I’m sure that by now you’ve heard all about how wonderful it is to take fish oil as part of your nutritional plan. And as someone with a huge bottle of fish oil pills in my fridge, I can tell you that there are MANY benefits to taking this supplement.
So when I was recently contacted by the folks at Everest Nutrition (now part of Viva Labs) about Krill Oil, I assumed that it was pretty much the same as taking fish oil. After all, Krill is just a tiny shrimp-like creature, so it likely has similar benefits to fish oil.
But I was wrong! The list of health benefits associated with krill oil is HUGE! For example, a study published by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that Krill Oil can reduce heart damaging inflammation. It was also found to be more effective than fish oil at reducing “bad” cholesterol (that’s LDL) and increasing “good” cholesterol (that’s HDL).
Other benefits of Krill Oil that have been confirmed by research include the following:
- joint health support
- PMS symptom relief
- lower risk of cardiovascular incidents by up to 45%
- improve brain health and memory function
- reduce early aging lines in the skin
- boost energy by 50%
These are some amazing health benefits! Not only am I glad to now be taking Krill Oil, but I also want to get some for my parents, and in particular, my father who has had some heart health issues in the past.
One benefit that isn’t as impressive as the list above, but when I am really enjoying day-to-day, is the fact that Krill Oil does not give you what are called “fish burps.” I know, that’s a strange and even gross term, but when you take fish oil, you sometimes will burp and it will taste like, you guessed it, fish. Kind of gross, especially when you haven’t eaten any fish that day! This just doesn’t happen with Krill Oil, which is a nice little bonus.
Have you tried Krill Oil yet? Viva Labs has a very good deal going on right now if you order 4 bottles at a time, they will give you two more bottles for free, as well as free shipping! The total for this value set is $119.80. Or you can just try one bottle for $29.95.

Combating inflammation! I have had bad knees since I was little (several surgeries since age 13), and inflammation and arthritis are the two worst enemies of my knee! It would be wonderful to be able to take a supplement daily that might help prevent it rather than having to take an anti-inflammatory after it’s already swollen!

My endocrinologist insists on my taking Krill oil. Like you, I assumed it was just like all the other swimmyfishy oils out there, but no, it’s superpowered, especially for people with diabetes, who sometimes have associated cholesterol-related issues. (I don’t, but it helps with triglicerides too, apparently.) So, yay!
