Krill are a tiny, tiny animal like a shrimp. I assume that you are concerned due to allergies. Here is a web MD article about krill oil, interactions, etc. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1172-krill%20oil.aspx?activeingredientid=1172&activeingredientname;=krill%20oil. There are many other sources of Omega 3 besides just krill but most are from fish of some type. Some of the ones from regular fish result in "burping" fish which is a nasty taste and odor. Personally, I swear by the Move Free Ultra for helping my arthritis and my high triglycerides and general aches and pains. Best wishes. Krill are a tiny, tiny animal like a shrimp.

If you are asking this because of potential allergic reaction then you will want to speak to your doctor about this first.

Hi! Thanks for your question. Krill is a crustacean, which is a type of shellfish. We hope this information helps! -Rebecca

I don't see anything relating to shell fish ... OMEGA 3 fatty acids Ingredients: Ultra purified fish oil (anchovy), Gelatin, Glyercin, Purified Water, Natural Flavors, Pectin, Sorbitol and mixed Tocopherots.

Being unsure of the shellfish origin in this product, a suggested contact might be the maker of it, whom I believe is Nutramax Laboratories. They have a contact link on their website and seem to be quite informative. Best wishes in finding your answer.

Hi - it is kind of a mixed seafood flavor - the ingredients don't include any shrimp flavor, but there is some beef flavor and cuttlefish, mussel, corvina, sand lance and a little tuna. There is also seaweed. And don't forget the red chili! I often add some rinsed frozen shrimp or frozen seafood mix and that's very tasty. I also sometimes add rehydrated shitake mushrooms and tofu and they don't have anything to do with seafood, but they taste good too.

This version has Evening Primrose Oil in it, a source of GLA (gamma linoleic acid) that is thought to possibly be beneficial to helping regulate a woman's hormones. While EPO helps some, anyone with estrogen sensitivity or dominance concerns should avoid it. Krill on it's own is fine and the more powerful of the two oils anyway.

You may want to check this website: http://www.ikosprogram.com/consumer-reports.aspx or this onehttp://www.streetinsider.com/Press+Releases/NutriGolds+Krill+Oil+Rated+5-Stars+by+IKOS+and+Approved+by+ConsumerLab/9541341.html I use only Nutrigold products because they are NON-GMO, usually organic, free of artificial ingredients, stearates, preservatives, etc. Krill can come from Alaskan waters and Arctic waters as well, I believe...and maybe other places...

Krill is eaten by whales. I'm not sure if other types of fish eat krill - I don't think so. My husband is a marine biologist and he doesn't think other fish eat krill. The Norwegian Gold Critical Omega has other fish oils, besides the anchovies and sardines. Krill, however, is not listed.

I just looked online at a copy of the label and at the bottom of the ingredient panel it says, "Contains shellfish (shrimp, crab, lobster and crayfish)." Hope this helps.

David, I think the question is "what are you looking for in a fish oil?" Krill is the best for you and the important issue for me when I purchased this product was that it was 100% Antarctic Krill and that the producthas phosphollpids for the cell membrane and Astaxanthin which is important for energy transfer and oxidation protection (aging). I did not want any additives and don't think a USP seal really makes a difference since we takeso many herbal supplements that don't have the seal. I think you have to select what you are comfortable with. I found that there was no after taste or burping problem and that this band did not give me an upset stomach as some others.

I can only speak for the Number One Nutrition Omega 3 Krill Oil. One of the major reasons I endorse the product is because there was never any fish odor or taste. With some other prominent Krill products, you can smell the fish odor as soon as the container cap is opened.

The glucosamine is derived from shellfish. From a medical perspective the answer is yes.

These have no shell on them. You can eat them straight out of the bag. They are roasted and salted (a little to much salt, but they are pretty good).

Yes, no shells but they do have their natural brown skins. I just love 'em - I eat 28 of 'em each and every day.
