Krill oil for knee arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if Antarctic krill oil supplements can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis. If you are 45-75 and have knee pain, this study could offer a new natural option.
