`
`FAQs Regarding Krill Oil
`What is Krill?
`
`Answer: Krill is a small shimp-like crustacean. It is the most important zooplankton species associated with the sea ice and plays a key role
`in the Antarctic food web. Each krill consists of about 15% high quality protein containing vital amino acids and about 3% fat and vitamins. It
`also supplies minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and calcium. It is very nutritious and a natural source of energy.
`
`How is Krill Oil made?
`
`Answer: Krill are caught in the clear Antarctic Ocean and are processed within one hour and packed onboard specially equipped ships to
`ensure freshness, taste and superlative quality.
`

`
`
`FAQs Regarding Dietary Suppliments and Omega-3s
`Where can I find information about taking natural products, or dietary supplements?
`
`Answer: Before starting any supplement it is wise to speak with your doctor or pharmacist. See our studies section for more information on
`articles concerning Omega-3s. As well visit the FDA's website regarding Dietary Suppliments for further information:
`http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-oview.html
`
`Are there any interactions with vitamins and minerals or drugs that I should be aware of if I am taking Omega-3 suppliments?
`
`Answer: The omega-3 polyunsaturates are components of foods and as such not likely to interact with drugs, though it is difficult to be exact
`since there are so many drugs being launched all the time. If you are taking any drug on the recommendation of a physician it would be wise
`to inform him or her when next you visit. There are no known interactions with vitamins or minerals.
`
`Do I need to take Vitamin E if I am adding an Omega-3 suppliment to my diet?
`
`Answer: It is a good idea to ensure a good intake of vitamin E if you are going to take an omega-3 supplement. Antartica Select Krill Oil an
`adequate level of vitamin E, so you need not take any extra.
`
`What is the recommended amount of Omega-3 I should be consuming in my diet?
`
`Answer: The American Heart Association has published it's guide to taking Omega-3s. See their information at:
`http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4632. As well this article is useful for guidelines to proper consumption of Omega-3:

`Glossary of Terms
`All terms below were obtained from Wikipedia, a free-content encyclopedia
`
`Antioxidants
`
`An antioxidant is a chemical that prevents the oxidation of other chemicals. In biological systems, the normal processes of oxidation (plus a
`minor contribution from ionizing radiation) produce highly reactive free radicals. These can readily react with and damage other molecules: in
`some cases the body uses this to fight infection. In other cases, the damage may be to the body's own cells. The presence of extremely
`easily oxidisable compounds in the system can "mop up" free radicals before they damage other essential molecules. The following vitamins
`have shown positive antioxidant effects: Retinol (Vitamin A or beta-carotene), Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), Vitamin E (tocopherol), Selenium.
`
`Astaxanthin
`
`Immune-supporting carotenoid, which can be used to guard your cell membranes from free radical damage. Astaxanthin is the chemical that
`gives lobsters, shrimp, and some crabs their red color when they are cooked.
`
`Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
`
`A polyunsaturated fatty acid composed of 22 carbon atoms and six double bonds. Because the first double bond, as counted from the methyl
`terminus, is at position three, it belongs to the Omega-3 group.
`
`Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
`
`A major component of fish oil. It is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid of the n-3 or omega-3 type. EPA is an all cis polyunsaturated fatty
`acid containing 20 carbons and 5 double bonds.
`
`Essential Fatty Acids
`
`Fatty acids that are required in the human diet. This means they cannot be synthesized by the body from other fatty acids and must be
`obtained from food. These fatty acids were originally designated as Vitamin F, until it was realized that they must be classified with the fats.
`
`Krill
`
`The Norwegian word for whale food. It is also used as synonym for euphausiids, which are shrimp-like marine invertebrates, important
`organisms of the plankton (zooplankton). In the literal sense “krill” is used as common name for the most spectacular species: the Antarctic
`Krill (Euphausia superba) of the Antarctic waters in the Southern Ocean. It is an euphausiid. Krill live in large schools (swarms) and convert
`the primary production directly into a relatively large animal. They grow to a length of 6 cm, weigh 2 grammes, and live probably for 6 years.
`Krill is the keystone species of the ecosystem of Antarctica, and is an important food organism for whales, seals, Leopard Seals, fur seals,
`Crabeater Seals, squid, icefish, penguins, albatrosses and many other birds. Their biomass is estimated to be between 100 and 800 million
`tonnes, making E. superba probably the most successful animal on the planet; for comparison, the total non-krill yield from all world fisheries
`is about 100 million tonnes per year. The fishery of krill is on the order of 90,000 tonnes per year.
