Krill Omega-3 Gold is the new generation of Omega-3. These unsaturated fatty acids do not come from fatty fish species but are extracted from krill (Euphausia superba). Krill is a collective term for approximately 80 shrimp-like crustaceans ranging in size from one to six centimetres. They can be found in large schools in the waters around Antarctica. Krill feeds on plankton and algae that contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Krill oil is less contaminated as it stands at the bottom of the food chain and has not accumulated contaminants from the sea.
EPA and DHA
Thanks to the unique composition of krill oil, the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are absorbed effectively. A daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA has a beneficial effect on the heart. In addition, the omega-3 fish fatty acids EPA and DHA are a good addition to the diets of athletes who do not eat fish.
MSC Label – Sustainable fishing
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) label can be found on fish products originating from sustainable fishing practices. Fishermen and fisheries wishing to be awarded this label must meet the following criteria:
- No overfishing of fishery resources
- Preservation of the ecosystem
- Effective management of fishery activities.
The krill used by Virtuoos is caught by means of Eco Harvesting®, with due consideration for the ecosystem as a whole. This patented system is an environmentally-friendly krill harvesting technique. It was developed in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF-Norway). On account of this sustainable harvesting technology, Aker Biomarine has been independently certified in accordance with MSC standards.

Additional information:
Advice from the Health Council of the Netherlands: a daily intake of 200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids through food
This can be achieved by eating one serving of fish a week (Netherlands Nutrition Centre). However, half of the Dutch population only eats fish two or three times a month
The latest food consumption survey (2007–2010) showed that the intake of fish fatty acids (EPA and DHA) varied between 62 mg and 133 mg a day
Krill oil is absorbed by the body more easily than fish oil (only 2/3 of a fish oil dose required for the same effect)
According to literature, 1 to 2 grams of fish oil (EPA and DHA) will contribute to general health and counteract sports-related inflammatory reactions (Simopoulos 2007)
