User Reviews for krill oil

switched from regular fish oil to Krill oil combined with a low carb diet and cholesterol decreased 60 points.

Went on 300mg krill oil cause I couldn't tolerate statins. Cholesterol is good but stomach issues persist. Belching, bloating, loose stools, heartburn. Didn't realize it was the krill oil till I was told to stop 2 weeks before a colonoscopy and all symptoms went away. Will try to go back to fish oil.

just a warning that I replaced my statins with Krill oil and 6 months later at doctor's check-up my cholesterol had shot up and I was put back on statins

was taking it for better health...2 weeks after taking this was near my period time...i been having spotty to light periods for awhile..not normal...well after taking this krill oil my period started normal and stayed for my 4 days no spotting...before i would spot then light period now my last 2 periods since taking this helped my period didnt know it was gonna help me in this way...i guess my body was lacking in something.making my period not normal..so if it working for me on my side of period might work for someone else..Read More Read Less

After taking krill oil all sciatica problems gone and cholestral levels reduced.

It's a no brainer and works - I started using it for dry eye but look at all the other things it will help with.

No side effects

Take krill oil for cholesterol issues. Now in acceptable range after taking it for 6 months. Did have indigestion at first but solved that by keeping it in the freezer and taking capsules in frozen form. That was recommended by a doctor for medications causing gastro issues.

All of cholesterol levels,HDL,LDL their ratios greatly improved while taking this daily.I never had to start on statins with all those side effects! Did not notice any improvement in my arthritis symptoms. Still had joint stiffness,swelling and achey pain.

I started taking Krill Oil supplements 30 days ago. My LDL is down 30 points, HDL is up 12 points. Blood pressure has stabilized as well. Unless you're allergic to seafood/shellfish, it's better than taking dangerous statin drugs. Statins: Permanent liver damage, kidney damage, weakened heart muscle, permanent nerve damage in arms and legs, increase in colon cancer, suppresses the immune system, linked to rapid, thick cataracts.

I started taking Krill oil a few months ago. I take one 500mg Central Market Krill oil pill daily. I began taking them for general health reasons and was pleasantly surprised to notice that my severe emotional pms symptoms have disappeared for my last two cycles. I still have breast tenderness and head aches but the severe emotional effects I have experienced with my cycle for years have completely gone.

I went to the vitamin store looking for a joint supplement to help with my psoriatic arthritis which left me in so much pain. The sales staff recommended Krill Plus, 1085 mg of omega 3. I take you gels in the morning. I have only taken it for a month but the results are amazing. I had no pain head to toe. All the inflammation from my psoriasis and the arthritis went away, it even started clearing the psoriasis on my legs that had spread 3 years ago. As an added bonus, my acid reflux went away and my heart palpitations stopped. I also dropped one pant size!! Not to mention ladies, I am premenopausal and it keeps my mood stable and I don't have night sweats! Maybe my experience is different than most but this product has changed my life and I am more energetic and happy! I have started to give it to my teen kids! It took about a week before I started noticing a difference. The only side effect that I have noticed is a slight burp about 1min after taking it that all I can compare it to is a very mild tuna fish flavor but it went away immediately. I hope this helps someone. ...you have to be patient . I didn't see the one I use in the drop down but it is from Vitamin World...it's their brand!Read More Read Less

started taking 500mg, twice daily, of krill after doctor wrote two different, failed prescriptions for hypertension. after one month BP went down from 140/95 to 118/75 (averages). Also take crestor for cholesterol and triglycerides. anxious to get next lipid panel done to see if it helps there as well.

I have only taken mega red krill for 2 days. It has caused my stomach to be upset and caused a lot of gas and groweling. I am stopping until I talk with my Dr. tomorrow.

I've had high cholesterol for several years and it's genetic. I eat right and exercise regularly, but have still had high cholesterol. I also have high blood pressure which is also genetic. I started taking Krill oil (1 gram a day or 1000 mg) because I've heard good things about it and I thought was a better alternative to Fish oil-- Fish oil always gave me bad indigestion and burps. After 3 months I had my annual physical with blood work. My cholesterol went down by 30%, my blood pressure also is now within the normal range (from 150/80 to 120/40). The only problem I have is that it causes excess flatuation which is REALLY BAD. I think I'm going to cut back on the daily dosage to help this problem, but even if it doesn't, the health benefits greatly outweigh the gas I have (maybe my wife wouldn't agree).Read More Read Less