`
`Linolenic Acid
`
`An 18-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid with three double bonds. The isomer called alpha-linolenic acid, an Omega-3 fatty acid, is essential
`for all mammals. Alpha-linolenic acid has been associated with reduced cardiovascular risk through reduced cardiac arrythmias and reduced
`carotid arteriosclerosis; however, epidemiology has also linked alpha-linolenic acid with rapidly progressing prostate cancer and macular
`degeneration. Another isomer of linolenic acid is gamma-linolenic acid, an Omega-6 fatty acid which is the product of desaturation of Linoleic
`acid. This fatty acid is rare in food, and is sometimes taken as an oil supplement because its elongation product, di-homo gamma linolenic
`acid, is an important constituent of cell membrane phospholids in its role as precursor to the series-1 eicosonoids.
`
`Omega-3
`
`Polyunsaturated fatty acids found in certain fish tissues, and in vegetable sources such as flax seeds, walnuts, and canola oil. Omega-3 fatty
`acids are classed as essential fatty acids. The term "omega-3" signifies that the first double bond in the carbon backbone of the fatty acid,
`counting from the end opposite the acid group, occurs in the third carbon-carbon bond. Like alle polyunsaturated fatty acids, the Omega-3
`fatty acids have minimum 2 and maximum 6 double bounds in a carbon chain that ranges from 18 until 22 carbon atoms. Common omega-3
`fatty acids in the body are (alpha)linolenic acid (18:3), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5) , docosahexaenoic acid (22:6). Gamma-linolenic acid is
`an omega-6 fatty acid.
`
`Phospholipids
`
`A phospholipid is a lipid that is a primary component of cell membranes. Phospholipids consist of a water-soluble head (a positively charged
`(polar) group), linked to two water-insoluble nonpolar tails (by a negatively charged phosphate group). Both tails consist of a fatty acid, each
`14-24 carbon groups long.

`
`
`
`
`What is a dietary supplement?
`
`Congress defined the term "dietary supplement" in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. A dietary supplement is a
`product taken by mouth that contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to supplement the diet. The "dietary ingredients" in these products may include:
`vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, glandulars, and metabolites. Dietary
`supplements can also be extracts or concentrates, and may be found in many forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, liquids, or powders.
`They can also be in other forms, such as a bar, but if they are, information on their label must not represent the product as a conventional food or a sole
`item of a meal or diet. Whatever their form may be, DSHEA places dietary supplements in a special category under the general umbrella of "foods,"
`not drugs, and requires that every supplement be labeled a dietary supplement.
`
`What is a "new dietary ingredient" in a dietary supplement?
`
`The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 defined both of the terms "dietary ingredient" and "new dietary ingredient" as
`components of dietary supplements. In order for an ingredient of a dietary supplement to be a "dietary ingredient," it must be one or any combination
`of the following substances:
`
`a vitamin,
`a mineral,
`an herb or other botanical,
`an amino acid,
`a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake (e.g., enzymes or tissues from organs or glands),
`or
`a concentrate, metabolite, constituent or extract.
`
`A "new dietary ingredient" is one that meets the above definition for a "dietary ingredient" and was not sold in the U.S. in a dietary supplement before
`October 15, 1994.
`
`What is FDA's role in regulating dietary supplements versus the manufacturer's responsibility for marketing them?
`
`In October 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was signed into law by President Clinton. Before this time, dietary
`supplements were subject to the same regulatory requirements as were other foods. This new law, which amended the Federal Food, Drug, and
`Cosmetic Act, created a new regulatory framework for the safety and labeling of dietary supplements.
`
`Under DSHEA, a firm is responsible for determining that the dietary supplements it manufactures or distributes are safe and that any representations or
`claims made about them are substantiated by adequate evidence to show that they are not false or misleading. This means that dietary supplements do
`not need approval from FDA before they are marketed. Except in the case of a new dietary ingredient, where pre-market review for safety data and
`other information is required by law, a firm does not have to provide FDA with the evidence it relies on to substantiate safety or effectiveness before or
`after it markets its products.
`
`Also, manufacturers do not need to register themselves nor their dietary supplement products with FDA before producing or selling them. Currently,
`there are no FDA regulations that are specific to dietary supplements that establish a minimum standard of practice for manufacturing dietary
`supplements. However, FDA intends to issue regulations on good manufacturing practices that will focus on practices that ensure the identity, purity,
`quality, strength and composition of dietary supplements. At present, the manufacturer is responsible for establishing its own manufacturing practice
`guidelines to ensure that the dietary supplements it produces are safe and contain the ingredients listed on the label.
`When must a manufacturer or distributor notify FDA about a dietary supplement it intends to market in the U.S.?
