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
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 is a 4-ingredient softgel delivering krill oil — a marine source of omega-3 fatty acids — plus astaxanthin, a carotenoid (plant pigment) found in krill and other seafood. The krill oil provides eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, the two main omega-3s, along with phospholipids that help your body absorb them.

Astaxanthin is included for its antioxidant properties. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerol, and water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Astaxanthin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astaxanthin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold on astaxanthin's effectiveness is limited. For age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration (AMD), aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome, the research available is insufficient to rate whether it actually works.

The data we have doesn't establish efficacy for these uses.

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 are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools — mild and temporary in most cases.

At higher doses (40 mg daily), some people have reported severe stomach pain. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so the evidence advises against use.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether KrillWell is appropriate for your situation.

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?
  • 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, double-check any medications metabolized by CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 with your doctor or pharmacist. This includes many statins, blood pressure drugs, immunosuppressants, antihistamines, some antidepressants, and antiretrovirals — astaxanthin may lower their levels and reduce their effect.

No interactions are documented for the omega-3 components themselves in our data.

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

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.
Does krill oil work for heart health or brain function?
The data we hold on astaxanthin — the active compound in this product — doesn't establish effectiveness for any of those uses. For conditions like Alzheimer disease, age-related cognitive decline, AMD, or athletic performance, the evidence is insufficient to say whether it works.
Can I take KrillWell if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data. The evidence advises against use in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools are the most common. These are usually mild. At higher doses, some people have had severe stomach pain, so start low and watch how you respond.
What exactly is astaxanthin?
It's a carotenoid — a pigment found in krill and other seafood — that acts as an antioxidant in your body. It's included in KrillWell for that antioxidant role, though the evidence for specific health benefits is limited.
Why do I need to check my medications with this product?
Astaxanthin may speed up how your liver breaks down certain drugs, lowering their levels in your blood. This could make medications like statins, blood pressure drugs, or antiretrovirals less effective. It's theoretical so far — not proven in people — but important enough to confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
