HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Krill Oil Complex 500 mg by NutriSuppz

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

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Super Krill Oil Complex contains five active ingredients. Three are omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both from krill oil, plus krill oil itself — a marine source of these heart-healthy fats.

The product also includes astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant that gives krill its reddish color, and phospholipids, which help your body absorb and use these oils. The capsules themselves are made from gelatin, glycerin, and water.

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 supplementation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Heart failure, Hypertension, 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.
  • Also on file: Krill Oil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension.

The evidence for krill oil in this product is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for dry eye — that's the one condition with some research support.

For aging skin, Alzheimer disease, cancer, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and cognitive function, the evidence isn't established in our data. Astaxanthin shows insufficient evidence for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome — meaning research is too thin or mixed to rate it yet.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, ask your pharmacist whether the evidence matches what you're hoping it'll do.

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, though some people report bloating, nausea, diarrhea, fishy burps, flatulence, heartburn, decreased appetite, or stomach discomfort — side effects that tend to be milder than those from fish oil. Rarely, headache, tiredness, and dizziness have been reported.

Astaxanthin is also generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited; at typical doses it may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools, and a higher dose caused severe stomach pain in a couple of people. Avoid this product if you have a shellfish allergy, and use caution if you have a bleeding disorder.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data for krill oil, so talk to your doctor first. The same goes for breastfeeding — avoid astaxanthin while nursing because safety data are lacking, and check with your doctor about 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 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 taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — krill oil may increase bleeding risk. Also verify any diabetes medications you take, since krill oil might theoretically lower blood sugar.

If you're on medications broken down by your liver through the CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 pathways (astaxanthin may affect these), get those checked too.

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 is worth considering if you're specifically interested in krill oil for dry eye support and want the omega-3s from a marine source. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or drugs processed through certain liver pathways (CYP3A4 or CYP2B6), check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.

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.

Super Krill Oil Complex 500 mg by NutriSuppz: Common Questions

Does Super Krill Oil Complex 500 mg by NutriSuppz interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Krill Oil Complex 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?
Super Krill Oil Complex 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.
Will this give me fish burps like regular fish oil?
Krill oil can cause fishy burps in some people, along with other digestive side effects like bloating, nausea, or diarrhea. However, research suggests these effects are generally milder with krill oil than with fish oil, so you may tolerate it better.
Is it safe if I have a shellfish allergy?
No — krill are small crustaceans, so if you have a shellfish allergy, you should avoid this product. Check with your doctor before using it.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for either krill oil or astaxanthin during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor before using this supplement in either situation — it's a personal decision best made with your healthcare provider.
Does krill oil actually work for dry eyes?
Krill oil is rated possibly effective for dry eye, meaning some research supports it — but the evidence isn't airtight. If you're considering it for that reason, it's worth a try, but talk to your eye doctor too.
What's astaxanthin in here for?
Astaxanthin is an antioxidant from krill that gives the oil its red color. The evidence for what it does isn't well established yet — it's listed as having insufficient evidence for aging skin, cognitive decline, and other uses. It's mainly here as part of the krill's natural composition.
How much krill oil am I actually getting per capsule?
The product is labeled as 500 mg total, but the facts don't specify how much of that weight is pure krill oil versus the other active and inactive ingredients in the softgel. Check the label or contact the manufacturer for that breakdown.
