HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Move Free Ultra Omega Joint Plus by Schiff

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 (363 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Move Free Ultra Omega Joint Plus contains three active ingredients. Krill oil is a marine source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid antioxidant found in sea creatures. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in connective tissue.

The softgel also contains inactive ingredients like gelatin, olive oil, glycerin, and several colorants and preservatives.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Joint health and comfort with omega-3 support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Dry eye, joint pain — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Hyaluronic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dry eye (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Krill Oil is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dry eye.
  • Also on file: Hyaluronic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis.

Krill oil is possibly effective for dry eye, but the evidence for its use in aging skin, Alzheimer disease, cancer, high cholesterol, and cognitive function is insufficient. Astaxanthin's effectiveness for age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome is not established in the data we hold.

Hyaluronic acid is possibly effective for dry eye and venous leg ulcers (wounds in the legs due to vein problems), but evidence for aging skin, hay fever, and sexual dysfunction is insufficient.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Krill Oil Astaxanthin Hyaluronic Acid

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.

Krill oil and astaxanthin are both generally well tolerated at typical doses. The most common side effects from krill oil are gastrointestinal — bloating, stomach discomfort, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, and fishy burps — though these tend to be milder than those from fish oil.

Astaxanthin may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools; higher doses have caused severe stomach pain in rare cases. Hyaluronic acid is well tolerated when taken by mouth, though long-term safety data are limited.

Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding: krill oil has not enough safety data — talk with your doctor before using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Astaxanthin safety data are insufficient; the facts advise against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor says otherwise.

Hyaluronic acid also lacks enough safety information for oral use in pregnancy and breastfeeding — check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk of increased bleeding), diabetes medications (Moderate risk of low blood sugar), or medications metabolized by liver enzymes CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 (Moderate risk of decreased drug levels). No interactions are documented in our data for hyaluronic acid, but we hold no information on some ingredients in the proprietary blend.

A powerful antioxidant that is naturally derived from freshwater microalgae Astaxanthin has anti-inflammatory properties and helps protect body tissues from harmful free radicals.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Move Free Ultra Omega Joint Plus 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.
