HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Arctic Plankton Oil 1000 mg by SuperSmart

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Zooca Lipids Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains six active ingredients sourced from Arctic plankton. The main components are two omega-3 fatty acids—eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid—along with stearidonic acid, cetoleic acid, and gondoic acid, which are less common marine lipids.

The formula also includes astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment known for its antioxidant properties. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Astaxanthin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astaxanthin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The product facts do not establish effectiveness ratings for any of the active ingredients in this formula. We hold insufficient evidence to rate astaxanthin for age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

No effectiveness data are on file for the other ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported orally are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools.

At lower doses (6 mg daily), a small number of trial participants experienced increased bowel movements and red fecal color. At higher doses (40 mg daily), severe abdominal pain occurred in a small number of patients.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. We hold no safety information for the other ingredients.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 672 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take Arctic Plankton Oil, double-check any medications you're on that are broken down by the CYP3A4 enzyme (such as certain statins, some immunosuppressants, and some antiretrovirals) or by CYP2B6. Astaxanthin may theoretically lower their blood levels.

Arctic Plankton Oil 1000 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Arctic Plankton Oil 1000 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Arctic Plankton Oil 1000 mg has a known interaction with 671 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Arctic Plankton Oil 1000 mg contains 6 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against it. There isn't enough safety information about astaxanthin during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it during those times. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools are the most commonly reported side effects. At higher doses, severe stomach or abdominal pain has occurred in a small number of people. Most users tolerate it well.
Does this product help with cognitive decline or macular degeneration?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate astaxanthin for age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, macular degeneration, or any other specific health condition. More research is needed.
Why can't you check the omega fatty acids for interactions?
We don't hold interaction data for eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, stearidonic acid, cetoleic acid, or gondoic acid. Only astaxanthin has been evaluated in our database. Your pharmacist can help you research these ingredients separately if you need additional information.
Is there anything else in this capsule besides the active ingredients?
No inactive ingredients are listed for this product—it's just the six active ingredients in softgel form.
