HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Biothin Keto Krill by Dr. Mercola

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 7 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Keto Krill Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Biothin Keto Krill contains 7 ingredients. The active ones are eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (both omega-3 fatty acids from krill oil), choline, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and caprylic acid — a short-chain fatty acid.

These work together as components of the krill oil blend and support cellular function and brain health. The capsules are made from fish gelatin, which is an inactive ingredient (a binder that holds the formula together).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Brain and cognitive function, blood flow support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Cognitive function, Dementia, Memory — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Alzheimer disease.
  • Also on file: Choline is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Cognitive function, and more.

The evidence for these ingredients is mixed. Phosphatidylserine is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.

Phosphatidylcholine is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis. For the others — choline for athletic performance and cognitive decline, caprylic acid for epilepsy — the evidence isn't strong enough to rate.

The data we hold doesn't establish whether this combination works for whatever goal you have in mind, so ask your pharmacist or doctor what the research says for your specific situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Choline Phosphatidylserine Krill Oil Phosphatidylcholine Caprylic Acid

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Choline is generally well tolerated in the amounts found in food, though high-dose supplements can cause side effects, and there's a daily upper limit of 3.5 grams. Doses at or above 9 grams daily have been reported to cause diarrhea, nausea, sweating, and vomiting.

You might also notice a fishy body odor at high doses. Phosphatidylcholine is generally well tolerated, but large doses can cause bloating, diarrhea, nausea, altered taste, and vomiting.

Phosphatidylserine can cause flatulence, gastrointestinal upset, headache, insomnia, and nausea, especially at higher doses. Caprylic acid appears well tolerated in the short term but may cause mild abdominal discomfort and changes in taste.

Choline is rated likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as advised by your doctor, since it's important for both. Phosphatidylcholine safety beyond food amounts isn't well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your healthcare provider first.

Phosphatidylserine safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Caprylic acid safety in pregnancy isn't well established — avoid supplement doses unless your doctor approves — and use caution while breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 3 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Choline, Phosphatidylserine, Caprylic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 478 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 this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications, blood thinners (warfarin), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anticholinergic drugs (like those for overactive bladder), or cholinergic drugs (like those for myasthenia gravis). Caprylic acid and phosphatidylserine both carry Moderate interactions with several of these.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help with cognitive decline or ulcerative colitis based on some of its ingredients, but the evidence is incomplete. It's not for you if you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners like warfarin, NSAIDs regularly, or certain brain-affecting medications — check your list first.

Choline, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylserine can cause digestive upset, especially at higher doses. Talk with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any prescription drugs.

For each ingredient in Biothin Keto Krill with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Caprylic Acid3 drug types · 262 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, caprylic acid might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that caprylic acid might have positive inotropic effects, resulting in reduced arterial pressure and vascular resistance and increased cardiac output.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

Theoretically, caprylic acid might increase plasma concentrations of NSAIDs.
In vitro research suggests that caprylic acid might displace NSAIDs from binding sites on albumin. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, caprylic acid might increase plasma concentrations of warfarin.
In vitro research suggests that high doses of caprylic acid might displace warfarin from albumin binding sites. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Phosphatidylserine2 drug types · 219 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might decrease the effectiveness anticholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically interfere with the activity of anticholinergic agents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might have additive effects with cholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically lead to additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Phosphatidylserine full monograph & interactions

Keto Krill Oil2 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, krill oil may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Taking high doses of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil can modestly decrease platelet aggregation. Since krill oil also contains these fatty acids, taking high doses of krill oil might also inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, taking high doses of krill oil with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs might increase the risk of bleeding. However, the omega-3 content of krill oil is much lower than that of fish oil.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking krill oil with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some research in animals and humans shows that krill oil might lower blood glucose levels. However, a small study shows that taking krill oil does not reduce blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Keto Krill Oil full monograph & interactions

Choline1 drug type · 16 drugs

Atropine

Theoretically, choline might decrease the effects of atropine in the brain.
Animal research shows that administering choline one hour before administering atropine can attenuate atropine-induced decreases in brain levels of acetylcholine. Theoretically, concomitant use of choline and atropine may decrease the effects of atropine.

Biothin Keto Krill by Dr. Mercola: Common Questions

Does Biothin Keto Krill by Dr. Mercola interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Biothin Keto Krill has a known interaction with 620 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Biothin Keto Krill contains 4 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.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Choline is rated likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as your doctor advises. Phosphatidylcholine safety beyond food amounts isn't well studied, so check with your doctor. Phosphatidylserine safety data advises against it — avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Caprylic acid safety in pregnancy isn't well established, so avoid supplement doses unless your doctor approves; use caution while breastfeeding. Talk with your healthcare provider before taking this.
What side effects might I experience?
Most common are digestive: bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence, especially at higher doses. You might also notice a fishy body odor (from choline metabolism), mild abdominal discomfort, headache, altered taste, or insomnia. Very high doses of choline can cause vomiting and sweating.
Does this help with brain health or memory?
Phosphatidylserine is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. The evidence for the other ingredients — choline and phosphatidylcholine — isn't strong enough to rate for brain health in our data. Ask your pharmacist whether this combination fits what you're trying to achieve.
What's caprylic acid and why is it in here?
Caprylic acid is a short-chain fatty acid that occurs naturally in coconut oil and breast milk. It's included in keto-focused products because it's thought to support ketone production, though the evidence for epilepsy and other conditions is insufficient. It's generally well tolerated at food doses.
Is there a daily upper limit for any of these ingredients?
Yes. Choline has a tolerable upper intake level of 3.5 grams daily — doses above that can cause side effects. The others don't have established upper limits in our data, but high doses of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine have been shown to cause digestive upset.
Can I take this with my other supplements?
We only have interaction data for prescription medications. If you're taking other supplements, ask your pharmacist — they can check whether anything in your routine might interact with the choline, phosphatidylserine, or caprylic acid in this product.
