HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Living Krill 1000 mg by Divine Health
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
Living Krill 1000 mg contains 5 active ingredients. The main one is krill oil—a marine extract rich in omega-3 fatty acids and astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant.
It also includes eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are the key omega-3 fats found in krill, plus phospholipids that help your body absorb them. The esterified astaxanthin is a concentrated form of that antioxidant.
Your softgel capsule also holds gelatin, vegetable glycerin, and purified water as inactive ingredients to hold everything together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Krill oil is possibly effective for dry eye. For aging skin, Alzheimer disease, cancer, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and cognitive function, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it.
Astaxanthin's effectiveness for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome is also insufficient in the data we hold. If you're taking this product for one of those latter uses, talk with your doctor about what the research really supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Krill oil is generally well tolerated at doses up to 4 grams daily. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal—bloating, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fishy burps, flatulence, heartburn, nausea, and stomach discomfort—though these tend to be milder or less frequent than with fish oil.
Headache, tiredness, and dizziness have been reported rarely. Astaxanthin is also generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited; occasional side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stool.
If you have a shellfish allergy or a bleeding disorder, avoid krill oil or use it only under close medical supervision. There isn't enough safety data to know whether either ingredient is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin)—krill oil may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you take diabetes medications, as krill oil might lower your blood sugar further.
If you're on any medications metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes, astaxanthin may theoretically reduce their levels, so that's worth reviewing too.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may work for dry eye, but for most other claimed uses, the evidence is unclear. The main caution is its interaction potential with blood thinners, diabetes medications, and certain drugs your liver metabolizes—all significant enough to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist first.
If you don't take any of those medication types and don't have a shellfish allergy or bleeding disorder, it's generally well tolerated, though some people do experience stomach upset. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before starting.

Living Krill 1000 mg by Divine Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Living Krill 1000 mg by Divine Health contains krill oil and esterified astaxanthin, both of which interact with medications.
The most serious concern comes through krill oil's potential to increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications)—a Moderate-severity effect. Krill oil may also raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you're taking diabetes medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Astaxanthin, the other active ingredient with documented interactions, may theoretically decrease how your body processes certain drugs. Specifically, it may lower levels of medications broken down by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 enzymes in your liver—both Moderate-severity effects.
These interactions haven't been seen in humans yet, but the potential exists based on lab research.
We could not check three other ingredients—eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and phospholipids—because we hold no interaction data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 839 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Living Krill 1000 mg 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.
esterfied 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.
