Oslo, August 25, 2023: A consumer brand in Australia using Aker BioMarine's
Superba Boost krill oil has been included on the Australia Register of
Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as an 'assessed listed' medicine with two specific
indications: 

1.	Decrease/reduce/relieve knee pain and stiffness in mild to moderate
osteoarthritis 
2.	Increase knee physical function in mild to moderate osteoarthritis 
 
The 'assessed listed' status means that the product has been reviewed by the
country's regulatory body to assess the efficacy of its health claims.

With its newly secured approval, the brand can now add information about the
health benefits of Suberba Boost to the product label and include these messages
in consumer advertising. The approved product claims are exclusive to the brand
for the next five years. 

"This is a strong testament to the effectiveness of our Superba krill oil, and
will support us in building the market for Superba krill oil, primarily in the
Australian market but also in other markets.", says Matts Johansen, CEO Aker
BioMarine.

This is the second health claim exclusively for Superba Krill oil, the other
being the health claim received in South Korea in 2023. 


Information about clinical trials
Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, recently ran a clinical trial over
six months to evaluate the impact of krill oil on osteoarthritis of the knee.
The study evaluated 235 adults between 40 to 65 years of age who suffer from
mild to moderate knee pain. The results showed that not only did Superba Boost
significantly reduce the pain, but it also helped improve stiffness and physical
function in the knees.
