About our certified-sustainable krill oil
You may have heard concerns about the wisdom of harvesting krill, most of which goes to farmed fish.
The Marine Stewardship Council certifies as sustainable the krill harvest from the single company that supplies our krill oil, only after considering the impacts of the harvest on the krill population and animals that depend on them for food.
The specific commercial harvest that supplies all of the krill oil in our supplements is a tiny proportion of the internationally agreed limit.
The current total krill harvest is below 160,000 tons per year, versus the highly conservative limit of about 3.5 million tons per year, set by the international Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
The total allowable catch is calculated after subtracting the portion of krill eaten by whales, seals, penguins, and other animals.
