Hi,
I have been suffering from arthritis for several years now, sometimes so bad I could hardly walk. Have tried several supplements etc, none made much difference. I wanted to try every natural remedy I could before going on meds.
I have been taking Krill oil for a few months now and am virtually pain free! I feel normal again, can get on the floor to play with the kids etc.
I am so excited by this, and if one other person can benefit from this, I would be happy, hence posting this.... I hope it helps someone else...

I'm glad you've found some relief!

Is it rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis Qwerty? And where do you get it from?

You can get the Krill oil online, but I get it from my health shop,
Really hope it helps...

Oh thats interesting. My mum has been told she has oesto arthritis in her neck (but we think its rheumatoid) I'll pass this on to her, thanks.

Krill oil is fish oil?
do you eat it or rub it on?
And how long have you been taking it,and how often?Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up.
Whole family has arthritis in various forms.
Will see if I can get some this weekend.

Looking online its also good for PMT and painful periods . Its a high dose of omega 3.

I am not in the UK, but I am sure the Heath shops there stock it.
It is also good for lowering cholestorol and is a strong anti oxidant. It is much more potent than fish oil, you can read more here:

I have been taking 2 twice a day but often forget altogether, then when I feel a twinge I just start again.

Please do post back here if it works for you??

Oh will give that a try, thanks. I've also started a wheat free diet & that has made such a difference. I suggest anyone gives that a go also!
