HelloPharmacist Scorecard of KrillWell by Live Conscious
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
KrillWell contains 4 active ingredients: krill oil (which provides eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid — both omega-3 fatty acids) and astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant. The product also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, glycerol, and water, which form the softgel capsule.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold rates astaxanthin's effectiveness for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome as insufficient to reliably establish benefit. We don't have effectiveness data on file for the omega-3 components (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) in this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported orally are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools.
At standard doses (6 mg daily), a small number of trial participants experienced increased bowel movements and red stool color. One study at a much higher dose (40 mg daily) reported two cases of severe stomach pain.
There isn't enough safety data to recommend KrillWell during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking KrillWell, check whether you're on any drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes — these are Moderate-severity interactions. Your pharmacist can tell you if your medications fall into either group.
We could not assess three other ingredients in this product for drug interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
KrillWell is a krill-oil and astaxanthin supplement generally well tolerated at typical doses. If you take medications metabolized by your liver — especially those processed through CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 — check with your pharmacist before starting it, since astaxanthin may lower their levels.

KrillWell by Live Conscious Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
KrillWell by Live Conscious contains krill oil and astaxanthin.
We could not check the interaction data for eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, or phospholipids — we hold no monographs for them. Astaxanthin, however, has documented interactions.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Astaxanthin may theoretically decrease the effectiveness of drugs broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme system. This is a Moderate-severity concern based on lab research in human cells, though it hasn't yet been reported in actual patients.
The same applies to drugs metabolized by the CYP2B6 enzyme — astaxanthin may lower their levels.
Altogether, these interactions span 661 individual medications. To find out whether your specific prescriptions fall into either of these enzyme groups, use the medication checker on this page before you start KrillWell.

For each ingredient in KrillWell 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.
