Humann Superbeets Heart Chews and Crizotinib

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Minor

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Why this applies to Crizotinib

Crizotinib falls under Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) 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 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

Here's the gist for Crizotinib (Xalkori): your body relies heavily on an enzyme called CYP3A4 to break it down. The grape seed extract in these SuperBeets chews (about 150mg per serving) has shown some ability to slow that enzyme down, but only in lab dish studies, not in real people. If it did slow CYP3A4, crizotinib could clear out a little more slowly and build up slightly, which in theory might nudge up side effects like nausea, vision changes, swelling, fatigue, or liver enzyme shifts.

That said, this is a minor, unlikely concern with weak evidence, and crizotinib is a serious cancer medicine. Please don't stop or change anything on your own. Just give your oncologist or pharmacist a quick heads-up before adding these chews so they can okay it.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Crizotinib page

“Grapefruit tops my worry list for crizotinib (Xalkori), a targeted pill for ALK-positive lung cancer.
