I stopped krill oil 5 weeks ago. The reason why:
I opened a new bottle of krill and the capsules looked different, a darker shade somehow. When I squeezed out the contents, it pretty much looked the same as always, but I wans't sure. The company claims there is no problem with the capsules.
I opened a fresh bottle with a different darte, also looked different. I take it myself too, and found no adverse effects.
however a few weeks after opeing the new bottle, the cats seemed to be scratching a lot. Now this was also at a time when I has using the Frojntline Plus (the reason why won't go into here) so I didbn't know if it was the flea drops.
After the frontl;ine plus was stopped the scratchi9ng continued.
So I stopped the krill.
Now, back tracking I thought krill helped with skin and coat among other things (I take it for its anti inflammatory purposes). In the winter my girls get flaky skin and split end whiskers, I thought, in spite of the krill.
Off the krill now, their coats are nicer than ever, their skin is not flaking, and I have seen only one split end whisker so far.
Now, krill oil is not fish oil, it comes from a crustacean, not fish. But....how is it that these things that krill is supposed to improve, actually got better after stopping it?
I've decided no more krill (or fish ) oil for the cats.
