It Must Be the Krill Oil?
I'm a soon to be a 62 year old man. I had been taking a Fish Oil supplement from a warehouse membership club for a few years just because I thought it would help my cholesterol levels. Did it? I don't know.
It was getting close to time that I would need to buy another huge jug of fish oil when I watched an online advertisement for another brand of Krill Oil. It was one of those ads that I hate which was for a miracle cure for everything. The ad seem to take about 10 minutes to tell all the benefits for the product without actually saying what the product was. The more miracles that the product claimed to cure and the more time I had invested in watching the ad, I was determined to find out what the product was. Well, I finally found out it was an ad for Krill Oil. I had heard of Krill oil, but never knew what it was or cared to investigate it. This company was offering some kind of Ponzi scheme of ordering their Krill Oil which could be bought only from them. No thanks!
But the ad did pique my curiosity and I started to do research on different brands of Krill Oil. After doing extensive research I decided that the brand I would try was the Viva Labs.
My first order was for 4 bottles, which would be enough for two months since I decided to do the aggressive therapy of 4 capsules a day, two with first meal and another two with my second meal. I've just received my second order of 4 bottles since I feel that it just might be responsible for a couple of miracles so far...
The first thing I noticed after about the first week was how often I was urinating. I can only assume the Viva Labs Krill Oil was acting as some kind of a diuretic. The swelling in my ankles, calves and fingers started to abate. Folks this is a nagging problem I've had for years. After about the first month my urination frequency returned to normal, but the swelling due to water retention has not returned. I do consider this a miracle!
The second thing I noticed was even more remarkable!
I haven't been able to go out in public for a few years now, if sitting was involved. Both my knees experienced excruciating pain when sitting down or getting up out of a chair. This pain was so severe that I could not get up or sit down without screaming out an involuntary loud cry of pain. [and I mean LOUD!] I had no problem in bearing the pain, but the screaming out in public was too embarrassing to endure. All the medications that would slightly ease the pain were for temporary use and ate my stomach up and no telling what they were doing to my liver. My knees did not hurt while sitting, while walking or laying down. My family begged me to see about getting knee replacements. What could this possibly have to do with Viva Labs Krill Oil?
After a couple of weeks of Viva Labs Krill Oil therapy I started to notice less pain in my knees when rising or sitting. And the loud screams were toning down to a loud grunt. After another couple of weeks the pain was barely there and I only let out a whimper. By the time I had almost finished the 2 month supply my knees were pain free and no sounds whatsoever when I sat or got up. I definitely consider this a miracle also!
I honestly cannot say that Viva Labs Krill Oil had anything to do with either of my miracles. I can say that the only thing that changed in my daily routine was adding the Viva Labs Krill Oil therapy! Anyway, I'm on my second order of 4 bottles now and somehow it just doesn't seem quite as expensive as the first order did! [same price for both orders] Also, I can't help to believe it may be doing a lot more behind the scenes that I don't know about...