`
`The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) requires that a manufacturer or distributor notify FDA if it intends to market a dietary
`supplement in the U.S. that contains a "new dietary ingredient." The manufacturer (and distributor) must demonstrate to FDA why the ingredient is
`reasonably expected to be safe for use in a dietary supplement, unless it has been recognized as a food substance and is present in the food supply.
`
`There is no authoritative list of dietary ingredients that were marketed before October 15, 1994. Therefore, manufacturers and distributors are
`responsible for determining if a dietary ingredient is "new", and if it is not, for documenting that the dietary supplements its sells, containing the
`dietary ingredient, were marketed before October 15, 1994. For more detailed information on new dietary ingredients, go to:
`http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-ingrd.html.
`
`What information must the manufacturer disclose on the label of a dietary supplement?

`

`FDA/CFSAN Overview of Dietary Supplements
`10/6/2017
`FDA regulations require that certain information appear on dietary supplement labels. Information that must be on a dietary supplement label includes:
`a descriptive name of the product stating that it is a "supplement;" the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor; a
`complete list of ingredients; and the net contents of the product.
`
`In addition, each dietary supplement (except for some small volume products or those produced by eligible small businesses) must have nutrition
`labeling in the form of a
`
`"Supplement Facts" panel. This label must identify each dietary ingredient contained in the product.
`
`Must all ingredients be declared on the label of a dietary supplement?
`
`Yes, ingredients not listed on the "Supplement Facts" panel must be listed in the "other ingredient" statement beneath the panel. The types of
`ingredients listed there could include the source of dietary ingredients, if not identified in the "Supplement Facts" panel (e.g., rose hips as the source of
`vitamin C), other food ingredients (e.g., water and sugar), and technical additives or processing aids (e.g., gelatin, starch, colors, stabilizers,
`preservatives, and flavors). For more details, see: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/fr97923a.html.
`
`Are dietary supplement serving sizes standardized or are there restrictions on the amount of a nutrient that can be in one
`serving?
`
`Other than the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure safety, there are no rules that limit a serving size or the amount of a nutrient in any form of
`dietary supplements. This decision is made by the manufacturer and does not require FDA review or approval.
`
`Where can I get information about a specific dietary supplement?
`
`Manufacturers and distributors do not need FDA approval to sell their dietary supplements. This means that FDA does not keep a list of manufacturers,
`distributors or the dietary supplement products they sell. If you want more detailed information than the label tells you about a specific product, you
`may contact the manufacturer of that brand directly. The name and address of the manufacturer or distributor can be found on the label of the dietary
`supplement.
`
`Who has the responsibility for ensuring that a dietary supplement is safe?
`
`By law (DSHEA), the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that its dietary supplement products are safe before they are marketed. Unlike drug
`products that must be proven safe and effective for their intended use before marketing, there are no provisions in the law for FDA to "approve" dietary
`supplements for safety or effectiveness before they reach the consumer. Also unlike drug products, manufacturers and distributors of dietary
`supplements are not currently required by law to record, investigate or forward to FDA any reports they receive of injuries or illnesses that may be
`related to the use of their products. Under DSHEA, once the product is marketed, FDA has the responsibility for showing that a dietary supplement is
`"unsafe," before it can take action to restrict the product's use or removal from the marketplace.
`Do manufacturers or distributors of dietary supplements have to tell FDA or consumers what evidence they have about
`their product's safety or what evidence they have to back up the claims they are making for them?
`
`No, except for rules described above that govern "new dietary ingredients," there is no provision under any law or regulation that FDA enforces that
`requires a firm to disclose to FDA or consumers the information they have about the safety or purported benefits of their dietary supplement products.
`Likewise, there is no prohibition against them making this information available either to FDA or to their customers. It is up to each firm to set its own
`policy on disclosure of such information. For more information on claims that can be made for dietary supplements, see
`(http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/hclaims.html).
`
`How can consumers inform themselves about safety and other issues related to dietary supplements?
`
`It is important to be well informed about products before purchasing them. Because it is often difficult to know what information is reliable and what is
`questionable, consumers may first want to contact the manufacturer about the product they intend to purchase (see previous question "Where can I get
`information about a specific dietary supplement?"). In addition, to help consumers in their search to be better informed, FDA is providing the
`following sites: Tips For The Savvy Supplement User: Making Informed Decisions And Evaluating Information -- http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-
`savvy.html (includes information on how to evaluate research findings and health information on-line) and Claims That Can Be Made for Conventional
`Foods and Dietary Supplements -- http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/hclaims.html, (provides information on what types of claims can be made for
`dietary supplements).
`What is FDA's oversight responsibility for dietary supplements?
