Oxyprolane Omega-3 Krill is a dietary supplement made from Antarctic krill oil, which provides omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), phospholipids, and choline. Oxyprolane Omega-3 Krill provides EPA and DHA, which contribute to normal heart function.
Oxyprolane Omega-3 Krill is a dietary supplement in capsule form made with Superba Boost® concentrated krill oil, extracted fromEuphausia superba, a small crustacean found in the cold waters of Antarctica. This oil provides long-chain marine omega-3s—EPA and DHA—along with phospholipids and choline. It thus offers an alternative to fish oil—the most common source in our omega-3 dietary supplements—for those seeking a regular intake of these fatty acids.
EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function. The beneficial effect is obtained through daily consumption of 250 mg of EPA and DHA: two capsules provide 260 mg, while a single capsule does not meet this threshold. This formula is primarily intended for adults who rarely eat fatty fish, the main dietary source of these two omega-3 fatty acids.
Choline supports normal lipid metabolism and helps maintain normal liver function. Two capsules provide 82 mg of choline, which occurs naturally in krill oil. This is the second key component of the formula: a single oil combines marine omega-3s with this nutrient, eliminating the need for multiple supplements at breakfast.
Choline supports the normal metabolism of homocysteine, an amino acid that the body constantly produces and recycles through its metabolic processes. This concentrated oil fits into a heart-healthy lifestyle, alongside regular physical activity and a diet that emphasizes omega-3-rich oils, such as canola or walnut oil.
The formula does not contain any B vitamins. However, thiamine supports normal heart function. For this reason, we recommend B Complex Pure Encapsulation, whose daily capsule provides 3.3 mg of thiamine—three times the Reference Intake—along with the other B vitamins: it supplements the intake of EPA and DHA with a nutrient missing from this oil, without adding omega-3.
Directions for Use
Take 1 to 2 capsules daily with a glass of water, preferably in the morning with breakfast.

The first question we ask before recommending this oil concerns seafood. Krill is a crustacean, part of the same large family as shrimp: many people with shellfish allergies don’t make the connection; the fish-based gelatin coating also rules out those with fish allergies. Next comes our section on precautions regarding blood-thinning medications, which you should review along with your prescription.
Start with one to two capsules, depending on your diet. If fatty fish rarely appears on your menu, taking two capsules meets the threshold for the heart health claim; if you already eat it weekly, one capsule supplements your intake without doubling the cost. Finally, consider the omega-3s you may already be taking under a different name: cod liver oil or a “heart” supplement can be added to this regimen.
What’s the difference between Oxyprolane Omega-3 Krill and fish oil?
Both provide EPA and DHA of marine origin. In krill oil, a significant portion of these omega-3s is bound to phospholipids—the building blocks of cell membranes—whereas they are present in a different form in fish oil. Conversely, concentrated fish oil often provides more EPA and DHA per capsule. The choice therefore comes down to the form and source—crustaceans or fish—rather than the quantity.
Why is the oil in my Oxyprolane Omega-3 Krill capsules red?
Its color comes from astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment that krill obtain from the microalgae they feed on and which also gives salmon its flesh its color. This pigment is naturally present in krill oil: it is not listed as an added ingredient, and its content is not specified for this formula.
How long should I take Oxyprolane Omega-3 Krill?
The recommended course of treatment lasts three months and can be repeated. Omega-3s are gradually incorporated into cell membranes, so taking them regularly over several weeks is more effective than taking them sporadically. At two capsules per day, a three-month course corresponds to three pill organizers.
Omega 6 (linoleic acid) and omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid) polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential because our bodies cannot synthesise them. Omega 6 is found in certain vegetable oils, meat, fish, eggs, butter and cheese, while omega 3 is found in certain vegetable oils, oily fish, chia seeds, flax seeds and purslane. Omega 6 promotes inflammation and coagulation, while omega 3…

What is Omega 3? Oily fish contains unsaturated fats which are called fatty acids or Omega 3. In fact, these Omega 3 fatty acids may be beneficial to heart health. These…
Read the article on the blogOmega-3s are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids that play a crucial role in various biological functions. In addition to their well-established benefits for cardiovascular and brain health, recent research suggests that omega-3s may have anabolic properties, of particular interest for muscle health. This article explores the mechanisms by which omega-3s can influence protein synthesis and potentially act as a natural anabolic…
