Aker BioMarine Human Ingredients AS

Aker BioMarine is a Norwegian biotechnology company recognized as the world's leading supplier of krill-derived ingredients for human health and nutrition. Founded on the conviction that krill offers significant and measurable health benefits, the company has grown into a global player in the omega-3 and marine ingredient space, supplying branded ingredient products to nutraceutical, dietary supplement, and functional food manufacturers worldwide. Its flagship ingredient line, Superba Krill, delivers phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids — including EPA and DHA — which scientific research suggests are absorbed more efficiently by the body compared to conventional fish oil-derived omega-3s. The company also produces Lysoveta, a specialized krill oil product shown in clinical studies to deliver EPA and DHA directly to the brain, positioning it as a premium ingredient for cognitive health applications. Aker BioMarine operates its own Antarctic krill fishing fleet, giving it full vertical integration from harvest to finished ingredient — a significant differentiator in the marine ingredient market. The Antarctic krill fishery from which the company sources is managed under strict international frameworks, and has been recognized by the UN FAO as a global benchmark for sustainable fisheries. The company holds certifications including Friend of the Sea (FoS), underscoring its commitment to responsible sourcing practices. Research and scientific validation are central to the company's commercial strategy; Aker BioMarine collaborates with academic institutions and leading research organizations to generate clinical evidence supporting the health claims associated with krill oil supplementation. Areas of focus include cardiovascular health, brain and cognitive function, healthy aging, inflammation reduction, and the prevention of lifestyle diseases. With over 1.6 billion doses of Superba Krill sold worldwide in a single year, the company's ingredients reach millions of consumers globally through partner brands.
