Omega Red Krill oil

Hi Brenda, we supplement with Puritan's Pride Omega-3 Salmon Oil 1000 mg (purified to eliminate mercury). They are rapid release soft gels, and we've never had any fishy taste from them. Puritan's Pride often offers buy 1, get 2 free or buy 2 get 3 free specials with or without free shipping. Well worth signing up for their email alerts.

There are many whole food choices with omega-3 besides fish, like flax seed (sprinkle on salads or cereal), kidney, pinto, and mungo beans, walnuts, spinach, winter squash, broccoli, cauliflower, avocado and more. Your body absorbs omega-3 found in whole food better than in supplements. Google is your friend! :)

i take flax seed oil. a co-worker takes krill, said no fishy anything with it.

i've added flaxseed oil capsules to supplement my omegas. i haven't noted any improvement yet; most research i've found says it takes at least six months to have any effect.

You can get odourless Fish Oil capsules - no taste. Krill has no fishy taste, either, but, if anyone is on blood thinners, you cannot take Krill supplements.

i can not swallow capsules or gel capsules. if it can not be put in a pill crusher i can't do it.

but i dump ground flax seed into every breakfast. your list below lynne with an e is pretty much my daily diet. i don't eat salmon as a vegan and i miss out on all that good stuff you salmon eaters are getting :)

i didn't know i was absorbing it better from food. nice to know

For dry eyes I have had good results with EZ Tears (recommended by my eye dr). It takes a few weeks to notice a difference. Huge capsules, but no fish taste (or burps) at all. They're available on Amazon. I still need to use lubricating drops, but much less than before.

I found if I take it before bed I don't even notice the "fishy" ones. I also found freezing them before swallowing them reduced the fishy flavor as well. On a plus side it has really helped my dry hair and believe it or not it also worked to "cure" my dog's dry flaky almost allergic like skin. It's some good stuff. ;-)

Thanks everyone - I'll get out there and definitely try this - and smith, when I was googling all this stuff I was surprised how many canine and feline versions of fish oil there was for the very reason you state!

Ok - feel much better about giving these a try - thanks!

When shopping, look for the 'coated' kind of fish oil. I've been using that kind for yrs and have not had any problem at all with fishy burps. It does help with dry eyes, I used to be on Restasis but it burned so bad when I put the drops in that I finally threw in the towel on it. I believe it helps somewhat with my RA.

ask you doctor for a prescription. that's what i use.

I was disappointed with adding Omega Krill Oil daily. I started it last year. I was reluctant to try fish oil because of fish burps or gas and the size of the capsules. So when I saw this little red pill and read about all the good things I started taking it because my triglycerides are always in the high 200's. My cholesterol was always higher than is liked but my good was high and my bad was low so no one put me on meds.
Well 1 year after taking the krill my triglycerides are 277 my total cholesterol is 262- my good is low and my bad is high so now they want me on statins given family history & RA.
I asked my GP how that can be and she said she sees it happen to post menopause women and that fish oil really doesn't help lower cholesterol, prevent heart attacks or strokes.
So all I am is a little lighter in the pocketbook considering the cost of that Omega red Krill Oil.
:(

Can any of you let me know what dose you are taking? I want to eggy back on a relatively high dose, but can't remember what my old naturopath told me.

My optometrist suggested 1500-2000 mg a day.

Thanks. Autocorrect got me again.
