Solakrill: Pure Krill Oil for Optimal Health and Complete Protection
In our modern world, a striking reality persists: according to ANSES, 90% of the French population is deficient in Omega-3 DHA and EPA, a figure that rises to nearly 95% among 18-25 year olds. These essential Omega-3s, which our body uses daily, are unfortunately absent from vegetable oils (ALA) and very poorly synthesized by the body (less than 1%). This widespread deficiency can have a significant impact on your cardiovascular health, your cognitive functions, and your joint well-being.
Faced with this public health challenge, Solakrill stands out as the natural and highly bioavailable solution to effectively compensate for this deficit. Derived from pure Krill oil (Euphausia superba), Solakrill offers you superior quality Omega-3 DHA and EPA, naturally better assimilated to fully support your body.
Why Choose Solakrill: The Exceptional Benefits of Pure Krill Oil
Krill oil is a concentrate of essential nutrients derived from this small zooplankton of Antarctic waters. Solakrill brings you a unique synergy of active ingredients for multiple health benefits:
1. Joint Support and Anti-Inflammatory Action
Solakrill Krill oil is recognized for its role in joint comfort. It helps to decrease sensitivity and improve joint flexibility, while offering natural support against inflammation. A study conducted on 90 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis demonstrated a significant reduction (30%) in CRP levels (an inflammation marker) in krill oil users, proving its effectiveness against chronic joint pain. (4)
2. Hormonal Balance and PMS Relief
Specifically beneficial for women, Solakrill helps to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menstrual pain.
A comparative study showed the superior effectiveness of krill oil compared to fish oil in alleviating discomfort related to menstruation. (5)
3. Cholesterol Regulation and Cardiovascular Health
Like all Omega-3 sources, Krill oil plays a crucial role in regulating cholesterol levels. However, Solakrill stands out for its superior effectiveness in lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. A 3-month study on 120 patients confirmed its performance in regulating these key parameters for heart health. (3)
The Omega-3 EPA and DHA present in Solakrill also contribute to cardiovascular health by thinning the blood and promoting the relaxation of blood vessel walls, which limits the risk of blood clots that can lead to strokes. A daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA (i.e., 2 capsules of Solakrill) is sufficient to benefit from these protective effects on the heart and prevent heart rhythm disorders.
4. Powerful Natural Antioxidant: Astaxanthin
Unlike most fish oils that require the addition of antioxidants to protect their Omega-3s from oxidation, Solakrill Krill oil is naturally rich in Astaxanthin, a very powerful antioxidant. Astaxanthin not only protects Omega-3s from oxidation, guaranteeing their quality, but also offers many of its own benefits:
- Overall antioxidant action, including for the brain and eyes (a rare peculiarity).
- Cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory support.
- Benefits for skin and vision.
- Improvement of physical performance.
- Neurological protection.
Solakrill stands out by containing 7 times more Astaxanthin than conventional Krill oil and even 3 times more than NKO oil, guaranteeing exceptional antioxidant protection and benefits.
Solakrill: Optimal Assimilation and Protection
1. Direct and Comfortable Assimilation
The Omega-3s in Solakrill are present in the form of phospholipids, a structure that allows for direct and rapid assimilation by the body, unlike the triglycerides in fish oils that can float and cause burping. Solakrill Krill oil is 2.5 times more assimilable than fish oil, meaning that a smaller amount of EPA and DHA from Solakrill has a greater effect. (1)
These phospholipids, similar to those in our brain, also protect our cells against oxidative stress linked to free radicals, contributing to the prevention of cellular aging.
2. Optimal Omega-3 / Omega-6 / Omega-9 Balance
Solakrill offers an ideal ratio of 15/1/6 between Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9. This Omega-3/Omega-6 balance is crucial, as our modern diet is often saturated with pro-inflammatory Omega-6s. Solakrill Krill oil allows for faster rebalancing of your body in Omega-3s than fish oil (average ratio of 5/1).
3. Advanced Capsule Protection
- Natural and odorless marine capsule: Easy to swallow, it eliminates the discomfort and fishy odor often associated with fish oils.
- Patented Licaps® technology: The Krill oil is encapsulated under vacuum, fully protecting the Omega-3s from oxidation by oxygen and water, and guaranteeing their purity and effectiveness until consumption.
- Blister packaging: Each capsule is individually protected, ensuring optimal preservation and unparalleled practicality for your travels.
