NEPTUNE KRILL OIL 500mg – 120 softgels

Caro pero bueno.

Without posting my long, arduous history regarding cheap fish oils from major retailers, I’ll get straight to the point:I am a young man, who has a chronically dislocated shoulder, muscle aches, and arthritis in my knees and ankle joints.I also used to experience headaches on a daily basis.For years, I dealt with taking aspirin and other NSAIDs to attempt to alleviate the pain, to no avail.I even tried taking a glucosamine-chondroitin supplement to reduce the pain I was experiencing.Then, I happened on an article posted by Dr. Mercola about the benefits of Krill oil.Intrigued, I tried a few brands (Schiff’s MegaRed, Puritan’s Pride) and noticed a slight alleviation to my muscle and joint pain, but had horrible shellfish burps with both brands.I dealt with it for several months, but finally decided to start searching for an alternative that didn’t have this side-effect and might be more beneficial.I finally checked Amazon for an enteric-coated capsule that would do the trick, and found the NOW Foods 1000mg Krill oil, and went ahead and ordered it.Personally, I found it to be a superior quality product, without any sort of burps or foul taste coming back after my morning snack and coffee.I was so satisfied with the joint pain relief that I experienced from this product, that I went ahead and decided to order the (slightly cheaper) Krill 500mg pills, which have the same 1000mg-per-serving formation, except in two capsules rather than one.However, after ordering, I noticed that the pills weren’t coated. I was a little concerned, but decided to wait and see what kind of results I would have; I have learned since that any sort of krill oil that causes burps is likely rancid, which was surprising considering that krill is supposed to contain astaxanthin- a powerful antioxidant.Still concerned about shellfish burps, I went ahead and trusted NOW Foods to deliver me a product that wasn’t rancid; having positive results with the coated version. I was not disappointed; there have been NO burps, even when I take these pills with a cup of hot coffee in the morning.I’ve actually been feeling even better than when I did taking the 1000mg coated version.Honestly, I can’t explain why, but I like the difference.My blood tests have began to become even more positive, and my good cholesterol has improved significantly (I worked in a bakery and had a little too much of a sweet tooth) from where it was. I can focus better, my memory has improved, and my joint pain has lessened- my headaches are completely gone.Seeing as these (rather drastic) results coincided with my consumption of Krill (discontinuation through running out causes the joint pain and focus issues to return) compared to fish oil or aspirin, I will continue to take it for as long as possible.I recommend NOW Foods Krill to every person experiencing the same problems I am, and the coated 1000mg version to those who have experienced shellfish/fish burps from other products (many of them are leery of taking ANY sort of fish or krill oil due to such experiences) from “major” brands found at supermarkets and pharmacies.I couldn’t be happier with a krill product, and I’ll continue to order this one for as long as I take krill.I have also tried other NOW Foods supplements which were also quite effective, so I do not foresee a drop in quality any time soon.