`
`Because dietary supplements are under the "umbrella" of foods, FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is responsible for the
`agency's oversight of these products. FDA's efforts to monitor the marketplace for potential illegal products (that is, products that may be unsafe or
`make false or misleading claims) include obtaining information from inspections of dietary supplement manufacturers and distributors, the Internet,
`consumer and trade complaints, occaisional laboratory analyses of selected products, and adverse events associated with the use of supplements that
`are reported to the agency.
`
`Does FDA routinely analyze the content of dietary supplements?
`
`In that FDA has limited resources to analyze the composition of food products, including dietary supplements, it focuses these resources first on public
`health emergencies and products that may have caused injury or illness. Enforcement priorities then go to products thought to be unsafe or fraudulent

`or in violation of the law. The remaining funds are used for routine monitoring of products pulled from store shelves or collected during inspections of
`manufacturing firms. The agency does not analyze dietary supplements before they are sold to consumers. The manufacturer is responsible for
`ensuring that the "Supplement Facts" label and ingredient list are accurate, that the dietary ingredients are safe, and that the content matches the
`amount declared on the label. FDA does not have resources to analyze dietary supplements sent to the agency by consumers who want to know their
`content. Instead, consumers may contact the manufacturer or a commercial laboratory for an analysis of the content.
`Is it legal to market a dietary supplement product as a treatment or cure for a specific disease or condition?
`
`No, a product sold as a dietary supplement and promoted on its label or in labeling* as a treatment, prevention or cure for a specific disease or
`condition would be considered an unapproved--and thus illegal--drug. To maintain the product's status as a dietary supplement, the label and labeling
`must be consistent with the provisions in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.
`
`*Labeling refers to the label as well as accompanying material that is used by a manufacturer to promote and market a specific product.
`
`Who validates claims and what kinds of claims can be made on dietary supplement labels?
`
`FDA receives many consumer inquiries about the validity of claims for dietary supplements, including product labels, advertisements, media, and
`printed materials. The responsibility for ensuring the validity of these claims rests with the manufacturer, FDA, and, in the case of advertising, with the
`Federal Trade Commission.
`
`By law, manufacturers may make three types of claims for their dietary supplement products: health claims, structure/function claims, and nutrient
`content claims. Some of these claims describe: the link between a food substance and disease or a health-related condition; the intended benefits of
`using the product; or the amount of a nutrient or dietary substance in a product. Different requirements generally apply to each type of claim, and are
`described in more detail at the following site: (http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/hclaims.html).
`
`Why do some supplements have wording (a disclaimer) that says: "This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
`This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease"?
`
`This statement or "disclaimer" is required by law (DSHEA) when a manufacturer makes a structure/function claim on a dietary supplement label. In
`general, these claims describe the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect the structure or function of the body. The manufacturer is
`responsible for ensuring the accuracy and truthfulness of these claims; they are not approved by FDA. For this reason, the law says that if a dietary
`supplement label includes such a claim, it must state in a "disclaimer" that FDA has not evaluated this claim. The disclaimer must also state that this
`product is not intended to "diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease," because only a drug can legally make such a claim.
`
`How are advertisements for dietary supplements regulated?
`
`The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates advertising, including infomercials, for dietary supplements and most other products sold to
`consumers. FDA works closely with FTC in this area, but FTC's work is directed by different laws. For more information on FTC, go to:
`http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menu-health.htm. Advertising and promotional material received in the mail are also regulated under different laws and are
`subject to regulation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
`How do I, my health care provider, or any informed individual report a problem or illness caused by a dietary
`supplement to FDA?
`
`If you think you have suffered a serious harmful effect or illness from a product FDA regulates, including dietary supplements, the first thing you
`should do is contact or see your healthcare provider immediately. Then, you and your health care provider are encouraged to report this problem to
`FDA.
`
`Your health care provider can call FDA's MedWatch hotline at 1-800-FDA-1088, submit a report by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178 or on-line at:
`http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report/hcp.htm. The MedWatch program provides a way for health care providers to report problems believed to be
`caused by FDA-regulated products such as drugs, medical devices, medical foods and dietary supplements.
`
`You, or anyone, may report a serious adverse event or illness directly to FDA if you believe it is related to the use of any of the above-mentioned
`products, by calling FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088, by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178 or reporting on-line at:
`http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report/consumer/consumer.htm. FDA would like to know when you think a product caused you a serious problem, even
`if you are not sure that the product was the cause, or even if you do not visit a doctor or clinic. In addition to communicating with FDA on-line or by
`phone, you may use the postage-paid MedWatch form available from the FDA Web site.
`
