HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Krill Oil 1000 mg by Innate Vitality

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 13, 2026

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Krill 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 4 active ingredients working together. Krill oil itself is a marine source of omega-3 fatty acids — specifically eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid — which support heart and brain health.

Phospholipids carry these fatty acids efficiently into your bloodstream. Astaxanthin is a natural red pigment from marine algae that acts as a potent antioxidant.

The softgel also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and water to hold everything together.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: cardiovascular, cognitive, joint, eye and skin health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Age-related cognitive decline, Cognitive function, Alzheimer disease — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Alzheimer disease, Dry eye, Hyperlipidemia, and more.

The evidence we hold on astaxanthin alone doesn't establish it as effective for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome — all rated insufficient reliable evidence. The data we have doesn't speak to krill oil's effectiveness for any condition, so we can't tell you what this product is meant to do based on the facts here.

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 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.

In trials, doses of 6 mg daily caused increased bowel movements and red stools in a small number of participants, while a higher 40 mg dose caused severe abdominal pain in two patients. Because there isn't enough safety data, the evidence advises against using this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be.

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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 liver enzymes — these are moderate-severity interactions. Astaxanthin may lower levels of these medications, though this hasn't been proven in humans yet.

Your pharmacist can search your medications against our database using the tool on this page.

The bottom line

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

If you take medications broken down by your liver — especially heart drugs, blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or statins — you'll want to check them against this product's astaxanthin content before starting. The interaction is theoretical but documented.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific medications and whether this krill oil is a good fit for you.

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.
