Built With Intent
Calanus® is a registered trademark for oil from Calanus finmarchicus — a tiny Arctic zooplankton. The oil contains omega-3 fatty acids in their natural wax ester form, setting it apart from standard fish oils based on triglycerides.
from Calanus finmarchicus, Arctic zooplankton Premium oil from a small Arctic crustacean. The omega-3 fatty acids are bound in wax ester form — a natural matrix distinct from industrially processed fish oil in triglyceride form.
eicosapentaenoic acid, 69 mg / 2 capsules A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid. EPA contributes to normal heart function and helps maintain normal blood triglyceride levels.
docosahexaenoic acid, 51 mg / 2 capsules A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid. DHA contributes to maintaining normal brain function and normal vision.
stearidonic acid, 74 mg / 2 capsules An omega-3 fatty acid naturally present in Calanus® oil. SDA is a less common component in standard fish oils and is one of the characteristics that distinguishes Calanus® as a source.
1,82 mg / 2 capsules, natural carotenoid A natural carotenoid present directly in Calanus® oil — no added synthetic antioxidants. Astaxanthin helps protect cells from oxidative stress and enhances the oxidative stability of the oil itself (low TOTOX).
Why wax esters
Standard fish oil contains omega-3 in triglyceride form — the result of industrial processing. Calanus® oil contains them in wax ester form, exactly as Calanus finmarchicus naturally synthesises them. This form is characterised by slower but more stable release and significantly lower susceptibility to oxidation.
Wax esters
The omega-3 in Calanus® oil are bound in wax ester form — the natural molecular matrix in which Calanus finmarchicus stores them as an energy reserve. Standard fish oil uses a triglyceride form, which is the result of industrial processing.
TOTOX ≤3
TOTOX is an index of total fat oxidation — a lower number means fresher, less oxidised oil. Calanus® has a certified TOTOX ≤3. Standard fish oil at point of sale typically reaches values of 20–50+. Oxidised oil can cause unpleasant odour and reflux.
Norwegian zooplankton
Calanus finmarchicus is a small marine crustacean from Arctic Norwegian waters. Due to its small size and low position in the food chain, it has significantly lower bioaccumulation of heavy metals than predatory fish. The product undergoes laboratory purity testing.
When and how to take it?
The recommended dose is 2–4 capsules per day. Swallow the capsules whole with plenty of water. Best absorbed with a fat-containing meal. The maximum permitted dose under EU regulation is 6 capsules per day. Do not combine with other supplements containing astaxanthin on the same day.

The science behind the Upgraded line
I created the Powerlogy Upgraded premium line for the most discerning customers, who demand the highest quality and efficacy. Upgraded products are enhanced with innovative ingredients such as MCT oil, prebiotic fibre, adaptogens and bioactive compounds.
I develop the formulas based on current expert knowledge and a commitment to ingredient quality. We develop around ingredient combinations that make sense — in terms of composition, dosage, and everyday use. Our functional ingredient selection is also reviewed by the specialists we work with at Powerlogy.
I recommend Upgraded products as the solution for people who want a reliable source of energy and nutrition every day.