4. Simplified Dosage for Maximum Assimilation
Thanks to its excellent assimilation, only two Solakrill capsules per day suffice to reach effective doses of Omega-3 EPA and DHA, where other supplements require 4 to 6 capsules. A simplified dosage makes your routine easier to follow, ensuring you don't forget your daily intake.
Solakrill: An Eco-responsible and Sustainable Choice
At Solage, the commitment to your health is accompanied by environmental responsibility. The Krill oil used in Solakrill comes from sustainable Antarctic fisheries, strictly regulated by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). Our Krill oil is Friend of the Sea® certified, guaranteeing fishing that respects the ecosystem. In addition, the small size of Krill protects it from heavy metals, PCBs, and other contaminants often found in large fish.
When to Use Solakrill: The Ideal Time for Your Omega-3s
For optimal assimilation of marine Omega-3 DHA and EPA, breakfast is the ideal time. According to the principles of food chronobiology, the body is more apt to absorb certain substances in the morning. Taking your Solakrill capsules during a well-supplied meal (lunch or dinner) containing vitamins, proteins, and minerals is also recommended to maximize fatty acid absorption. Avoid taking them with a simple snack.
Why Choose Solakrill Over a Basic Source of Omega-3?
Solakrill is more effective than fish oil:
- 2.5 times more absorbable,
- Contains phospholipids that are beneficial for brain cells,
- The antioxidant is natural, not synthetic, as it's Astaxanthin,
- Guaranteed pollutant-free,
- Also contains Choline (good for the brain), Vitamin A, and Vitamin E.
Solakrill is superior to other Krill oils:
- Solakrill contains 7 times more antioxidants compared to regular Krill oil because Solakrill’s Krill oil is produced using a patented cold extraction process that preserves the antioxidants.
The natural Astaxanthin enrichment results in an Astaxanthin level that’s 3 times higher than in NKO® oil, providing unmatched Omega-3 effectiveness.
The capsule is natural and fully protects the Krill oil from oxidation thanks to a patented process. It’s also easy to carry.
Solakrill is sold in blister packs, which protect the capsules, unlike bottles containing loose capsules. Plus, when you're on the go, a single strip of Solakrill takes up less space than a full bottle.

Why take marine omega-3 DHA and EPA at breakfast?
Chrono-nutrition, which studies the best time of day to consume certain nutrients, shows that omega-3 DHA and EPA are better absorbed during the waking phase (in the morning). This can make a significant difference, particularly in managing blood and liver triglycerides and cholesterol.
This product is not recommended for children under 3 years old, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for those taking anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists (as krill oil may enhance their effects), or for individuals allergic to shellfish.
When should you take omega-3 DHA and EPA with lunch or dinner?
If you don’t eat breakfast or only have a drink, it’s better to take your solakrill capsules with lunch or dinner.
Indeed, absorption is also closely linked to eating a full meal with some fat content.
When to Use Solakrill?
• To support heart and blood vessels in functioning normally
• To maintain or regain flexible joints (inflammation, arthritis)
• To ease discomfort before or during menstruation
• To boost memory and improve focus
• To achieve healthier skin, especially in cases of inflammation
Additional Advice
- If you have mobility issues or need to enhance your circulation, you can combine Solakrill with Curcumin Phospholipids to reduce pain, lower inflammation, and support the vessels.
- For muscle pain, you can combine Solakrill with Solquinol, which will strengthen your muscles and heart.
- If you have high blood pressure, you can pair Solakrill with Solquinol.
Phospholipids: the optimal carrier substance to transport EPA and DHA
Krill oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids derived from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).
Krill oil contains EPA and DHA in the form of phospholipids (1). Phospholipids are components found in all cell membranes, making them an ideal carrier for transporting EPA and DHA throughout the body.
Positive effects of EPA and DHA on cardiovascular health
The beneficial effects of EPA and DHA on cardiovascular health are observed at the blood vessel walls (anti-inflammatory effect, better relaxation, improved plaque stability, and reduced risk of platelet aggregation) as well as on heart function (increased heart rate variability and prevention of rhythm disturbances caused by oxygen deficiency).
Additional benefits of astaxanthin, EPA, and DHA
EPA helps stabilize mood, while DHA supports vision and brain function in both young and older individuals.
Astaxanthin (naturally present in krill oil) is an excellent filter for blue light, protecting the macula in the retina from oxidative damage caused by incident light. Astaxanthin works synergistically with the omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil.
