✅ **Contains 1000mg of Antarctic Krill Oil Extract in 3 Softgels**
Doctor Krill 1000 contains 335mg of krill oil per softgel. Therefore, by taking 3 softgels per day, you can consume over 1000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids, as recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. (Reference: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2010)") According to the "National Health and Nutrition Survey Report 2012" published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, consumption of fish and shellfish has decreased by approximately 24% between 2000 and 2012. Omega-3 fatty acids are nutrients for which the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has set intake goals, as they are components that Japanese people should increase their intake of.

✅ **Antarctic Krill, Raised in Chemically Unpolluted Waters, Accumulates Fewer Harmful Substances**
The Antarctic Ocean, where the krill used as raw material for Doctor Krill 1000 inhabits, is said to be one of the least chemically polluted waters on Earth. Krill in this clean Antarctic sea primarily consume the primary production energy from sunlight generated by phytoplankton, meaning they do not have a cycle for accumulating impurities. As Antarctic krill, the source of krill oil, are at the bottom of the food chain supporting various marine life, they are less prone to biomagnification through the food chain and are said to accumulate fewer harmful substances.

✅ **Key Differences Between Fish Oil and Krill Oil**
Fish oil is extracted from fish such as blue-backed fish, while krill oil is extracted from Antarctic krill. Fish oil is generally a yellowish oil, but krill oil is red due to astaxanthin. While Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are also found in fish oil, krill oil contains significantly more phospholipids than fish oil. These phospholipids act as emulsifiers, increasing water solubility. DHA and EPA in krill oil are more water-soluble than those in fish oil.

✅ **Easy-to-Swallow Softgels with Odor Removed**
Many foreign supplements have high content per softgel, but are often criticized for their large size, making them difficult to swallow. Even if swallowed, some people report a lingering sensation of the capsule getting stuck in their throat. Therefore, Doctor Krill 1000's softgels are designed to be an easily swallowable size for Japanese people, who have narrower throats compared to foreigners. Furthermore, krill oil derived from Antarctic krill has a distinct, strong odor. Doctor Krill 1000 has successfully contained this odor within the softgel. As a result, there is no odor when the package is opened, making it convenient to carry to work or while traveling.

✅ **Astaxanthin in Krill Oil Supports the Function of DHA and EPA**
Krill oil is red due to the red parts of Antarctic krill, which contain astaxanthin. Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family, like lycopene in tomatoes and beta-carotene in carrots, and is known for its high reducing power. Astaxanthin is gaining attention due to experimental results suggesting its reducing power is about 40 times that of beta-carotene and about 1000 times that of vitamin E. The presence of astaxanthin is another significant difference compared to other fish oils. Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are inherently prone to oxidation, but the presence of astaxanthin effectively supports the power of DHA and EPA.
