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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (115 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 5 active ingredients. Krill oil is the main ingredient — a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids from Antarctic krill (tiny shrimp-like creatures).

It also contains astaxanthin, a red pigment with antioxidant properties. The product includes eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are the two major omega-3 fatty acids found in marine sources, plus phospholipids that help deliver these nutrients.

The softgel capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, water, ethyl vanillin (for flavor), and sorbitol.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: May reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Heart failure, Atherosclerosis, Myocardial infarction.
  • The closest evidence on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Heart failure (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hyperlipidemia.
  • Also on file: Krill Oil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia.

Evidence for krill oil suggests it may help with dry eye, though we have insufficient reliable data to rate its effectiveness for aging skin, Alzheimer disease, cancer, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), or cognitive function. Astaxanthin's evidence is similarly limited — we hold insufficient data to rate it for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Krill oil is generally well tolerated at doses up to 4 grams daily. The most common side effects are bloating, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fishy burps, flatulence, heartburn, nausea, and stomach discomfort — though these tend to be milder and less frequent than those from fish oil.

Headache, tiredness, and dizziness have been reported rarely. Avoid krill oil if you have a shellfish allergy and use caution if you have a bleeding disorder.

Astaxanthin is also generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited. Common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools.

Higher doses have caused severe stomach pain in a small number of people. We don't have enough safety data to use astaxanthin during pregnancy — the facts advise against it.

We also don't have enough data for breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it while 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?
  • 2 of the 2 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.

Before you start this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (moderate risk of increased bleeding), diabetes medications (moderate risk of low blood sugar), or any drugs metabolized through the liver enzymes CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 (moderate risk of decreased drug levels). These are theoretical concerns based on lab research, not confirmed in humans, but they're worth discussing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in omega-3 support and have had issues tolerating fish oil, since krill oil side effects tend to be gentler. However, if you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, you'll need to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interactions are real concerns.

Also be aware that astaxanthin shouldn't be used in pregnancy, and we don't know enough about safety while breastfeeding. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before adding this to your routine.

In order for Omega-3s to be put to good use, they must first be absorbed by your body. Traditional fish oil floats on top of your stomach, giving that unpleasant fishy aftertaste.

ITS OMEGA-3s ARE CARRIED IN PHOSPHOLIPID FORM, SO IT: ~ Easily mixes in the stomach and doesn’t leave an unpleasant aftertaste. ~ Is easily recognized and utilized by your body’s cell membranes, which are also phospholipid, allowing easy absorption.

Supportive, but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

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.

Omega-3 Krill Oil Extra Strength 500 mg by Schiff MegaRed: Common Questions

Does Omega-3 Krill Oil Extra Strength 500 mg by Schiff MegaRed interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Omega-3 Krill Oil Extra Strength 500 mg 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?
Omega-3 Krill Oil Extra Strength 500 mg contains 5 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 really cause fewer stomach problems than fish oil?
Yes, according to the data we have. While both can cause bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and fishy burps, these side effects seem to be less severe or happen less often with krill oil than with fish oil. That said, if your stomach is sensitive, start low and see how you do.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for krill oil in pregnancy — talk with your doctor before using it. Astaxanthin in this product shouldn't be used during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, we don't have enough data on either ingredient, so check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What is astaxanthin and why is it in here?
Astaxanthin is a red pigment from marine organisms that works as an antioxidant. It's included in this product for potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, though we don't have solid evidence yet for most of the conditions it's been studied for.
Is this safe if I have a shellfish allergy?
No — krill are small shellfish-like creatures, so you should avoid this product if you have a shellfish allergy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about other omega-3 options if that applies to you.
I'm on a blood thinner. Can I take this?
Not without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Krill oil's omega-3 fatty acids may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners, so this needs personalized review before you start.
