The fundamental distinction between krill oil and classic fish oils lies in the chemical form of their omega-3s. In krill oil, the EPA and DHA fatty acids are bound to phospholipids, natural components of human cell membranes. This structural affinity supports immediate recognition by the body and easier intestinal integration. Comparative research shows that omega-3s in phospholipid form reach higher plasma concentrations at equal doses compared with the triglycerides in fish oil — meaning that with just two capsules a day, Superba Boost krill oil delivers a level of bioavailability that higher doses of fish oil struggle to match, making it a particularly relevant choice for anyone wanting to optimise their omega-3 supplementation without multiple daily doses.

The Superba Boost label, developed by Aker BioMarine, guarantees Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) caught in some of the planet’s cleanest waters under MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified practices, with extraction via cold fractionation, a patented process that preserves the full range of heat-sensitive actives without harsh solvents. The free astaxanthin naturally present in krill gives the oil its characteristic red colour — this carotenoid has remarkable antioxidant properties that protect not only cells against oxidative stress, but also the oil itself against oxidation throughout the bottle’s shelf life, a dual protective role that sets krill oil apart from other marine omega-3 sources. Natural choline (83 mg per dose) is another exclusive benefit: a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning, choline is missing from conventional fish oils, so krill oil’s choline content complements the omega-3s in supporting cognitive function.

Licaps technology, developed by Capsugel, solves the classic drawbacks of marine oil supplements. The principle relies on vacuum encapsulation in a fish gelatine capsule, eliminating any residual air inside — this absence of oxygen prevents the krill oil from oxidising and removes the unpleasant repeat aftertaste often reported with traditional soft capsules. The result is greater product stability over time and a pleasant everyday experience, even for people usually reluctant to take marine oil supplements. Licaps technology also helps preserve the oil’s full nutritional profile from encapsulation through to consumption.

The MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification behind the Superba Boost raw material reflects a concrete commitment to marine ecosystem preservation. Antarctic krill is caught under strict quotas set by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which oversees the resource’s long-term sustainability. Aker BioMarine, the raw material supplier, ensures full traceability from catch to finished product, with every batch rigorously tested for heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium), microbiology and solvent residues.

Take 2 marine Licaps capsules a day, ideally with a meal containing fat to optimise absorption of the fat-soluble actives. The 180-capsule format provides a full three months at two capsules daily. Store the bottle away from heat and humidity.

Krill oil is not recommended for people with a known shellfish allergy. It also contains fish gelatine (Licaps shell). If taking anticoagulant medication, consult a healthcare professional before any omega-3 supplementation. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.

Is Superba Boost krill oil suitable for people with a shellfish allergy?

Krill is a crustacean, so this product is strictly not recommended for anyone with a shellfish allergy. Our team at Herba Barona can point you toward plant-based omega-3 alternatives, such as perilla oil or microalgae-derived omega-3s, which provide EPA and DHA without the shellfish allergy risk.

What is the difference between Superba Boost krill oil and classic fish oil?

The key difference lies in the form of the omega-3s: phospholipids in krill versus triglycerides in fish oil. Phospholipids are better recognised by cell membranes, resulting in superior absorption at equivalent doses. Krill oil also naturally provides choline and astaxanthin, two nutrients absent from standard fish oils.

Can krill oil be combined with other Dynveo supplements?

Krill oil combines well with most food supplements, particularly vitamin D3, magnesium bisglycinate or antioxidants such as quercetin. Visit us at Herba Barona, 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris 12, for personalised advice on the best pairings for your needs.

How long does a 180-capsule bottle last?

At the recommended dose of two capsules a day, a 180-capsule bottle provides a full three months (90 days) of supplementation — a generous format allowing continuous use, essential for getting the most from phospholipid omega-3s over the long term.
