I have a carotenoid sensitivity and am concerned about the astaxanthin content of krill oil, but would really like to have the other benefits of krill oil.  I've never noticed allergies to shellfish, but do have allergies to some fish with pink flesh such as trout and salmon. What can I do? Thanks for your time.

[mercola]

@kyndra1966  Would be safe to try small amount one capsule or less and observe for any reactions. If you experience none then you can increase dose to two per day. Astaxanthin is clearly a carotenoid, probably the most important one with loads of benefits. Would be ashame if you could not use it.

I have a question you know how krill oil contains astaxanthin, does taking krill oil give you the same amount you would if you just took astaxanthin supplement.

[mercola]

@The360dot No only partial. Astaxathin supplements have 2-4 times as much astaxanthin.

IShould I keep my krill OUTSIDE the refrigerator?

or just keep it out of the freezer. Thanks

[mercola]

@ronaldvanbell Because krill has potent antioxidant, astaxanthin, refrigeration is unnecessary.

This guy always has great advice you'll never hear from the standard "prescriptions solve everything" style of doctor. Unfortunately most of what he recommends is very expensive. You have to be rich to be super healthy I guess. That's why it annoys me when I see all these high income people eating junk food, and soda like poor people. They could have the finest organic diets and supplements but instead they choose the lazy junk food/prescription drug route.

DR.Mercola We Love you!!! Thanks for all the hard work you have done and the good spirit of helping others the right way. Happy Holidays!

Hi Dr.Mercola,

Antioxidants aside (I'm supplementing purely for bioavailable EPA and DHA), which form of marine oil offers the best value (I'm on a budget)?

I'll continue supplementing with fish oil until I know that krill oil offers better value for bioavailable EPA and DHA.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

One of my bottles of Krill Oil came in with 3 leaked capliques. The fluid is all over all the others. I've been taking 2 out each day, and rinsing them before I take them. Is this safe?

Doesn't krill oil help with vision conditions? I was told to get some as I have Cone Dystophy.

Man, you're so intelligent...

@mercola thanks for the response! I understand it is no necessary. The question is whether it is healthier to the phospholipids keep it outside the fridge. otherwise I would keep it inside.
