I know nothing about Krill Oil other than reading your post and doing a quick Google of the product. Right now I am using Flax Seed oil as my main source of Omega 3, but I understand fish oils are better. However, I am yet to find a fish oil that does not upset my stomach. I am looking for a cure/control for inflammation and pain relief. I have sever nerve root inflammation from a spinal injury. I am in constant pain and cannot walk without a cane or walker. Mainstream MDs want to use steroids, but I am fighting that. Since the product seems pretty expensive, I would like to learn more about why it is a superior Omega 3 source.

Thanks for all your research and links. I will have to review my $$$$ and see if I can swing a bottle of this-I may have to wait a couple of weeks. Still it sounds very promising for helping relieve the inflammation. I generally take 3-5 grams of flax seed oil, I read several places that we need about 3000 Mg of Omega 3 a day. I also eat walnuts and raw pumpkin seed a lot. Still, I know I am missing some of the benefits of fish oil. Fish oil does not set well with me whether it is the high grade kind or the stuff off Walmart's shelves. I'll keep researching and hopefully this forum will catch on soon.

Hi, Zoolander,

I am in Canada also -- what price did you pay for the krill oil up here?

Thanks.

I've been using it for about three months. A chronic back problem seems to have vanished, and my nails and cuticles which have always been brittle, breaking, and always in my mouth due to their roughness, are now smooth and strong. I'm a believer!

I still have some aches and pains (I've been on krill oil for about six months now), but since I've started taking it my fingernails have gotten much stronger, and my skin has improved in texture. I figure the health of the skin is a reflection of the health of the rest of the body, and if that's so, that's all I need to recommend it.

My daughter, who has stomach sensitivity to the fish oils, can take the krill oil without problems.
