NOW Krill Oil 500 mg Softgels — Phospholipid-Bound Omega-3 with Astaxanthin, 120 ct for Cardiovascular & Joint Support

This concentrated krill oil supplement provides NKO® phospholipid-bound omega-3s sourced from Antarctic krill, offering a different molecular form of EPA and DHA than typical fish oils. Each softgel contains naturally occurring astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant found in krill, and the formula is manufactured under third-party quality standards to limit contaminants. NOW’s Krill Oil is Friend of the Sea certified, non-GMO, and produced in GMP-assured facilities so you can include it in your routine with confidence in sourcing and testing.

How does krill oil differ from standard fish oil?

Krill oil binds omega-3s to phospholipids rather than triglycerides, which may influence how these fatty acids are carried in the body. This phospholipid-bound form is what sets NKO® krill oil apart and supports its reputation for good absorption. Krill oil also naturally contains astaxanthin, a pigment that provides antioxidant benefits and contributes to the oil’s reddish hue.

• Phospholipid-bound EPA and DHA, not triglyceride-bound
• Contains natural astaxanthin for antioxidant support
• Distinct fatty acid profile compared with common fish oil supplements

What benefits can I expect when taking NOW Krill Oil?

This product is formulated to support general cardiovascular and joint nourishment as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle. Clinical studies on NKO® show outcomes related to joint comfort and maintenance of healthy lipid levels already within normal ranges. While individual results vary, many choose krill oil for its combined omega-3 and antioxidant content.

• Supports cardiovascular health as part of diet and exercise
• Helps maintain joint comfort and mobility support
• Includes astaxanthin, which contributes antioxidant activity

Is NOW Krill Oil sustainably sourced and tested for purity?

Yes — the krill used in this product is harvested under Friend of the Sea standards and the finished softgels are produced in GMP-certified facilities. NOW tests for heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins to ensure contaminant levels remain below safety thresholds. The company’s in-house labs and third-party validations support consistent quality across batches.
