Humann Superbeets Heart Chews and Oxycodone Hydrochloride

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

Minor

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Why this applies to Oxycodone Hydrochloride

Oxycodone Hydrochloride 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.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for oxycodone and these chews. The grape seed extract in SuperBeets may, in a test tube, slow down an enzyme called CYP2D6. Oxycodone uses that enzyme partly to turn into oxymorphone, a stronger active byproduct. So in theory, blocking CYP2D6 would actually make a little less of that potent byproduct, not more. The bigger pathway for clearing oxycodone is a different enzyme (CYP3A4), which these chews don't really touch.

Bottom line: this is a weak, lab-only concern with no real-world cases reported, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Still, since opioids can cause drowsiness, slowed breathing, and constipation, it's smart to run any new supplement past your pharmacist or doctor first.

  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Evidence the quality of the studies behind the rating (graded A–D)
  • AHigh-quality meta-analysis (quantitative systematic review).
