control so that quality is top-notch at every point in the production chain, until the product reaches your home.

Eco-Harvesting®: a catch designed to be selective

Aker BioMarine highlights its proprietary method Eco-Harvesting®, aimed at selective catching (minimizing the presence of non-target species) and careful handling of krill during the operation.

Flexitech™: oil purification and quality

Another differentiating point is the Flexitech™ technology, described as a system that allows purifying and concentrating characteristic components of krill oil (like phospholipids and omega-3) and reducing salts, pursuing an unmatched quality standard in the Superba2® raw material.

Phospholipids: the detail that sets it apart from other omega-3s

Practically speaking, just talking about omega-3 in krill oil falls short. In krill, a significant part of those omega-3s is associated with phospholipids, structural lipids naturally present in membranes. This characterizes the nutritional behavior of the fatty acids and sets it apart from fish oils typically used as the standard triglyceride source of omega-3s.

Did you know Superba2® guarantees 40% phospholipids?

Superba2® standardizes the lipid extract to ensure a significant presence of phospholipids. The advantage for you? the guarantee: it’s a unique form of omega-3, with a guaranteed supply of its distinctive feature. If you’re looking for a premium, top-quality product, you’ve found it.

Complete Krill matrix: EPA, DHA, choline, and astaxanthin

This oil integrates omega-3 (EPA and DHA) within the phospholipid fraction itself with choline, and a small natural amount of astaxanthin, the carotenoid responsible for krill’s characteristic reddish tone, hence the color inside our pearls.

Krill oil benefits you won’t want to miss

Its high omega-3 fatty acid content provides you with:

Comfortable pearls, easy to add to your routine

One factor that often influences the choice when using new products is how easy or hard it will be to add it to your daily routine: how big are the pearls, how many do I need to take per day...? At HSN we’ve worked to make this easy for you, with krill oil pearls of top quality and concentration, so you need the fewest possible units per day, while keeping the pearl size manageable, making it easy to take.

Tips and combinations

If you want to get the most out of krill oil, consistency is key, so adopting a steady routine is essential. For daily use, it usually fits well taken with main meals, many people get into the habit of taking krill oil at night, with dinner.

Practical tips to make the most of it

•  Prioritize consistency: better an easy habit than a “perfect” strategy you quit.
•  If your diet significantly lacks oily fish, you might also need an additional omega-3 boost through standard fish oil.
•  Take it with food and avoid taking it on an empty stomach as it absorbs worse and many people report poor digestive tolerance when taken on an empty stomach.

Recommended combinations

•  Vitamin D: a staple in your routine you can’t miss, especially in winter months.
•  Magnesium: you can take it at the same time as krill oil, they’re totally compatible.
•  Evobrain: if you’re a student using krill oil as a complement to your routine, don’t miss out on Evobrain.

Common questions so you don’t stay with doubts

How is it different from regular omega-3?

The key difference is the lipid matrix: in krill, omega-3s are largely associated with phospholipids, while fish oils mainly contain other lipid forms like triglycerides or free fatty acids. If you’re specifically after the properties of omega-3 phospholipids, krill is the best choice.

Is it suitable if I’m allergic to fish or shellfish?

Superba2® krill oil only contains shellfish allergen (krill). If you have a fish allergy, you can use it, since the control and safety processes in raw material production by Aker BioMarine and final product by HSN guarantee no cross-contamination.

Is it a vegan product?

No. Krill is a shellfish, and the pearls are made with gelatin.

Is Superba2® a good raw material?

Yes. Aker BioMarine has a system where the catch location is recorded and linked to oil production, allowing origin guarantee, which together with a refined extraction process that preserves the nutritional properties of krill oil, ensures top-quality raw material.
