The majority of products sold on Vitabiotics.com have a minimum of at least six months until their best before date, usually much longer. Occasionally we do offer a limited range of products, such as this one, with a shorter shelf life, typically between 3-6 months, at a discounted price.

Ultra Red Krill Oil is a superior source of Omega-3 with high concentration marine phospholipids which means it is more easily absorbed by the body. Ultra Red Krill Oil has no unpleasant fishy odour, taste or aftertaste.

Ultra Red Krill provides Omega-3, a rich source of the essential fatty acids DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) to help maintain normal health and wellbeing:

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision & brain function ¹ 
DHA and EPA contribute to the normal function of the heart ² 

Ultra Red Krill Oil offers an alternative source of Omega-3 with additional benefits. Ultra Red Krill Oil has been shown to have the same benefits as fish oil Omega-3 with better efficiency due to the presence of phospholipids, and no fishy odour or reflux.  

Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) are “essential” fatty acids because they cannot be made by the body efficiently and therefore must be obtained from the diet. Eating a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids or by taking a supplement such as Vitabiotics' Ultra Red Krill Oil, may help to safeguard the body's requirement for Omega-3 fatty acids.  

Harvested in some of the world's cleanest waters, Krill oil is pollutant free with the naturally occurring Astaxanthin giving the oil a deep red colour. The presence of Astaxanthin also helps to keep the Krill oil stable without the need of additives, protecting the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids from becoming rancid due to oxidisation. Ultra Red Krill is 100% pure and unlike some Krill oils is not blended with ordinary fish oil. 

Ultra Red Krill Oil is recommended as a nutritional safeguard. A general decline in oily fish consumption among the population means that many individuals may be advised to take an Omega-3 supplement to help safeguard their intake of essential fatty acids to support their health. Ultra Red Krill Oil may be of particular interest to those individuals with concerns about their heart, brain and vision as it contains DHA which contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and brain function, plus DHA and EPA which contribute to the normal function of the heart. 

During pregnancy, we recommend supplements specially formulated for this time, such as Vitabiotics' Pregnacare Plus [NG1] - the original Pregnacare tablets containing a careful combination of 19 vitamins and minerals, along with specially formulated Omega-3 capsules for pregnancy (with 300mg DHA), designed for use from before conception, throughout pregnancy and whilst breast-feeding.

Difficulty in swallowing tablets and capsules is quite a common experience. Vitabiotics have researched this extensively and recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop it into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider to swallow the chewed food and so it should go down with greater ease. Alternatively, it may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies.
