HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Move Free Ultra Omega by Schiff Move Free

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (353 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Move Free Ultra Omega contains three active ingredients in a softgel capsule. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment with antioxidant properties; hyaluronic acid is a compound found naturally in joints and skin that helps retain moisture; and krill oil is a marine-derived oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and phospholipids.

The capsule shell and fill use gelatin, olive oil, glycerin, water, beeswax, and food colorings, along with mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) and rosemary extract as preservatives.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: joint comfort and health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Joint pain, Joint inflammation, Cartilage health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Hyaluronic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
  • Also on file: Krill Oil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

For astaxanthin and krill oil, the evidence we hold rates effectiveness as insufficient for most conditions they're marketed for — including aging skin, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer disease. Hyaluronic acid is rated possibly effective for dry eye and venous leg ulcers (slow-healing wounds on the legs), though evidence is limited.

For other uses listed — allergic rhinitis, sexual dysfunction, aging skin, cancer — the data we hold does not establish effectiveness. You may see marketing claims that go beyond what research currently supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin Hyaluronic Acid Krill Oil

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Astaxanthin and krill oil are generally well tolerated at typical doses, though long-term safety data are limited for both. Astaxanthin may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools; krill oil commonly causes fishy aftertaste, bloating, heartburn, or nausea — usually mild and less severe than fish oil.

Hyaluronic acid is well tolerated orally, though the data note that long-term supplement safety isn't fully studied. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, astaxanthin safety data are insufficient, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Krill oil safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding also hasn't been reliably studied — talk to your doctor before using if you're pregnant or nursing. Hyaluronic acid has inadequate safety information for pregnancy and breastfeeding, so your doctor should clear it first.

If you have a shellfish allergy, krill oil is a concern, and if you have a bleeding disorder, krill oil warrants caution.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin Hyaluronic Acid Krill Oil

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Astaxanthin, Krill Oil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 839 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.

If you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — krill oil may increase bleeding risk. Diabetes medications also need a review, since krill oil might lower blood sugar further.

Additionally, if you're on any medication broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes — a very broad group — astaxanthin may slow that breakdown and raise drug levels. Use the interaction search tool on this page with your exact medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Move Free Ultra Omega is marketed for joint and skin health, but evidence for most of those claims is thin. The bigger issue is medication interactions — astaxanthin may affect how your liver processes hundreds of drugs, and krill oil may boost bleeding risk if you're on blood thinners or diabetes medications.

If you take any prescriptions, run them through our interaction checker below or talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

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.

Move Free Ultra Omega by Schiff Move Free: Common Questions

Does Move Free Ultra Omega by Schiff Move Free interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Move Free Ultra Omega 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?
Move Free Ultra Omega 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.
Will this help my achy joints?
The data we hold don't establish effectiveness for joint pain — astaxanthin, hyaluronic acid, and krill oil all lack reliable evidence for that use. You may see marketing claims, but they outpace the science currently available.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for all three active ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding are incomplete or too limited. The facts advise avoiding astaxanthin and being cautious with krill oil and hyaluronic acid unless your doctor specifically clears them. Talk to your doctor before starting if you're pregnant or nursing.
What's krill oil, and why is there a shellfish warning?
Krill oil comes from tiny crustaceans similar to shrimp, so if you're allergic to shellfish, this ingredient can trigger a reaction. It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids and may also thin your blood slightly, which matters if you're on blood thinners.
What side effects might I notice?
Astaxanthin may cause stomach pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools. Krill oil commonly causes fishy burps, heartburn, bloating, nausea, or decreased appetite — usually mild. Hyaluronic acid is well tolerated when taken orally.
Can I take this with my blood pressure or diabetes medication?
That depends on which medications you're on. Krill oil may raise low blood sugar risk on diabetes drugs and may increase bleeding if you take blood thinners. Astaxanthin may slow how your liver processes many common drugs. Check your exact medications with our tool below or ask your pharmacist before starting.
