Introducing our highest potency krill oil supplement ever: Swanson Maximum Strength Krill Oil, featuring a full gram of pure Superba2® krill oil in every softgel.
Krill oil has something that fish oil simply doesn’t: phospholipids (fat molecules that the body uses to transport nutrients). The phospholipid-linked omega-3 EFAs in krill oil promote men’s and women’s health in the areas of heart and brain health as well as skin hydration and elasticity.
Emerging research indicates an even wider array of benefits at higher intakes. For example, the essential fatty acids in krill oil are thought to provide nutritional support for women’s health. Two grams of krill oil per day can help ease the concerns of PMS including mood, irritability, stress and tension, all thanks to the combined benefits of omega-3, astaxanthin and choline.¹ Four grams per day can support knee comfort and promote healthy joint function and might be an effective nutritional strategy to help athletes by providing omega-3 fatty acids, choline and astaxanthin. Athletes and active adults may also enjoy immune function benefits as omega-3 has been linked to supporting NK (“natural killer” immune cells) activity in the body after exertion.
Unlike fish oil, krill oil not only delivers EPA and DHA to your cells, but phospholipids as well. This “phospholipid effect” delivers positive effects on remodeling cells’ structures, fluidity and functions.² The phospholipid-bound essential fatty acids (EFAs) in krill oil have been shown to be better absorbed than fish oil EFAs,² making krill oil one of the best-selling omega-3 supplements in the world. Krill oil naturally contains high levels of phosphatidylcholine, which is important for cellular membrane integrity, helping to regulate lipid metabolism and support healthy cognitive function.
Superba2 Krill Oil softgels are produced from only the finest wild-caught Antarctic krill, certified by the Marine Stewardship Council for sustainable and traceable harvest practices, and by IKOS (International Krill Oil Standards) for astaxanthin content and freshness. Maximum Strength Krill Oil is made with patented Flexitech™ technology, which helps remove unwanted salts and other impurities to produce a high-quality krill oil with improved taste and smell.

FAQ
- What does krill oil do in the body?
Krill oil supplies the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are incorporated into cell membranes throughout the body to support healthy cellular function. These essential fats help support cardiovascular, brain, eye, and joint health, while naturally occurring astaxanthin provides antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. - How is krill oil different from fish oil?
Both krill oil and fish oil provide the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA to support heart, brain, and eye health. However, in krill oil, much of these omega-3s are naturally bound to phospholipids, while fish oil primarily contains omega-3s in triglyceride or ethyl ester forms. Krill oil also naturally contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which helps protect the oil from oxidation and provides additional antioxidant support. - What are phospholipid-bound omega-3s, and why are they important?
Phospholipids are fat-like molecules that form the basic structure of cell membranes. In krill oil, EPA and DHA are naturally bound to phospholipids, allowing these omega-3s to become part of healthy cell membranes throughout the body. Maintaining healthy cell membranes supports normal cellular communication, nutrient transport, and overall cell function. - Is Swanson Maximum Strength Krill Oil suitable for special diets?
Swanson Maximum Strength Krill Oil is non-GMO, gluten free, and dairy free, making it a great option for many dietary preferences. However, because it is sourced from Antarctic krill and comes in a gelatin softgel, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets.
