Not surely the exact species. I read that there are 85 species of Krill, and the Antarctic krill species are the best. NOW claims they use the Anrarctic Krill. NOW has a FAQ on their site re:Krill, and I have just contacted them directly about this. I do know one thing: I have used Krill Oil for anumber of years, and NOW's version is very reliable. Because of a price special, I tried another very popular brand for about six months. I had to return 1/3 of the bottles as the Krill caps had leaked and ruined the rest of the caps in the bottle. In the bottles that had not leaked, the capsules still gave me that yucky old fish aftertaste. i went back to NOW, and I am very pleased with their Krill. Have a healthy day!

I only know that NKO is the best of all krill oils but NOW is often stale and smelly.

A. Hoffman - will you please explain your claim of the Omegawise Krill oil being a terrible product which should be avoided at all costs. It seems a bit trite to make such a strong statement with no explanation.

Hi Leah H., Our krill are harvested in the Southern Ocean around the Antarctic continent from deep, pristine waters. Due to the growing popularity of krill oil, several countries formed a treaty organization known as the "Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources" to ensure that krill were being harvested sustainably. This international effort protects krill fishery, providing limits on catching and scientific observation. Once our krill are caught, they are immediately processed on board our ship, eliminating the possibility of decomposition and ensuring krill are fresh and high in potency. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.

Krill oil contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin. The algae that krill eat produce the bright red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans such as lobster and shrimp their reddish-pink color. That doesn't explain why color is added. For additional information call 1-877-6-HERBAL (43-7225). This number is on the bottle of Krill Oil.

Sorry that I can't answer your immediate question, but check out this site. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/14/is-krill-oil-48-times-better-than-fish-oil.aspxI don't know if it's a truthful review or biased in some way. I have taken the krill oil for the last several months and I feel better than ever. I even cut back to 1 capsule a day. The problem is omega 3 is a product that works in the background and doesn't present immediate benefits. So whether it's the krill oil or something else, I can't be certain.You might investigate web sites to get a better response to your question.

Krill oil does not have a fishy after taste or fishy burps. I hope this helps.

The label does not say, but I'm pretty sure it is sourced from Maine Coast Sea Veg brand, which would make it laminaria digitata.

According to the Nordic Naturals website, "Made from 100% wild Arctic cod (Skrei)-no other fish oils or synthetic additives are ever used." It is also non-GMO verified. It does not "repeat" on you... no fishy taste! My Natruopath recommended this brand because the way this company processes the gels does not turn the oil rancid, which is what causes the fishy taste.

I just received a re-supply and the label indicates that the capsule is made from plant cellulose. During the time when their plant was out of commission,, NGK was buying their krill oil from a different manufacturer.

I recently contacted the company about this. The product is certified pure and potent by NSF. The product is certified sustainable by the Alaska Seafood Board. They do not currently have an MSC certification.

It says it is from organic kelp that is all I know. I only take it sporatically, so I really don't know what to tell you.

Of course. This one is derived from shellfish. See UPC code 733739032386. You might also consider Glucosamine and Chondroitin. UPC 733739032294
