Grapefruit And Medication
Grapefruit Extract is one of the ingredients in Olivaro's proprietary blend. It's also one of the most well-documented interacting foods in pharmacology. Here's what to know.
Why Grapefruit Interacts With Medication
Compounds in grapefruit can affect an enzyme in your gut and liver that helps metabolize many prescription drugs, which can change how much of a medication ends up active in your bloodstream.
Which Medications Are Most Commonly Affected
Certain statins, some blood pressure medications, and a range of other prescriptions are commonly flagged for grapefruit interactions in pharmacology references. This is general information, not a complete list, and not a substitute for checking your own prescriptions.
What This Means For Olivaro
Because Grapefruit Extract is part of an undisclosed-dose blend, we can't tell you how much is actually in a serving. If you take any prescription medication, share the full Olivaro label with your pharmacist or doctor before starting, rather than assuming it's fine.
The Bottom Line
This single ingredient is a good example of why checking the full label with a professional matters, even for a "natural" supplement. See the full ingredient breakdown.
