Krill Oil | Antarctic

Q: Can I break the capsule open to consume the Krill Oil?
A: It is not recommended that you break open the Krill Oil capsule as the capsule helps to decrease any fishy odour, taste or repeat. If you have difficulties swallowing pills, you may choose to break open the capsule, however it's likely you will find the smell and taste very unpleasant.

Q: Is Krill Oil Kosher?
A: No. Krill is a crustacean and is not kosher.

Q: What is Astaxanthin? 
A: Astaxanthin comes from a unique microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis) and is a carotenoid with antioxidant properties. A study in the Journal of Medicinal Food found Astaxanthin to have more antioxidant activity than any other carotenoid, and even more than vitamin E. The Krill eat this microalgae, retaining the Astaxanthin.

Q: How should I store Krill Oil?
A: Ancient Purity Antarctic Krill Oil comes in a Miron Glass Bottle that should be stored in a cool, dry place protected from heat and light. No refrigeration is required, nor is it recommended.

Q: Can I take Krill Oil with my multivitamin or other health supplements?
A: Yes. The omega-3’s in Ancient Purity Krill Oil are considered to be essential nutrients, but they do not interfere with other nutrients found in multivitamins. With this or any other form of supplementation, Ancient Purity always recommend consulting with your healthcare practitioner.

Q: How much Krill Oil is safe to take in one day? 
A: The recommended dosage of Ancient Purity Krill Oil is 2 capsules. Talk to your healthcare practitioner if you would like to supplement beyond this serving.

Q: Does Krill Oil contain heavy metals or toxins?
A: Krill are naturally very low in heavy metals or toxins as they are both low on the food chain, and reside in cold Antarctic waters.

Q: What are the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids? 
A: The omega-3’s that make krill oil beneficial are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA and DHA are shown in many studies to promote cardiovascular health, support feminine health, healthy joints, brain health and more. Omega-3 fatty acids are commonly lacking in the diet which is why supplementation is often recommended.

Q: How is the Krill harvested?
A: The krill is harvested using sustainable fishing methods that preserve biodiversity and adhere to strict environmental laws.

• Take 1-2 capsules daily, or take Ancient Purity Krill Oil as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
• Levels of Omega-3's build up rapidly in the body once you take supplements. But it may take 6 weeks to 6 months to experience a significant change in pain, mood, or other symptoms.
• Because most of Ancient Purity Krill Oil's benefits are associated with long-duration use, it can be taken at any time of day. That said, splitting your supplement into two smaller doses in the morning and at night can decrease acid reflux.
• No need to refrigerate.

WARNING: If you are allergic to shellfish, have a blood coagulation disorder, or are taking anticoagulants such as Warfarin (Coumadin), do not use Krill Oil.
