Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I don't know that it would be safe to assume all krill oil is free of heavy metals. You might want to ask for the testing results from individual manufacturers to be sure. We have checked on Designs for Health krill oil and it's safe. I don't know about any of the others. > > Is krill oil that much better than fish oil?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 You can read info about it on mercola.com- he says he has the best brand (his), but he is such a salesman. I would buy it on iherb.com - great prices and free shipping if you buy over $60. They have several brands, get the one that looks the best to you. It does look like a good product. terry ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 > > Hi Bee, > Just wondering what you think of the below from Dr Mecola's latest newsletter. Would this be better than Fish Oil or Cod Liver Oil or is it all just Hype? ==>Krill oil does not replace cod liver oil because Krill oil only contains omega-3, but it is a good fish oil which can be taken if you get enough vitamin D from the sun but you must also take vitamin A as well as you would with taking any other fish oil. Cod liver oil contains omega-3, vitamin A & D. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I tried Krill oil for myself last Summer. I felt very cranky on it and just all over horrible. I tried for about two weeks and then stopped because of how I felt. -------------- Original message -------------- From: " Aman Bawa " <aman@...> Hey All, Good Morning/Afternoon. I was flipping through Costco's magazine and came across an ad for Krill Oil. This particular company (MegaRed) is claiming the Omega-3 contact in its softgels are equivalent to 3x fish oil. Does anyone have any experience with krill oil either for themselves or their children? I had not heard of it until this point. Kind Regards, Aman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I just read on www.about.com about Krill. It seems ok but we should wait on Bee's response. Check out the article when you can. I also checked www.webmd.com but they had nothing.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 > > Bee, what do you think about " Krill Oil " being our best selection of > Omega 3 oil vs. regular fish oil? +++Hi Gail. Krill are a small, shrimp-like crustacean that inhabits the cold ocean areas of the world. It has become the " latest source " of fish oils - here's more information on it: http://www.balancepointwellness.com/krillexplained.html No, I don't think Krill Oil is a good source of Omega 3. It contains 48 times the antioxidant capacity and is more highly absorbable than other fish oils. - that's a hugh danger signal to me. Dr. Price used cod liver oil successfully, but he also warns not to take too much because it will create imbalances and can even be toxic. That's why my recommendations are modest, aligning more with Dr. Price's research. More is not better! You can overwhelm your body by over-treating it, and by taking too much of a good thing, which can stop or slow down natural healing processes. One of the important keys to healing naturally is not to push the body. Too powerful of antioxidants, and too much, are detrimental to your health.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Wheels, I don't take it or have the need and you can surf about it all you want, pro/con. Nothing has been written on it as a treatment for CMT however. It has a bare minimum of studies on pub med and that's for diabetic neuropathy and scavaging mitochondrial cells and hypoglycemia. It is just another form of Omega 3's. You can get your Omega's through your diet. Please be careful about anything that claims to be 'a miracle'. While it can help lower cholesterol (supposedly) you may want to know about some side effects. Krill oil is becoming popular is because it contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin. The algae that krill eat produces the bright red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans such as lobster and shrimp their reddish-pink color. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astaxanthin#For_humans Side Effects People with allergies to seafood shouldn't use krill oil. People with bleeding disorders shouldn't use krill oil unless under the supervision of a qualified health professional. Side effects of krill oil may include loose stools, diarrhea or indigestion. Possible Drug Interactions People taking blood thinners (anticoagulant or anti-platelet medication), such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, clopidogrel (Plavix), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) should only use krill oil under a physician's supervision.
