Krill Oil

[Guest guest]

hi keri, i take two krill oil caps a day ...I get it from mercola.com in

america. i usually wait for one of his " free shipping worldwide " events

although the other day i checked out the postage cost for something else and it

was very reasonable. i believe that if you live in the uk you may have to pay

vat and/or duty for items over a certain value so you would need to bear that in

mind when ordering, plus of course the ups and downs of dollar to sterling

conversion.

you probably know that there are different types of omega 3s ...i believe the

dha fatty acid from fish/krill is more bio available than the omega 3 from

plants (i.e. it doesn't have to be converted)

(to be on the safe side, anyone who is on blood thinners (e.g. warfarin rat

posion) should probably speak with their doc before supplementing with omega 3s

so as not to overdo the blood thinning aspect).

by Biocare but don't feel it is doing anything. What suppliers do you use?

Thank you. Keri x

> Hi all - I thought I had better warn you all about the above 'product' which

is the latest craze re Omega 3 supplementation. I started to take it and

tolerated it well or so I thought - been having dreadful dry skin issues and

other symptoms which I found a little too familiar. Did some research and

apparently Krill knocks out thyroid medication - so all my symptoms were low

thyroid again. Had to up my meds to get back to where I was.

Thanks for that information as I have been reading that Krill Oil is superior to

Omega 3 fish oils (which I already take).

Hi Trish as requested – I have

been quite ill for several weeks and it only just dawned on me it could be the

Krill Oil – I even had to increase my thyroid meds whilst on it not realizing

it was the oil causing the depletion I thought it was the cold weather.

Best wishes

Krill Oil Side Effects

If you cannot imagine your everyday ration without seafood, you have

definitely heard of (or even tasted) krill. They are nothing more than ordinary

crustaceans, which look like small shrimps and are generally found in oceans.

At the same time, they are harvested in lots of Asian countries as well. This

is because they are supposed to be beneficial for human health, which is

explained by high contamination of Omega 3 fatty acids in them. No

wonder, dietitians frequently recommend to use oil that is extracted from krill

for different purposes, such as weight loss, for example.

Prior to discussing the adverse reactions of this

substance, we should first focus on its health benefits. Thus, this supplement

is frequently applied to treat rheumatoid arthritis, regulate the level of

blood pressure, increase the blood sugar and cholesterol levels. This, in its

turn, helps avoid cardiovascular problems, strokes and heart attacks.

Omega – 3s contained in this oil, help prevent congenital health

defects and contribute to better development of eyes and brain of the fetus.

This substance also ensures the development of the nervous system as well as

reduces the risk of getting brain tumors or Alzheimer’s disease.

These are only a few positive properties of this supplement. Now let us

proceed to krill oil side effects. Just like any out seafood product, this

supplement may cause allergic reactions. This is the very first thing that

should be kept in mind by people who are predisposed to different kinds of

allergies. As patients report, the consumption of this product may lead to

bloating, skin rash, itching, irritation, difficulty breathing and swallowing,

vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and discomfort, dizziness, diarrhea, face and

body swelling, lightheadedness etc.

Recent

studies have revealed one more adverse reaction of this supplement, namely its

ability to cancel the healing effects of ordinary medications (such as thyroid and

blood-thinning drugs), which may eventually result in toxicity. So, if you take

any medications, you should obligatory inform your physician about that prior

to taking this drug.

The quality

and additional ingredients of this oil may potentially affect the development

of adverse reactions. Thus, it is supposed that if this product is not quite

pure, then it may lead to health problems, including diarrhea, indigestion,

loose motions, bad breath etc. Nonetheless, in the majority of cases, the

intensity of these conditions depends upon the patient’s state of health

as well as the quantity and quality of the consumed product.
