HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jocko Super Krill by Jocko Fuel

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.

Jocko Super Krill contains 5 ingredients: krill oil, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, total omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and esterified astaxanthin. The main actives are krill oil—a marine source of omega-3 fatty acids—and astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant also found in certain seafood.

There are no inactive fillers listed.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

  • Dry eye via Krill Oil Possibly Effective
Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dry eye — rated "Possibly Effective" (Krill Oil) (Natural Medicines).

Krill oil is possibly effective for dry eye. For other conditions—aging skin, Alzheimer disease, cancer, high cholesterol, and cognitive function—the evidence is insufficient to rate it.

Astaxanthin similarly lacks reliable evidence for age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Neither ingredient's effectiveness is established in our data for most of the claims you might see.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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.

Krill oil is generally well tolerated in doses up to 4 grams daily. Common side effects include bloating, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fishy burps, flatulence, heartburn, nausea, and stomach discomfort.

These tend to be less frequent or severe than with fish oil alone. Headache, tiredness, and dizziness have been reported rarely.

Avoid krill oil if you have a shellfish allergy and use caution if you have a bleeding disorder. Astaxanthin is also generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited.

Reported side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red fecal color. Higher doses (40 mg daily) have caused severe stomach pain in a small number of cases.

For pregnancy, the safety data are insufficient for both krill oil and astaxanthin—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using either during pregnancy or 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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Astaxanthin, Krill Oil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 839 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 product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (the krill oil may raise bleeding risk), diabetes medications (krill oil might lower blood sugar further), or drugs broken down by CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes in your liver (astaxanthin may slow their clearance). Altogether, these interactions span 839 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product combines krill oil and astaxanthin to target dry eye and general wellness. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it—the interactions are documented but not yet proven in humans, and the risk may still matter to you.

Expect possible digestive side effects like fishy burps and stomach discomfort. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a bleeding disorder.

Esterified Astaxanthin2 drug types · 671 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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.

Jocko Super Krill by Jocko Fuel: Common Questions

Does Jocko Super Krill by Jocko Fuel interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Jocko Super Krill has a known interaction with 838 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Jocko Super Krill contains 5 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.
Will this product interfere with my blood thinner?
Possibly. Krill oil may increase your bleeding risk if combined with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs by slowing how your blood clots. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product—they can weigh the benefit against the risk based on your dose and your specific medication.
Can I take this if I'm taking diabetes medication?
Check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Krill oil might lower blood sugar in some people, which could strengthen your medication's effect and raise the risk of low blood sugar. One small study found no blood-sugar reduction, so the effect isn't certain—but it's worth monitoring.
What are the most common side effects?
Bloating, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fishy burps, flatulence, heartburn, nausea, and stomach discomfort are the most common, usually from the krill oil. These tend to be milder with krill oil than with fish oil. Rare side effects include headache, tiredness, and dizziness.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data for either krill oil or astaxanthin during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding—they can advise you based on your individual situation.
Does this product have a shellfish allergy warning?
Yes. Krill is a shellfish-like crustacean, so avoid this product if you have a shellfish allergy. Also use caution if you have a bleeding disorder.
Is krill oil actually better than fish oil?
Krill oil does contain omega-3 fatty acids like fish oil, but research on its effectiveness is incomplete. It is possibly effective for dry eye. For most other uses—aging skin, cognitive function, high cholesterol—evidence is insufficient to rate it.
