Bio-Recherche — Omega 3 Krill BT60

The main difference between krill oil and fish oil is not the source of EPA and DHA—it's the chemical form in which these fatty acids are bound. In fish oil, EPA and DHA are in triglyceride (TG) form and require an intestinal lipolysis step before incorporation into micelles. In Superba Boost® krill oil, they are bound to phospholipids (PL), which are incorporated directly into lipid micelles without prior hydrolysis. Several bioavailability studies published in peer-reviewed journals have shown better plasma incorporation of krill omega-3s at equivalent doses in mg of EPA+DHA. This difference does not change the EU regulatory thresholds for claims—which remain expressed in mg of EPA+DHA/day—but it is clinically relevant to justify a slightly lower dosage. A regulatory point to clarify in Paradermia communication: the EU claims for this product require 2 capsules per day, not 1. Each capsule provides approximately 225 mg EPA+DHA (calculated from the pregnancy ceiling of 450 mg at 2 caps). The dose of one capsule is below the 250 mg threshold required for the cardiovascular claim (EU 432/2012). To benefit from all heart (EPA+DHA) and liver (choline) claims, the dose of 2 capsules/day is necessary—as explicitly specified by the manufacturer for the liver claim. This point is not highlighted in Bio-Recherche communication—clarified here for Paradermia. Choline is naturally present in krill oil. It benefits from two authorized EU claims: "Choline contributes to normal liver function" and "Choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism"—these two claims make this supplement the only omega-3 in the Paradermia catalog to cover the hepatic axis. Astaxanthin is an antioxidant carotenoid naturally present in krill—no authorized EU health claim, but documented as a lipophilic antioxidant particularly suited for protecting membrane lipids. Mandatory double allergen: krill (Euphausia superba) is a CRUSTACEAN, a distinct allergen from fish. The capsule is made of fish gelatin. This product therefore contains two mandatory declared allergens: crustaceans and fish. Any patient allergic to either is contraindicated. The contraindication is broader than for fish omega-3s alone. The positioning in the CALM, REPAIR, and SAFE packs is consistent: omega-3 phospholipids are integrated into keratinocyte membranes and modulate membrane fluidity and cutaneous inflammatory response—relevant for sensitive (SAFE) and reactive (CALM/REPAIR) skin.
