ARCTIC RUBY® OIL Ingredients
THE ARCTIC FORGED THEM FOR SURVIVAL. NOW THEY SUPPORT YOU.
The ingredients in Arctic Ruby Oil® didn’t end up together by accident.
They were forged in the Arctic.
Calanus finmarchicus lives in one of the coldest, darkest and most unforgiving environments on Earth. To survive there, this tiny zooplankton evolved an extraordinary lipid system—specialized adaptations for storing energy, protecting itself and surviving periods of extreme scarcity.
Those adaptations are contained within its translucent ruby-red oil.
Wax esters. Astaxanthin. Stearidonic acid (SDA). Policosanols.
You won’t find this same nutritional architecture in ordinary fish oil or krill oil.
Because neither was forged by Calanus finmarchicus for survival in the Arctic.
What helped Calanus survive at the extreme has created an extraordinary nutritional profile for you.
ASTAXANTHIN
ARCTIC PROTECTION
Life in the Arctic is relentless. Survival requires protection.
One of Calanus finmarchicus’ remarkable adaptations is astaxanthin, the powerful red antioxidant responsible in part for the extraordinary ruby color of Arctic Ruby Oil®.
Astaxanthin has been extensively studied for its antioxidant activity and its ability to support eye, joint, skin, cardiovascular and neurological health.
And here’s where the Arctic difference becomes striking:
Arctic Ruby Oil® contains up to 15X the astaxanthin of krill oil. Fish oil contains essentially none.
But in Arctic Ruby Oil®, astaxanthin doesn’t stand alone. It exists alongside the other survival adaptations Calanus evolved in the Arctic.
That’s what makes the whole more interesting than any single ingredient.
STEARIDONIC ACID (SDA)
AN UNUSUAL OMEGA-3 FOR AN UNUSUAL ENVIRONMENT
The Arctic doesn’t reward ordinary biology.
Calanus finmarchicus also contains stearidonic acid—SDA, an unusual omega-3 fatty acid and metabolic precursor toward EPA.
SDA has attracted scientific interest for its potential role in supporting cardiovascular and metabolic health and a healthy inflammatory response.
Once again, look at the pattern.
Astaxanthin for protection.
SDA as part of an unusual fatty-acid system.
Neither was added to Arctic Ruby Oil® in a laboratory.
They are part of the lipid profile Calanus evolved for Arctic survival.
WAX ESTERS
NATURE’S “SWEET-SPOT” DELIVERY SYSTEM
This may be the most remarkable Arctic adaptation of all.
Fish oil predominantly carries its omega-3 fatty acids in triglycerides.
Krill oil is known for phospholipids.
But Calanus finmarchicus stores much of its lipid energy in wax esters—a highly concentrated energy reserve ideally suited to an environment where food can become scarce and survival depends upon making stored energy last.
That Arctic adaptation also changes how the oil behaves after you consume it.
Wax esters are digested gradually, allowing lipid digestion to continue farther through the intestinal tract and toward the posterior intestine—what we call the “sweet spot.”
This region contains receptors involved in metabolic signaling associated with satiety, glucose regulation, fat metabolism and other important physiological processes.
The Arctic needed Calanus to make its energy last.
So nature evolved a different delivery system.
That’s not merely an ingredient.
That’s Arctic engineering.
POLICOSANOLS
ANOTHER SURVIVAL ADAPTATION YOU DON’T EXPECT IN A MARINE OIL
Then there are policosanols—long-chain fatty alcohols naturally associated with the wax-esters in Arctic Ruby Oil®.
Policosanols have been studied for their potential roles in supporting healthy lipid metabolism, cardiovascular function, glucose metabolism and physical performance.
They’re another reason Arctic Ruby Oil® doesn’t fit neatly into the fish-oil or krill-oil category.
Its nutritional profile reflects the extraordinary organism—and extraordinary environment—that created it.
Wax esters.
Astaxanthin.
SDA.
Policosanols.
Different compounds. Different functions. One reason they are together: survival in the Arctic.
THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT MAY BE THE ARCTIC
That’s the point most omega-3 labels miss.
Arctic Ruby Oil® isn’t remarkable simply because it contains omega-3 fatty acids.
It’s remarkable because of the form those fatty acids take, the compounds accompanying them, and the extreme environment that shaped the organism producing them.
Fish oil comes from fish.
Krill oil comes from krill.
Arctic Ruby Oil® comes from Calanus finmarchicus.
But Calanus was forged by the Arctic.
The extreme cold. The darkness. The scarcity. The relentless demands of survival.
Together they produced an unusual marine lipid profile—wax esters, astaxanthin, SDA and policosanols—working together in one naturally evolved nutritional complex.
What nature developed to help Calanus finmarchicus survive at the extreme now provides extraordinary nutritional support for your heart, brain, metabolism, energy, endurance, joints, immunity, eyes and skin.
The Arctic forged it for survival.
Arctic Ruby Oil® brings those adaptations to you.
