HelloPharmacist Scorecard of High Concentration Omega-3 Krill Oil 750 mg by Schiff MegaRed
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
Partial disclosure
This krill oil supplement has 4 active ingredients: krill oil (the whole ingredient blend), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and phospholipids. EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids — the main reason people take krill oil.
Phospholipids are fat-like compounds that help the body absorb those omega-3s. Each softgel delivers 750 mg of the full krill oil blend.
The product also contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which gives krill oil its red color. The inactive ingredients are gelatin, glycerin, water, ethyl vanillin (for flavor), sorbitol, and sulfur dioxide.
Does it work?
Not established
We don't have reliable evidence to rate astaxanthin's effectiveness for any of its common uses — age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome. That means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say whether it works for these purposes.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects from oral use are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stool.
In trial doses of 6 mg daily, a small number of participants reported increased bowel movements and red stool. At higher doses (40 mg daily), severe stomach or abdominal pain occurred in a small number of cases.
The safety data advises against taking this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for the baby.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications processed through the CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 pathways in your liver — astaxanthin may theoretically lower their blood levels. Use the interaction checker on this page to look up your exact medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you don't take medications broken down by CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes in your liver, this product has no documented interactions. Even so, because astaxanthin's safety in the long term is still being studied, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications.

High Concentration Omega-3 Krill Oil 750 mg by Schiff MegaRed Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Schiff MegaRed High Concentration Omega-3 Krill Oil contains astaxanthin, which has documented interactions with certain medications.
The most serious concern is a moderate interaction with drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme — astaxanthin may theoretically lower their blood levels and reduce how well they work. This effect has been seen in lab studies of human liver cells, but not yet confirmed in people taking the supplement.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Astaxanthin also theoretically interacts with medications processed through the CYP2B6 enzyme in a similar way — it may decrease their levels. Again, this is based on lab findings, not human studies.
We couldn't check the other three active ingredients — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and phospholipids — because we hold no interaction data for them. That doesn't mean they don't interact; it means they haven't been flagged in our current database.

For each ingredient in High Concentration Omega-3 Krill Oil 750 mg 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.
Astaxanthin
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates
Theoretically, astaxanthin may decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that astaxanthin induces cytochrome CYP2B6 enzyme activity in human hepatocytes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, astaxanthin may decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that astaxanthin induces CYP3A4 enzyme activity in human hepatocytes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Krill Oil
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.
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.
