Aker BioMarine Antarctic is a vertically integrated biotechnology company dedicated to the sustainable harvest of krill and development of krill-derived biotech products. The company supplies biomarine ingredients through a fully traceable value chain.
Aker’s ingredient brand, Superba™ Krill, is a pure, natural source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA and the naturally occurring antioxidant astaxanthin. Superba™ Krill’s omega-3s are largely bound to phospholipids, which are better recognized and utilized by the body. In vitro, in vivo and human clinical research has demonstrated the safety, efficacy and superiority of Superba™ Krill over other omega-3 sources in several areas, including heart and brain health.
Superba™ Krill is more bio-efficient than other forms of omega-3s, which translates to smaller capsules and easier digestion. This in turn promotes a better user experience and offers consumers an alternative to current omega-3 options.
Harvested in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, Aker BioMarine’s Superba™ Krill comes from the cleanest, most pristine environment on Earth. Further, only Aker's krill fishery has been awarded Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certification, which guarantees its operations are sustainable and 100% traceable from sea to shelf.
