User Reviews for krill oil

I started taking Krill oil because I have a lot of knee pain, I had been taking fish oil but I was taking to many and they are huge, I bought a bottle of Swisse red krill oil when it was on special I have only been taking it for 3 weeks and I can't believe the difference, I can walk up and down stairs and hardly have any pain. I am so happy and I hope the pain has gone for good.

Within a week a was not lomping anymore or in pain

Hi There I started taking Krill Oil caps and within 3 days came out in a red itchy rash around my abdo area that ended up all over my body. I experienced a lot of itching on my feet,legs and pubic area and my abdomen was very red,hot and sore. I am happy for the people that have had great results taking Krill and share dissapointment with others that like myself may just have to accept that we are allergic or reactive to Krill and may need to stop taking it.

I have been able to reduce my hydrocodone pain therapy. I cannot take NASIDS because of ulcers. I take the hydrocodone for pain; it also seems to help with my arthtitis pain. Also, I notice that my skin does not feel dry and fine line on my face seem to be disappearing.

I just star to used

As I was taking 8x1500 daily fish oil capsules I was interested in the strength of red krill oil, so I would be able to take less capsules. When I took 1x500mg daily for a couple of weeks, was fine, til I started taking 2x500mg 4 days ago, this resulted in, odd pains everywhere including tummy,gassy burps and nausea. very unpleasant side effects. Pity as sounds really great. It was Bioglan brand which was not down.

Decreased back pain (have rods and screws in back due to burst fracture of a vertebrae) and increased mental clarity.

I started taking this 6 months ago,watching what i eat and excercising 4 times a week at the gym. My cholesterol didnt go down at all. my tryglycerides actually doubled.Not going to take it anymore even though my doctor told me to take them twice a day.

I have high blood pressure,high cholesterol ,and end stage kidney failure. I switched from fish oil to krill oil (500mg Soft gell by Nature Made)three months ago and have had great results across the board!!!!! Blood results this month were amazing, This product is too expensive but I will never be without it!

This probably has nothing to do with the krill oil, but at the same time i started taking 1 pill a day i began to break out and became way more exhausted than usual. I thought I would mention it just in case other people experienced the same thing and it happens it does have something to do with the krill oil. who knows, i might be pregnant again or something since i get these same symptoms.

I very much appreciate the lowering of the total cholesterol and modification of some pain due to Psoriatic Arthritis. Unfortunately I had to stop after using it for three months and a month off then back on. Horrible stomach pains just as it was with regular Omega 3 Salmon oils. Horrible distended abdomen with tons of gas. Inability to eat anything but liquids. Pain is intolerable and I will quit again today and just get my Omega 3's from fresh fish and canned salmon and tuna. I will also use vegetable sources of this product. Be very careful with these oils as they can cause bleeding or thinning of the blood in those especially those on Coumadin. I was not but this is a warning. It works so very well on the joint pain I hate to give up.Read More Read Less

My Cholesterol, has always been a problem 240mg. I started taking krill oil because I could never remember to take 4 fish oil capsules a day. 1 krill capsule was the alternative I chose. Never did expect to reap the bounty that I have received. My cholesterol is now 209, my LDL has fallen to remarkably low levels, my HDL is above the recommended levels, and best of all, my triglycerides have also declined. My blood sugar has always been a problem, but since I started this Krill oil it is more in control. I have not changed my diet. This change has been maintained now for over nine months.

EXCELLENT!

Wanted to lower cholesterol,took it for 4 months same reading,did not lower,but I do feel better,less joint aches so will continue taking it.

I have hip osteoarthritis and general aches for a 69 year old male. I have found that taking 1000 mg per day has greatly reduced my symptoms. My blood pressure also seems lower but cant be certain as to cause.

I began taking krill oil 7 months ago after my physician indicated my cholesterol was too high at 225. After 7 months, my total level is at 210 and my LDL has gone down considerably.

I started taking krill oikl after I had open heart surgery (widow maker) and seeing it advertised on TV. My cholestrol is actuall a couple of points below normal and the HDL hwas went up. I do take lipitor and have watched my diet. My arthritis is alos better, knee pain has been releived. The only problem is dertmining how much to take. I take 4-300 mg per day.
