What Is The Proper Dosage Of Krill Oil?

Hi I take 2-3 x500mg krill oil daily in an attempt to reduce inflammation from an ankle tfracture of years ago which is now getting stiff as I age when I exercise. It works to ease the pain and stiffness but my urine smells fishy. Am I taking too much. I am55 and weigh 6 stone 8 pounds. I am 4ft10 ins tall and fit Amanda

Hi

Krill Oil Capsules is a good source of Omega 3 (EPA & DHA) and other antioxidants.

As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules daily before meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.As mentioned above it is only a dietary supplement and mainly used in prophylaxis.

This oil alone may not be efficient in reducing inflammation associated with fractures.Combine with pain killers for reducing pain and inflammation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
