Why Antarctic Krill For Pets?

There are many reasons why you should choose krill as a natural source of omega-3s, choline, proteins and the antioxidant astaxanthin.


These tiny crustaceans comprise one of the largest biomasses on our planet.

Krill are small, but their benefits for pets are significant

Present in all oceans, they hold a vital position in the marine food chain. Through millions of years of evolution, krill’s bioactive components and molecules have sustained nature’s diverse species.

Because Antarctic krill is a superior source of omega-3s, krill might be the answer to the growing awareness of, and demand for marine omega-3s for pets. 

Here are some proven health benefits Antarctic krill has for the pets

 

 

The Story Of Krill

About the same size as an average paper clip, Antarctic Krill spend most of their life feeding on microscopic algae and play a key role in the ocean's ecosystem, being an integral part of the survival of many marine species.

Krill are present in most oceans around the world, however, they gather together in huge swarms in Antarctica to feed on microscopic algae. This makes it possible to harvest this powerful and nutrient-rich little crustacean. Living in the pristine and unpolluted waters of the Southern Ocean means Antarctic krill are virtually free of environmental contaminants and toxins.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS OMEGA-3

Omega-3 Fatty Acids EPA & DHA

Omega-3s are among the most researched nutrients. They have demonstrated several health benefits for pets, including healthy organs, skin, and fur. Just like humans, pets have only a limited ability to produce omega-3s. That’s why these essential fatty acids must be included in pet diets, for a long and healthy lifespan.
