The actives
- Krill Oil (as SUPERBA2™) — 500 mg
- Lipid extract from the crustacean Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). The platform that carries the omega-3s, phospholipids, choline, and astaxanthin in this formula.
- Choline — 25 mg
- Naturally present in krill oil. Choline supports normal brain, nerve, and liver function as part of a balanced diet.*
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids — 110 mg
- The marine omega-3 contribution from each softgel, carried in phospholipid form rather than as a triglyceride.*
- Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) — 60 mg
- A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid from Antarctic krill, supplied in phospholipid form.*
- Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) — 27 mg
- A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid from Antarctic krill, supplied in phospholipid form.*
- Phospholipids — 200 mg
- Phospholipids are the same class of fat your cell membranes are built from. In krill oil they carry the omega-3 fatty acids and choline.*
- Astaxanthin — 50 mcg
- A carotenoid antioxidant naturally found in krill that helps maintain the body's defenses against everyday oxidative stress.*
- Other ingredients
- Lipid extract from the crustacean Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), capsule (gelatin (bovine)), humectant (glycerol, sorbitol), water, aroma (ethyl vanillin). Contains crustacean shellfish (krill).
Why it’s built this way
Not all omega-3 is created equal, and not all of it comes from clean water. Pristinium is built around a single, remarkable marine ingredient: SUPERBA2™ oil from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), tiny shrimp-like creatures that thrive in the cold, remote, and famously unpolluted waters of the Southern Ocean. Unlike fish oils that can carry whatever the catch swam through, every batch of Pristinium krill is sustainably harvested from one of the most tightly managed fisheries on earth and processed onboard ship within hours, then encapsulated fresh in the USA — a clean, traceable source from a company that has led nutrition science since 1984.
What makes krill so special is the form its omega-3 arrives in. Here the EPA and DHA are bound to 200 mg of phospholipids — the very class of fat your cell membranes are built from — so each softgel delivers 110 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (60 mg EPA, 27 mg DHA) the body recognizes and absorbs with ease. Nature folds in two more gifts: naturally occurring choline and astaxanthin, the deep-red carotenoid that gives krill its color and powerful antioxidant strength. Small, gently vanilla-scented, and easy to swallow with no fishy aftertaste — Pristinium is an ocean of everyday wellness in a single softgel.
