Summary

This pilot study tested whether taking krill oil supplements for 12 weeks could help older adults (age 60+) with long-term hip, knee, or lower back pain. The main goal was to see if people would stick with the supplement and find it acceptable. The study also measured changes in pain, physical function, and inflammation markers. Results will guide future larger trials.
