natAmour® Calanus oil

natAmour® Calanus oil – unique omega-3 oil with wax esters, policosanols and astaxanthin

Calanus oil the slightly different oil - what makes it so special?

The oil is extracted from Calanus finmarchicus, a copepod that occurs en masse in the zooplankton of the oceans. The oil extracted from Calanus finmarchicus has its characteristic red color due to the fat-soluble red-orange carotenoid pigment astaxanthin, which is often found in marine life.

This red oil is rich in a special form of omega-3 fatty acids. Instead of the triglyceride and phospholipid forms of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in fish oils, the omega-3 fatty acids in calanus oil are present as wax esters. This gives Calanus oil a unique biochemical composition compared to conventional oils such as fish oil or krill oil.

Advantages of Calanus oil

This unique composition of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of wax esters in Calanus oil provides a special source of important omega-3 fatty acids (DHA/EPA).

Wax esters: Wax esters are unique lipids consisting of fatty acids and fatty alcohols that dominate Zooca® Calanus oil and offer special benefits that other marine oils cannot match.

EPA ,DHA, SDA Stearidonic acid Wax esters: serve as a source of omega-3 fatty acids

Policosanole: The only commercially available source from the sea.

Astaxanthin: Highest content of all marine oils, making it the most powerful natural antioxidant among marine oils on the market. Gives Calanus its dark red color and protects the oil from UV radiation.

The following studies were carried out:

  • Clinical safety study showed no side effects with Calanus oil supplementation [1]
