HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Peak Krill Oil by Peak Pure & Natural

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 (270 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Krill Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Peak Krill Oil is a 4-ingredient supplement centered on krill oil, a marine source of omega-3 fatty acids. The active ingredients are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — the two omega-3s that give krill oil its reputation — plus astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant found in krill.

The product also contains inactive ingredients like gelatin for the capsule, glycerin, and other excipients.

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: Heart health and omega-3 nutrition.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Heart failure, Hypertension, Hypertriglyceridemia, Hyperlipidemia, Stroke — and 2 related terms.
  • 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, Hypertension, Stroke.

The data we hold does not establish effectiveness for astaxanthin in age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome — the evidence is rated insufficient. The facts do not include effectiveness ratings for the EPA, DHA, or other omega-3 components of krill oil itself.

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, the ingredient we have safety data for, is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety information is limited. The most common side effects reported orally are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools.

A small number of trial participants experienced increased bowel movements and red stools at lower doses, and in a couple of cases, severe stomach pain at much higher doses. Astaxanthin is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data.

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 Peak Krill Oil, check any medications you take that are metabolized by the CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 liver enzymes — astaxanthin may theoretically lower their blood levels (Moderate severity for both). These are common pathways, so your pharmacist can quickly tell you if yours are affected.

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.

Peak Krill Oil is a straightforward omega-3 supplement with an added antioxidant, generally well tolerated at standard doses. If you take medications processed through your liver — and most are — check your specific drugs with the tool on this page before starting.

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.

Peak Krill Oil by Peak Pure & Natural: Common Questions

Does Peak Krill Oil by Peak Pure & Natural interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Peak Krill Oil 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?
Peak Krill Oil contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 Peak Krill Oil help with brain aging or memory?
The evidence for astaxanthin in age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease is rated insufficient — we don't have reliable data to say either way. The omega-3s in krill oil (EPA and DHA) aren't rated in our data either.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools are the most frequently reported. They're generally mild, but a small number of people have had increased bowel movements or, at very high doses, severe stomach pain.
Is it safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for astaxanthin in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What is astaxanthin and why is it in krill oil supplements?
Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant pigment found in krill. It's included because it's naturally present in the krill and may have antioxidant properties, though evidence for specific health benefits is still developing.
What happens if this interacts with my blood pressure or cholesterol medication?
Many blood pressure and cholesterol drugs are processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme. Astaxanthin may theoretically lower their levels, but this hasn't been seen in humans yet. Check your exact medications with the tool on this page or ask your pharmacist.
