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.

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (180 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Krill Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

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
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 — see Astaxanthin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Heart, brain, and eye health support.
  • 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.

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.

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, 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.

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?
  • 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 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.

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.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

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.

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.

KrillWell by Live Conscious: Common Questions

Does KrillWell by Live Conscious interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, KrillWell 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?
KrillWell contains 3 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.
What's the difference between krill oil and fish oil?
Both provide omega-3 fatty acids, but they come from different sources — krill oil from tiny shrimp-like crustaceans, fish oil from fish. The product facts here focus on the astaxanthin and omega-3 content; we don't have comparative data between the two.
Will KrillWell help my memory or brain health?
The evidence we hold for astaxanthin in age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease is insufficient to rate — meaning we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those purposes.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools are the main ones reported in studies. At typical doses, these are uncommon; at much higher doses, severe stomach pain has occurred in a small number of people.
Can I take KrillWell if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend it during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you before you start.
Is KrillWell safe for long-term use?
Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety data are limited. If you plan to take it regularly, discuss that with your pharmacist, especially if you're also on prescription medications.
