How is krill oil processed?

Krill oil is typically extracted from small crustaceans known as krill, primarily harvested from cold ocean waters. The processing involves catching the krill, followed by immediate cooking and pressing to release the oil. The oil is then refined through filtration and purification processes to remove impurities and ensure high-quality omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, along with antioxidants like astaxanthin. Finally, the oil is packaged for distribution, often in softgel form or as a liquid supplement.
