International Krill Oil Standards (IKOS™)

What Is IKOS™?

The IKOS™ (International Krill Oil Standards) Program is the only third-party testing and certification program exclusively for krill oils. As a voluntary, subscription-based service available to the entire krill oil supply chain, IKOS™ tests products by lot, using direct analysis, for omega-3 and astaxanthin content, contaminants, and freshness.

The purpose of IKOS™ is to allow companies to showcase their high quality, premium products, and to provide consumers with an easy, transparent way to compare krill oil products before they buy.
