HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultimate Krill Oil by InfoWars Life
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
Ultimate Krill Oil contains 4 active ingredients sourced from krill (a small crustacean) and a red algae antioxidant. Krill oil itself breaks down into eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid — both omega-3 fatty acids — plus phospholipids, which help your body absorb the oils.
Astaxanthin is the red pigment that gives krill and certain algae their color and serves as an antioxidant. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we have on astaxanthin isn't established for any of its potential uses — age-related cognitive decline, eye health, skin aging, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome all carry an 'insufficient reliable evidence' rating. That means the research so far isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these purposes.
We hold no effectiveness data for the other ingredients in this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects from oral use are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red fecal color — the red color is just the pigment passing through and isn't harmful.
A small number of study participants experienced increased bowel movements and red stools at standard doses, and two patients taking a much higher dose (40 mg daily, well above typical use) reported severe stomach pain. There isn't enough safety data to know whether astaxanthin is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check your medications if you take drugs broken down by the CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 liver enzymes (Moderate-severity interactions documented). Ask your pharmacist or use the checker below to see if any of your prescriptions fall into these groups — astaxanthin may lower their levels and reduce how well they work.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Krill oil supplements may appeal to you if you're interested in omega-3 fatty acids, but the astaxanthin in this product can theoretically affect how your liver processes certain medications. If you take any prescription drugs — especially blood pressure medications, statins, or immunosuppressants — check with us before you start.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety isn't established, so those are conversations to have with your pharmacist or doctor.

Ultimate Krill Oil by InfoWars Life Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Ultimate Krill Oil by InfoWars Life contains astaxanthin, which has documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is with drugs broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme (a group that includes many common medications like certain statins, blood pressure drugs, and immunosuppressants) — astaxanthin may speed up how your body clears these drugs, potentially making them less effective. This is a Moderate-severity interaction based on laboratory findings, though it hasn't been seen in actual patients yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The product also affects drugs metabolized by the CYP2B6 enzyme (another liver pathway) — again, a Moderate-severity theoretical concern from lab work. We were unable to check three other ingredients — eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and phospholipids — because we hold no data for them.
Altogether, these interactions span 661 individual medications. Before you start, run your exact prescriptions through the medication checker on this page.

For each ingredient in Ultimate Krill Oil with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Krill Oil
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.
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.
