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 month...

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

I’ve been taking Krill oil for only a month now. Slowly I’ve been experiencing gas, bloat, acid reflux really bad now to the point where I can feel that awful burning in my throat and taste in my mouth. I’ve never had constant acid reflux like I have now. Going off the krill oil to see if I feel better. I will have to find another way to control my cholesterol.

I put a review on and forgot to say this about my wife. Three months on a high dose of krill oil in the morning and at night my wife's blood pressure was 107/80 pulse 60! I was laughing with happiness it was this low. Real krill oil is truly a gift from God. No medicine doctors prescribed could provide this reading without side effects. Yea,I'm a believer. Just make sure you look closely before you buy. Some slimy manufacturers put fish oil in the exact same bottle as krill oil. READ THE LABEL FIRST. Good luck and God Bless You.Read More Read Less

My wife has profound heart disease. 95 percent blockages in several arteries. She is inoperable due to decades of untreated diabetes. Unfortunately,eight years ago she had a stroke and heart attack that really beat her down. Then ,due to us using sucralose sweetener (spenda) in all her beverages her stomach stopped digesting water. Then her HMO treated her dehydration by messing up her heart medicine ,which blinded her by making her cataracts eighty percent worse in three weeks and giving her a dose of reglan that blew her brain to pieces. Thankfully, I found the sucralose problem we stopped using it- it still took two months for her stomach to heal to accept plain water and we had to wait five months for the cataract surgery. That cataract surgery saved her life. Still most of the heart blood medicines they gave her really effected her brain. This all happened over the last four years. We had some krill oil in the fridge and she was really heading into a bad place so I said lets try this. The krill oil is simply a miracle. Her brain is coming back to life. Her sores on the front of her legs is getting much smaller. She still suffers greatly but the trend is heading in a positive direction. She takes a very large dose. Three 800 mg in the morning and three 800 mg at night. There is no stomach discomfort and the krill oil is miles more effective then fish oil. She's on lasix for water retention,krill oil which is saving her life and quality of life as well as magnesium picolenate.zinc picolinate,b vitamin supplements and cranberry pills( vitamin c) to fight urinary tract infections. We are in the fight now. She's also maintains her diabetes will the proper shots too. Buy a quality krill oil and be sure its krill oil. Some of these slimy companies package fish oil in the exact same package. Good luck to you and thanks to God for the miracle of real krill oil.Read More Read Less

Thins blood, although not enough. No affect on arthritis, cholesterol, or blood pressure that I can see. No gastric issues or allergies.

have been taking for a couple of months but in the last month of it I experienced fluid building up in my ears mainly my left ear and fluid trapped in the middle ear. went to med clinic and was given antibiotics and allergy meds and Mucinex and it abated for a couple of days then after those doses it returned. Stopped taking Mega Red 3 Krill Oil a few days ago and no more fluid in the ears and can hear again. Very frightening to know you can't get rid of something in your ears.

I am 71 and don't take any other medications. I have had problems with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. After reading here and other places that it might help with blood pressure ( I was 161/90) I tried 500mg a day for a month. My blood pressure is now between 130 and 139 over 80. I have upped to 1000mg a day but so far after 3 weeks haven't seen any more improvement.

Reportedly, Krill oil has a better effect on bad cholesterol than fish oil does. I take the Mega-Red 500 mg X-strength Omega-3 formula with Astaxanthin and DHA, by Schiff. My cholesterol numbers are now down one point above the normal range. I also take prescription Zetia, 10 mg, and no more Statins. And... last but not least, fortunately Krill oil doesn't keep me burping a fishy taste all day; ughhh!

I wasn't aware I was only supposed to take my Krill for 3 months.I took it for 5 months which caused my blood to thin pretty bad, and my bones were accelerated with the thinning out with my osteoarthritis.Hopefully since I stopped taking it my bones will rejuvenate.I noticed just before I did stop my hands were sore as if they had been crushed.

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.

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.
