Advances in Technologies for Highly Active Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Krill Oil: Clinical Applications
Euphausia superba , commonly known as krill, is a small marine crustacean from the Antarctic Ocean that plays an important role in the marine ecosystem, serving as feed for most fish. It is a known source of highly bioavailable omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahex...
