Brief description This study trials krill oil vs placebo, for painful knee osteoarthritis in people with joint swelling on MRI scans, to assess if krill oil reduces knee pain and knee swelling over 24 weeks. If krill oil can delay loss of knee cartilage through effects on cartilage and bone, this this could lead to a delay in the time to knee replacement surgery and improvements in quality of life for those suffering from OA.
