Krill Oil

EPA and DHA from Antarctic krill are mostly attached to a phospholipid backbone. After they enter the gut they can take a phospholipid absorption path, and the long-chain makeup of chylomicrons changes with them. For people who watch membrane phospholipids and blood lipids, changes in triglyceride markers are more often noticeable after several weeks of continued use.

Krill oil naturally carries the ketocarotenoid astaxanthin, so it is reddish-orange, and it terminates chain oxidation in the lipid phase. People who dislike a heavy fishy smell and want long-chain fats plus the red pigment at the same time often recognize this oil by color and taste.

Krill oil binds astaxanthin and phospholipids to EPA/DHA; some trials watch macular photoreceptor protection and oxidative-stress markers. Antarctic krill is the source; beyond lipids, people whose eyes tire easily after long screen time or outdoor glare often match gaps on this vision-antioxidant path.
