Sports Research Antarctic Omega 3 Krill Oil 1000 Milligrams Double Strength Dietary Supplement With Astaxanthin And Phospholipids 60 Softgels

I am 35 and very active, but have been suffering with mild osteoarthritis discomfort in my shoulders, knees, and ankles. I've been using SRC's Krill Oil for a couple weeks now primarily for joint inflammation, and so far the results have been positive, and pretty consistent with what I read in other reviews about how long it takes to start having an effect. The pain isn't completely gone, but I have noticed my knees and ankles have eased a little, not much change in the shoulders yet. As far as general wellness in any other regard i haven't noticed anything, but will continue to re-post as time goes on, and I have some results to compare blood work numbers from my annual physical.Given the difficult time I had in doing research on this product before buying, I would like to at least contribute my data to the pool here for other skeptics like myself who don't like sifting through 100 sites of garbage reviews trying to see if there is any PROOF behind all the marketing.Final ruling on the smell in my opinion.. While people should never expect a bottle of Krill oil to smell like flowers the slight amount of Vanillin included does help mask the odor, and I haven't had a single fish burp. Good luck to everyone out there who is thinking of trying this product. I will post back when I know more.

I was very happy with the Sports Research Superba Krill Oil. I have used the major "RED" brand and several different brands and this by far exceeds them all in price and quality. The Liquid Softgels are truly 1000 MG in each. Some brands of different supplements, including Krill Oil, advertise a certain MG level but don't state that you must take multiple doses to reach that MG level. Not so with this brand. It says 1000 MG and you get 1000 MG. Also, they arrived in excellent condition. I have ordered some which have arrived with open or crushed softgels and Krill Oil loose in the bottle. These were in excellent shape. I cannot take fish oil, even the "Enteric Coated" brands, due to the "Fish Burps" which always follow. Most brands of Krill Oil have not affected me in this way and this brand has been very pleasant in this respect - NO FISH BURPS.Why am I writing this review? Because I had a real problem with Cholesterol. I actually was put on Statin drugs for a very brief period. Each drug caused immediate leg problems and when I reported it to the doctor, he would change to the next Statin drug. After the second change I began my research and discovered a myriad of information on Fish Oil, Krill Oil, and Red Yeast Rice. I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I did my own personal research. I found I could not take Fish Oil and Krill Oil seemed to produce better results anyway. I started my regimen of Krill Oil and Red Yeast Rice results according to the doctor were "Amazing". He told me to keep doing what I was doing. My LDL, Triglycerides and Total Cholesterol all went down significantly. My HDL went up. I have the Lab reports to prove it. I am not going to say the exact numbers because each person is different and it may or may not work for you. I just know what worked for me, and has continued to work for 4 years. NO STATIN DRUGS FOR ME. Do your own research and see what is best for you, personally. I've found what works for me and I've found the best & most convenient place to purchase is Dropy. The best brand of Krill Oil for me is Sports Research Antarctic Krill Oil.

Great product!Heart Health: Used to improve blood lipids, such as lowering triglycerides and increasing "good" HDL cholesterol.Inflammation & Joint Health: Contains astaxanthin and EPA/DHA which help manage inflammation and reduce joint pain.PMS Management: Used to alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.Superior Absorption: The omega-3s in krill oil are attached to phospholipids (often phosphatidylcholine), which are absorbed more efficiently by the body compared to the triglyceride form found in standard fish oil.Antioxidant Source: Provides astaxanthin, which gives it a red color and protects against oxidative stress.

It's a great product

The package states it is not for the treatment of any symptom or disease. So I will not make any claims that it fixes anything. I'm no doctor, and listening to me is not the same as listening to your doctor.That said, doctors do agree that increasing omega 3 fatty acids in the diet is a good thing. And this product does that with a little vanilla thrown in for style. Be aware that most sources say the beneficial dose of omega 3 fatty acids is 500 mg a day. This product does not provide that in one capsule. Simple solution, and the one I chose: take two. One with breakfast one with dinner. Sure, the krill oil folks will tell you that because of this and that in the composition of the fatty acids in krill oil, you can get away with taking less. But studies have also shown that the composition of the oils does not really matter. So don't under supplement. If 500 mg is the accepted dose for nutritional support, then take it.These pills have a fairly strong odor in the bottle, and made my pill fob stink. Had to start carrying them separately in order to take them on my meal break at work. But they do the job well.Now, I said I wouldn't make any claims they fixed anything, but I will note the following that have happened since I began taking the supplements. Both of these are verifiable using data from my fitness tracker, not just my own subjective feelings. First, my heart rate is lower than it was a month ago. Second, I am getting deeper, better quality sleep and waking up more refreshed. Both of these are listed as potential benefits of supplementing with omega 3 fatty acids.Should you add omega 3s to your daily supplements? Medical data seems to say yes. Should you take krill oil over fish oil, and particular this krill oil? Well, that's up to you. The pill size (not bad) and vanilla flavor are definitely reasons to think about this one. Less than recommended dosage is something to consider in your pricing equation as well. While this is a good product, it is likely I will try a couple more with higher doses to compare the effects before settling on one brand.(full disclosure: this company places an offer in the box for a free small bottle of krill oil if you write a review. I will be redeeming that offer soon)
