HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 by True Health

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (300 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Krill Oil Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 contains 5 active ingredients.

Three of them—eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and phospholipids—are the working components of krill oil, which is an omega-3 source. The product also includes vitamin A for immune and eye health, and astaxanthin esterified, a carotenoid antioxidant.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, water, and lemon oil coating.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: heart and brain health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Cognitive function, Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Vitamin A is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, and more.

Vitamin A is effective for treating vitamin A deficiency, and there's possibly solid evidence it may help with oral leukoplakia, aging skin, measles, ulcerative colitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. For astaxanthin, the evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for the krill oil components themselves.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin A Krill Oil 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • 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 are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools.

Higher doses have caused severe stomach pain in a small number of people. Vitamin A is generally safe at recommended amounts, but high doses build up in your body and become toxic—causing serious effects like liver damage, headache, and skin problems.

The safety data advises against astaxanthin during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For vitamin A, normal dietary and supplement amounts are appropriate, but high-dose vitamin A (especially as retinol) can cause birth defects and should be avoided in pregnancy; recommended amounts are fine.

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Vitamin A, Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 903 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 taking this supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take retinoid drugs (Major interaction), blood thinners like warfarin, hepatotoxic (liver-damaging) medications, tetracycline antibiotics, or any drugs metabolized through your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 pathways (all Moderate). These interactions could reduce how well your medications work or raise vitamin A to harmful levels.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product combines krill omega-3s with vitamin A and astaxanthin. Vitamin A works well for deficiency and may help a few other conditions; astaxanthin lacks established evidence for the uses listed.

The main concern is vitamin A's potential for toxicity at high doses and interactions with blood thinners, liver medications, tetracyclines, and especially retinoid drugs. Check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and avoid high doses in pregnancy.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 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.

Vitamin A4 drug types · 387 drugs

Retinoids

Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Krill Oil Blend2 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.

Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 by True Health: Common Questions

Does Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 by True Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 has a known interaction with 1,051 medications, including 9 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dr. Cutler's Pure Krill Mega-3 contains 2 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 during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against astaxanthin during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information. For vitamin A, normal dietary and supplement amounts are appropriate in pregnancy, but high-dose vitamin A—especially as retinol—can cause birth defects and should be avoided. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What are the most common side effects?
Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools. Higher doses may cause severe stomach pain. Vitamin A at recommended doses is well tolerated; side effects mainly occur at very high doses.
Is vitamin A in this supplement going to make me sick?
Not at the level in a typical supplement, if taken as directed. Vitamin A toxicity happens with high doses that build up over time—causing fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, and serious liver problems. Stick to the label dose and tell your doctor if you take other vitamin A sources.
What does astaxanthin do in this product?
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid antioxidant added to the formula, but the evidence we hold shows insufficient data to confirm it works for age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer's, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
What is eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid?
Both are omega-3 fatty acids from krill oil—the main working ingredients in this product. We don't have interaction data on file for them individually.
