This invention discloses methods of using krill oil and compositions comprising krill oil to treat risk factors for metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory disorders. The present invention also relates to methods of using compositions comprising krill oil to modulate biological processes selected from the group consisting of glucose metabolism, lipid biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, cholesterol biosynthesis, and the mitochondria respiratory chain. The present invention further includes pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical formulations made from krill oil, methods of making such formulations, and methods of administering them to treat risk factors for metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory disorders. Further, a method of reducing appetite in humans by administering a krill oil composition is also disclosed.

In accordance with a non-limiting example, an algae based oil is used in place of a krill oil to treat low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in humans by administering a therapeutic amount of a dietary supplement composition comprising an algae based oil comprising glycolipids and phospholipids and Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) fatty acids in combination with astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis (Hp) in an oral dosage form, wherein the astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis (Hp) is 0.1 to 4.0 percent by weight of the algae based oil.
