Cold extraction

Patented production method

NKO® krill oil uses a gentle, patented cold extraction process that guarantees intact maintenance of all the nutrients in the oil. This extraction technology relies solely on low temperature and efficient fractionation methods that remove unwanted salts and other polar constituents. It increases the relative amount of phospholipids by mechanically removing triglycerides. None of these processes involves the use of other solvents besides ethanol and water.

NKO® technology guarantee you a product of the highest quality and purity with high levels of nutrient concentration.

NKO® krill oil is processed in our 180,000 square foot NSF GMP facility in Houston, TX, using one of the best quality standards in the industry.

Transparent and traceable value chain

 NKO benefits from a transparent and traceable value chain, from Antarctic harvesting through production and delivery to customers worldwide. Today, krill harvesting is carried out by Aker QRILL Company, a sister company within the Aker group, while Aker BioMarine continues to deliver high-quality krill oil ingredient solutions to the market. 

 

Why choose NKO by Aker BioMarine?

Sustainable and traceable

Traceability and sustainability are a central part of our approach. Specialized harvesting vessels record the exact location of each krill catch, which is then associated with each batch of krill oil produced. This helps ensure that the origin of our krill oil can be traced back to its harvesting location.

Consumers increasingly expect transparency around where products come from and how they are sourced. Our traceability tools help customers verify origin and strengthen confidence in the quality, sourcing and integrity of the krill oil they use.

WHY CHOOSE NKO BY AKER BIOMARINE?

NKO krill oil is certified by Friends of the Sea

The vast majority of krill oil comes from the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, which is controlled by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).

The 25-member-country convention requires every fishing boat to be licensed and sets strict limits on how they fish and how much they catch. The CCAMLR allows licensed krill operators in the Antarctic to collectively catch a limit of 620,000 tons of krill (around 1 percent of the total biomass) annually. That limit has never been reached.

The krill fishery is considered to be one of the most regulated and sustainable fishery in the world. NKO® is certified for sustainability by the nonprofit marine conservation group Friend of the Sea.