Astaxanthin has shown stronger antioxidant power than alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein (2).
Both astaxanthin and EPA/DHA lower atherogenic LDL cholesterol, promote relaxation of blood vessel walls, and possess their own anti-inflammatory potential.
The effect of krill oil consumption on hyperlipidemia (3)
A prospective, multicenter, randomized study conducted over 3 months on 120 patients evaluated the impact of krill oil on total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL levels.
30 patients received 2-3 g/day of krill oil depending on their BMI, 30 received 1-1.5 g/day of krill oil, 30 received 3 g/day of fish oil (180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA/g), and 30 received a placebo.
The study showed a BMI-dependent reduction in blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL in the krill oil groups compared to the fish oil and placebo groups. Patients who received equal or lower doses of krill oil exhibited significantly greater improvements than those taking fish oil in glucose, triglycerides, and LDL levels.
Krill oil consumption reduces CRP (inflammation) levels (4)
In a study of 90 patients with chronic inflammation and elevated CRP levels (>1 mg/dl) due to cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, or advanced osteoarthritis, a daily intake of 300 mg of krill oil was given for 30 days. During the study, participants discontinued their usual anti-inflammatory medications. After 30 days, CRP levels were reduced by 30% in the krill oil group, compared to a 25% increase in the placebo group, demonstrating krill oil's anti-inflammatory potential.
Positive effects of krill oil on PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) (5)
In a controlled study involving 70 women suffering from PMS, a daily intake of 2 grams of krill oil (30% omega-3 fatty acids) proved more effective in reducing PMS symptoms than 2 grams of fish oil (30% omega-3 fatty acids) per day.
The superior efficacy of krill oil for PMS, compared to fish oil, is likely due to the phospholipid form of EPA and DHA, along with antioxidants such as vitamins A, E, astaxanthin, and a recently discovered marine flavonoid (similar to 6,8-di-C-glucosylluteolin).
Just before menstruation, the female hormone progesterone drops, leading to increased release of omega-6 fatty acids (primarily arachidonic acid, AA) in the body. Arachidonic acid is a precursor to pro-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2 and PGF2). This release triggers inflammation and uterine contractions, which can cause local oxygen deficiency and intense pain. Vitamin E and the omega-3 fatty acid EPA inhibit the release of PGE2, reducing inflammation and pain. Vitamin A helps alleviate premenstrual headaches.
Conclusion
To maintain cardiovascular health and alleviate PMS symptoms, krill oil is more effective than fish oil. Compared to a placebo, krill oil offers greater reduction in inflammation and arthritis symptoms.
Krill oil can be used as a supplement in the following cases:
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Inflammation (elevated CRP levels)
• Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
• Skin issues (inflammation)
• Memory problems

Solage products are safe, with no bad surprises.
To answer this question, we distinguish between three types of product, depending on their nature and intended purpose:
1/ Ideally taken as a continuous treatment: those which compensate for a nutritional or age-related deficiency, and which serve to restore the body's functions without altering its normal metabolism.
- Common nutritional deficiencies: marine omega-3, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin D between October and May
- Age-related or pathological deficiencies: Ubiquinol, Glutathione, Iron, Collagen (type I and II)
- To help the body deal with underlying problems: Saffron, Ashwagandha, Men's and women's urinary comfort, cholesterol
2/ To be taken in a cure, but where a break is not necessarily necessary if you or your healthcare professional find it useful:
Detox: Milk thistle, Glutathione
Digestion: Probiotics
3/ Products where a break is useful:
- Curcumin: at least a break of a few days between each box, as it modifies metabolic pathways in the body
- Echinacea (immunity): a break of a few days between each box so as not to over-stimulate the immune system
- Melatonin: avoid taking it every day over the long term, so as not to habituate the body.
In all cases, it's important to remember that the products we offer are genuinely active, that it's important to respect dosage and that they are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
This will of course depend on the product and your physiological state.
It's worth remembering that physiology is a long-term process, and that it generally takes two to three months, sometimes longer, to achieve a profound change.
However, the feeling is generally quicker, between 15 days and two months.It is then necessary to continue to try to fix these initial results in greater depth.
However, this will be much quicker with subsequent products:
- Melatonin and sublingual GABA, which have a very rapid onset of action (between two minutes and 30 minutes)
- Probiotics (48 hours to two weeks))
Please refer to the “Scientific studies” section of this product page, where you'll find most studies on bioavailability and medium-term effects.
