I made asked my mom test this out. This is her review.
I am getting older, and in the past couple of years, I am beginning to feel my age. I am a vitamin taker, and when I was given the opportunity to try Krill Oil, I thought it might be a good supplement to add to my diet. Krill oil is made from an Antarctic crustacean similar to a shrimp. Although Krill Oil and Fish Oil are similar in characteristics, Krill Oil is higher in Omega-3 acids and is high is the good fats that our bodies need. Krill Oil is also claimed to promote heart and joint health, and is high in anti-oxidants. It is also used in treating PMS and painful menstrual periods. It is also promoted for brain and memory health, and a treatment for depression.
I’ve taken Krill Oil for over a month now, and I really don’t feel any different. I’m sure there are things going in within my body that I’m not aware of – the reduction of the artery-clogging fats, raising my ‘good cholesterol,’ and improving my joint health, but I’m not feeling any of that. I don’t feel more alert, smarter, in a better mood. I do believe I will continue taking it for another month, and see if I feel any differently at that time.
A word of caution - Krill Oil should not be taken by those with shellfish allergies, pregnant women, or those whom have had surgery recently as Krill Oil can slow down blood clotting; it may cause bruising or bleeding if taken with a variety of medications, including ibuprofen and naproxen. If you have any health issues, please contact your doctor prior to taking any supplement. Also, there is some evidence that Krill Oil will interact with Orlistat (Alli, Xenical).

Very true on feeling the age as one gets older(believe me, I jest not). Omega 3, Krill oil, calcium, you have to really take them all in some amount to make an overall difference for your joint health. Not only for that, but good for your heart and antioxidants as well? I'll call it the miracle drug.
I've never been able to take fish oil supplements, mainly due to the size and fishy aftertaste. These sound like they may avoid those issues. But with any supplement, the body can only absorb so much, so as long as you are eating a good amount of fresh fish, you really don't need it as much. Thanks for the review.
I plan to try Krill Oil, especially since it promotes heart and joint health. Thanks for the review!
I really would like to try these. I didn't know about all the benefits until now.
I would like to try these for my joints, however, sometimes they upset my stomach
Do they still have the fishy aftertaste/smell? That's why I can't convince myself to take normal fish pills.
I've found that flax seed meal (the ground flax seed, not whole flax seed) is a better source for Omega 3 than the pill supplements. It's easy to sprinkle on veggies, sandwiches, oatmeal, etc and there are boatloads of recipes that use it like banana bread and chocolate chip muffins…waaay better tasting than fish oil pills!
I have taken Fish oil and did not like it but my hubby takes it for his heart. This may be something he may like.
I take a daily fish oil supplement, but was not aware of Krill oil and its benefits so thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review. I generally avoid anything based on "filter" feeders like this but I'll research it further.
I have never considered taking this and will check back to see your results if any. Thanks for the review.
I am actually reviewing these right now and if you put them in the refrigerator it helps with the smell.
i really need an omega suppliment now, i ran out!!
wow, never heard of this before but love the benefits it provides! Not sure about the smell though lol.
There’s no smell to them.
they have more benefits then i expected and prob worth trying
I have never tried but have heard good things. I would love to hear an update after the next month! I didn't know that it helped with PMS, interesting!
i have the j oint problem and that would do good for me
I have always been intimidated by fish oils and the like because of the "fishy taste" but these sound like something I'd be interested in trying. I definitely want more Omega-3 in my diet! Thanks for the review!
I have taken regular fish pills before and they helped. These sound one step above the regular fish pills. I will have to try them and see how they work on me.
I just recently learned about Krill oil on the Doctors show. Sounds like great stuff.
wow i did not know it helps with PMS
my husband and i tried this and we like it
i've read so many good things about krill oil (from good sources) i am planning on trying it soon!
