 Easier to swallow Oct 31, 2009
By Trent
My mother is 92 and cannot swallow the large adult size capsules. This product is better for people of any age having some swallowing problems. She did not like the taste of liquid fish oil (even the lemon flavored type). Kids Krill Oil capsules work fine for her. I believe it helps relieve her symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Also, the medical literature indicates that regular sources of omega-3 (along with a source of vitamin D3) can significantly reduce risk of macular degeneration. As an aside, her opthalmologist was concerned 2 years ago that she was on the brink of developing macular degeneration. We immediately started supplementing with omega-3 + a source of vitamin D3 along with more green vegetables, and subsequent testing showed improved eye health relative to macular degeneration. To date, still she is still free of macular degeneration.

 Not great for little kids who can't swallow pills Dec 05, 2011
By MayOK
I want to supplement my kids with omega 3 fats for many reasons, and I believe that krill oil is superior to fish oil, so was excited to try this. We have used the Dr. Sears chewable fish oil in the past. I don't know what I was thinking, but I kind of hoped that this was optionally chewable as well. It's not. So if your kids can't swallow pills, you'd be better off passing it up until they can. I tried to talk my 6 yo daughter through the swallowing process, but that didn't work so well. So now, I let it sit in a cup of orange juice for awhile until the capsule softens, use a mini food processor to mix it all up, strain out what is left of the capsule and have her drink it. The krill oil itself tastes and smells vile, so this turned out to be the best way for her to drink it without sobbing the whole time. When I tried to empty the capsule manually, most of it got on my fingers and all over the inside of the cup and was a mess. It's a lot of trouble for a supplement, for sure. Once we run out of these, I'll go back to the fish oil supps until they learn how to swallow pills.

not kid friendly May 03, 2010
By Mr. Paul Ng

I got this for the kids but my son who is 7 just won't take it - he would throw them out when I'm not looking. My girl who is 10 is ok with it. I'm sure this is a good product but it is just not kid friendly.
