Product Overview
Krill Oil is extracted from Euphausia superba, a small crustacean harvested from the cold waters of the Antarctic Ocean. Unlike standard fish oil, in which omega-3 fatty acids are bound to triglycerides, krill oil carries a meaningful portion of its EPA and DHA in phospholipid form, the same structural format the fatty acids use in cell membranes. Krill oil also naturally contains astaxanthin, a reddish carotenoid pigment that gives the oil its distinctive color and contributes antioxidant activity to the finished softgel.*
Because krill oil is sourced from a rapidly reproducing, tightly regulated Antarctic fishery, it is frequently marketed alongside sustainability messaging. The oil is typically encapsulated in softgels and is commonly used to support cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and a healthy inflammatory response as part of a daily omega-3 regimen.*
Key Considerations for Formulating with Krill Oil
- Phospholipid-bound EPA/DHA content is a primary differentiator brands use in label copy versus standard fish oil
- Astaxanthin content contributes to the oil's natural reddish-orange color and antioxidant positioning
- Softgel size and fill weight affect swallowability, a common consumer concern with oil-based capsules
- Sourcing and sustainability certifications (such as MSC) are frequently requested by brands targeting eco-conscious consumers
- Molecular distillation and third-party purity testing help address contaminant concerns common to marine oils
Private label brands most often request krill oil in a standard softgel format with defined EPA/DHA and astaxanthin potencies per serving, along with documentation on sourcing and heavy-metal testing to support marketing claims. Some brands request krill oil as a stand-alone product, while others combine it with fish oil or plant-based omega-3s in a blended softgel.

How is krill oil different from standard fish oil in a private label softgel?
Krill oil carries a portion of its omega-3s in phospholipid form rather than triglyceride form and naturally contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, giving brands a distinct formulation and marketing angle versus standard fish oil.*
