That's why young people are talking about Omega 3 Krill with Astaxanthin

If you follow TikTok or have teenagers at home, you may have noticed: Omega 3 Krill with Astaxanthin has become a real trend – and it's not just about diet, but about skin health . Yes, you read that right: An Omega 3 supplement has become a beauty routine among many young people!

What is the hype about?

On TikTok, videos are shared by young people who have received:

  • More glow in the skin
  • Minor blemishes and redness
  • Softer and more moisturized skin
    ...after using krill oil with astaxanthin for a few weeks.

This actually matches what we also see among our customers – both young and old. Omega 3 is not only good for the heart and joints. It is also the key to healthier skin – from the inside out .

Krill oil is unique

Most people know that Omega 3 is important, but not all forms of Omega 3 are absorbed equally well in the body . What makes krill oil unique is how the fatty acids are bound up .

1. Phospholipids – the body's own "transportation"

In regular fish oil, Omega 3 fatty acids are mainly bound to triglycerides . This requires more breakdown and processing in the digestive tract before the body can use them. In krill oil , however, Omega 3 fatty acids are bound to phospholipids – the same type of fat that is already found in the body’s cell membranes. This allows the body to:

  • recognizes and absorbs them faster
  • can more easily transport them to the cells – including skin cells

Several studies have shown that Omega 3 from krill oil provides higher levels of EPA and DHA in the blood than the equivalent amount from fish oil (e.g. Maki et al., 2009, Lipids in Health and Disease ).

2. More gentle on the stomach – and no "fishy taste"

Because krill oil doesn't float like fish oil often does, you avoid discomfort like regurgitation or an aftertaste. This makes it easier for many people to use the supplement daily and consistently – which is important for noticing effects over time.


Why does this matter for the skin?

Omega 3's ability to support the skin's moisture balance and elasticity depends on the fatty acids actually reaching the skin cells, so that the skin retains moisture better and becomes less vulnerable . Therefore, it is a great advantage that krill oil:

  • is more easily absorbed
  • penetrates cells more quickly
  • effectively reduces inflammation

The result for many is smoother, calmer and more resilient skin – from within. Astaxanthin is also a natural antioxidant that gives krill its red color – and which protects the skin from wear and tear, stress and premature aging.

Research shows:

Better skin elasticity and moisture

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition showed that daily intake of 4 mg of astaxanthin for 6 weeks improved skin elasticity and moisture in middle-aged women. bonaloka.cz +2 thetimes.co.uk +2 echlorial.com +2

Another study demonstrated that astaxanthin reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increased skin moisture levels, indicating improved skin barrier function. kaya.in +2 mdpi.com +2 denkingredients.de +2

Less redness and sun damage

Research published in Nutrients showed that astaxanthin increased the skin's resistance to UV radiation. The study also showed that astaxanthin reduced skin moisture loss after UV exposure. mdpi.com +1 pdfs.semanticscholar.org +1

Additionally, astaxanthin has been shown to reduce UV-induced inflammation and protect against oxidative stress, helping to prevent sun damage and premature skin aging.

Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

A study of 49 middle-aged women showed that daily intake of 4 mg of astaxanthin for 6 weeks led to a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improved skin elasticity. thetimes.co.uk +2 bonaloka.cz +2 magistralbr.caldic.com +2

Further research has confirmed that astaxanthin can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of age-related skin changes, including wrinkles and age spots. antpublisher.com
