Are your cholesterol levels worsening? Are you a candidate for statins and you'd prefer not to be? In that case, a human study that Canadian researchers published in Alternative Medicine Review a while ago suggests that krill oil is an interesting option. A hefty dose of the stuff can work wonders with your HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels.

But it is recommended that if you require Statins, you should not rely on Krill oil alone.

For many people, taking krill oil every day will have little negative impact. It can leave a fishy taste in your mouth or make you a little gassy.
The much more serious concern is how krill oil might interact with other drugs you take. If you take blood thinners, also known as anticoagulants and antiplatelets, to help prevent blood clots, krill oil supplements may increase your chances of bleeding problems. In other words, it may help make your blood a little “too thin” so it bleeds more than it should if you get a cut or bruise.

If you take a blood thinner, talk with your doctor first before trying krill oil or fish oil. Improving your cholesterol profile may also include:

  • lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise
  • weight loss, if you’re overweight or obese
  • a heart-healthy diet
  • quitting smoking
  • statins or other medications that lower cholesterol
Krill oil hasn’t been studied as extensively as fish oil supplements, so while it looks like a promising supplement for managing your cholesterol levels, it’s possible that krill oil isn’t as beneficial as it might appear. There don’t appear to be any great risks, though. If your doctor thinks krill oil is safe for you, consider trying the supplements and see what happens to your cholesterol levels.
