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.

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Krill Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (750 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ultimate Krill Oil contains 4 active ingredients: krill oil itself (a marine source of omega-3 fatty acids), eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (the two main omega-3s found in krill), and astaxanthin (a pigment from krill with antioxidant properties). The product also contains gelatin, glycerin, and purified water as inactive ingredients to form the softgel capsule.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Astaxanthin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astaxanthin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for krill oil itself as a product. Astaxanthin, one of its components, has been studied for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome — but the evidence for all of these is insufficient to make a reliable claim.

Whether the omega-3 content of krill oil works for any particular condition isn't something our data covers for this product.

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 is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects from oral astaxanthin are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools — a harmless but noticeable discoloration.

At standard doses (around 6 mg daily), these are rare; at much higher doses (40 mg daily), severe stomach pain has occurred in a small number of people. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid this product and talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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?
  • 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 you take Ultimate Krill Oil, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 (Moderate interaction concern) or CYP2B6 (Moderate interaction concern). Both are common drug-processing pathways in the liver, so this is worth confirming.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Krill oil products appeal to people looking for omega-3 fatty acids from a marine source. If you take medications metabolized by your liver — especially certain heart, blood pressure, or psychiatric drugs — you'll want to check this one against your exact medications before you start.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the astaxanthin in this product is a concern for you.

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.

Ultimate Krill Oil by InfoWars Life: Common Questions

Does Ultimate Krill Oil by InfoWars Life interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ultimate 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?
Ultimate 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.
What does astaxanthin do in this product?
Astaxanthin is a natural pigment from krill — it's an antioxidant. It's been studied for conditions like aging skin and age-related macular degeneration, but the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say whether it actually works.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. The information we have advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in those situations.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated, but some people experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools — the last one is harmless but can be noticeable. Severe stomach pain has occurred at much higher doses.
What are the omega-3s in krill oil, and why do people take them?
Krill oil contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — two omega-3 fatty acids that are popular supplements. We don't have effectiveness data on file for this specific product, so I can't tell you what it's proven to do.
Is this product just krill oil, or does it have other things in it?
The active ingredients are krill oil, its omega-3 components, and astaxanthin. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.
