Humann Superbeets Heart Chews and Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide

These two interact in 4 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 4 Interactions?

Humann Superbeets Heart Chews interacts with whole categories of medication. Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide falls into 4 of those categories, so it can interact with Humann Superbeets Heart Chews in 4 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Minor).

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

1 of 4

Why this applies to Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide

Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide falls under Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates — the group Humann Superbeets Heart Chews interacts with.

Each serving of HumanN SuperBeets includes 150mg of grape seed extract (2 chews). Laboratory studies suggest that grape seed extract might have inhibitory effects on the CYP2D6 metabolizing enzyme. If this enzyme is inhibited, drugs metabolized by it may undergo slower metabolism, potentially leading to (in many cases) higher-than-normal drug levels. Elevated drug levels can increase the risk of experiencing side effects. However, it's crucial to highlight that, as of now, there is no documented or reported instance of this specific interaction occurring in human studies.

Here is the gist for this Coricidin HBP combo. The dextromethorphan (the cough suppressant) is the piece broken down by an enzyme called CYP2D6. The grape seed extract in SuperBeets Heart Chews might, in theory, slow that enzyme down a bit. If it did, dextromethorphan could hang around longer than usual, which can mean more drowsiness, dizziness, or a bit of stomach upset. The chlorpheniramine and acetaminophen pieces are mostly handled by other pathways.

Honestly, I would not lose sleep over this one. It is based only on lab studies, with no real-world cases reported, and it is rated minor and unlikely. Still, since this product already makes some folks sleepy, check with your pharmacist if you feel extra groggy or use either one regularly.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

2 of 4

Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide also falls under Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates.

Each serving of HumanN SuperBeets includes 150mg of grape seed extract (2 chews). Laboratory studies suggest that grape seed extract might have inhibitory effects on the CYP3A4 metabolizing enzyme. If this enzyme is inhibited, drugs metabolized by it may undergo slower metabolism, potentially leading to (in many cases) higher-than-normal drug levels. Elevated drug levels can increase the risk of experiencing side effects. However, it's important to point out that there is no documented or reported instance of this specific interaction occurring in human studies.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Coricidin HBP Flu is a combo of acetaminophen (a pain and fever reducer), chlorpheniramine (an antihistamine), and dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant). The dextromethorphan part is partly handled by an enzyme called CYP3A4. The grape seed extract in these beet chews might slow that enzyme down a little, based only on lab dish studies. In theory, that could let dextromethorphan build up a bit and slightly nudge up effects like drowsiness or dizziness.

Honestly, this is a minor, unlikely concern with weak evidence, and it has never actually been reported in real people. For most folks it's nothing to lose sleep over. Still, if you already feel extra sleepy on this medicine, or you have heart or blood pressure issues, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for your Coricidin HBP cold and flu chews. The acetaminophen part is partly handled by a liver enzyme called CYP2E1. The grape seed extract in SuperBeets Heart Chews might slow that enzyme down a little, based only on lab-dish studies. In theory, slower breakdown could let acetaminophen linger a bit longer in your body.

Honestly, I wouldn't lose sleep over this one. It's rated minor and unlikely, and there are no real human cases of it happening. The bigger thing to watch is simply not doubling up on acetaminophen from other products, and remembering both the beets and Coricidin can nudge blood pressure. If you have liver or heart concerns, just run it by your pharmacist first.

Here's the gist for your Coricidin HBP Flu product (which combines acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and dextromethorphan). The grape seed extract in these beet chews may, in theory, slow down an enzyme called CYP2E1. Acetaminophen is partly handled by that enzyme, so blocking it could in principle leave a bit more acetaminophen in your system for a while.

Honestly, though, this one is very weak. It comes from lab studies only, with no real cases reported in people, and it's rated minor and unlikely. At normal, label doses you're not likely to notice anything. The bigger thing to watch with acetaminophen is simply not doubling up on it from multiple cold products. If you have liver concerns or take this often, just check with your pharmacist.
