\r\n \r\n Good to hear. I hope any previous worries he may have had will now go away.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I just wanted to update this thread.
\n
\nMy dad appears to still be benefiting from the krill oil - with regard to his nighttime bathroom visits.
\n
\nHis PSA is also down a bit. I don\'t know if it\'s related to his krill oil usage but, it\'s a possibility.
\n
\nI just thought some of you might like to know and give it a try.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Hi Harry....That was me recommended the Krill oil.
\n
\nA friend of mine in PA was prescribed flomax for BPH. He called me and wanted to know what he could take instead of a drug. I told him he could try Krill Oil. Well he had another appointment in two weeks and he didn\'t get on the Krill Oil until 3 days prior. The Doctor examined him and said the flomax is working, you have no swelling. My friend said "I am not taking Flomax, I got it down in 3 days with Krill Oil." I guess the doctor was flabergasted.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Is Dr Mercola\'s Kril oil a good one to buy?\r\n

\r\n \r\n Thanks, WyoJim!

\n
\nSteelbone,
\n
\nI think Dr. Mercola\'s krill oil is quite good but it\'s more expensive than comparable products available from Jarrow Formulas and Now Foods. Both of those brands should be as effective and will save you some money - if you shop carefully online.
\n
\nBe well!\r\n

\r\nBTW, Mercola is giving free shipping now on all products.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I\'m running low on Omega 3 Fish Oil, and I planned to try Krill Oil. While researching it, I came across this more than once. It appears that virtually all the Krill Oil is produced at Neptune Technologies, so I\'m thinking that brand has to be the newest and the freshest.
\n
\n�Virtually all krill oil is produced by Neptune Technologies and shipped to the various supplement manufacturers, so any krill oil you get will have come from the same place and be the same dosage. The only unknown is how long it has been sitting around in a warehouse somewhere, which is, of course, the same unknown with fish oil. At least with krill oil, thanks to the high anti-oxidant content, the shelf life is much longer.�
\n
\n"Two major supplement manufacturers, Jarrow Formulas and Source Naturals, market Neptune�s NKO under their label."\r\n

\r\n \r\n Kind2Creatures,
\n
\nThere are a few other sources of krill oil as well. For instance, Vitacost sells a product under their NSI label that is made by Cyvex. The composition of said product is different (in terms of omega-3s and phospholipid concentrations) and significantly cheaper (price-wise). Recently they\'ve also started producing another krill oil supplement, which is more expensive, that is more like Neptune Krill Oil.
\n
\nI *believe* that Jarrow has recently switched to a different (but comparable) krill oil source - manufactured by Azantis.
\n
\nBe well!\r\n

\r\n \r\n Thanks Harry, that\'s good to know. While I don\'t have a lot of money to spend on supplements, which already take over my entire medicine chest, and then some, I prefer not to waste money on inferior products.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Krill oil huh?. I\'ve suffered from an enlarged prostate since a very early age. Prescription drugs were expensive and never really seemed to have helped. Back in the old days you\'d get a prostate massage when visiting a doctor that helped but that went away with the times..I\'m overwelmed by all of the natural supplements that are supposed to shrink the prostate but I\'ll deffinately try the Krill Oil..Any other testimonials about the benefis of Krill Oil, I\'d love to hear them....Pete\r\n

\r\n \r\n Hi there Harry,
\r\n
\r\nWhen I first read your post , I thought you must have been one of my children as you described me to a tee.
\r\nI have been on natural things for years, also been having 4-6 night time pee\'s for a few years. Started on natural prostate formulas about nine months ago and got the night time pee\'s back to 2-4. I switched from fish oil to krill oil about six months ago.
\r\nRecently, about a week ago, my supply of krill oil ran out as my order has not arrived. Since I have not been taking any krill oil, my night time pee\'s have reduced to 1-0, except for the day I had to drink more than my normal water intake, for a radio scan.
\r\nAlthough I believe krill oil to be generally beneficial, I am considering stopping or reducing my intake.
\r\nHas anyone else had a similar experience??
\r\n
\r\nCheers,\r\n

\r\n \r\n I totally solved the problem of needing to pee in the night by increasing MELATONIN secretion and using a time release melatonin supplement.
\n
\nMelatonin reduces urine output during the night and also relaxes the bladder muscle walls so not only is their less urine to fill the bladder there is also a greater carrying capacity.
\n
\nf.lux: software to make your life better will help increase evening melatonin secretion. Eye masks/ear plugs may help melatonin secretion through the night if you can\'t block out all light/noise from bedroom. Time Release melatonin is cheap and safe and as we normally are less able to create our own melatonin as we age increasing the amount via supplementation is a sensible alternative.
\nMelatonin is a very good iron chelator so is extremely helpful in neuroprotection. It\'s generally too late by the time Alzheimer\'s is diagnosed to make much difference so preventing neurological damage is the way to go and preserving Circadian Rhythm and melatonin secretion is a safe/sensible strategy to delay progression.
\n
\nI would guess krill oil would be anti-inflammatory so may have an impact on inflammation in the urinary tract and play a role in supporting kidney function.\r\n

\nInteresting and good to know. Ran into a guy on a trail who had been to a workshop on Alzheimer\'s. His prevention was to work out to the point of perspiration, "You MUST sweat" he said. Learned later reading Bill Sardi that perspiration eliminates iron.\r\n
