Humann Superbeets Heart Chews and Risperidone

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Humann Superbeets Heart Chews interacts with whole categories of medication. Risperidone falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Humann Superbeets Heart Chews in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Minor).

Minor

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

1 of 2

Why this applies to Risperidone

Risperidone 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.

Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version. Your body uses an enzyme called CYP2D6 to help clear risperidone from your system. The grape seed extract in SuperBeets Heart Chews (about 150mg per two chews) has shown, in lab studies only, a mild ability to slow that enzyme down. In theory, if it slowed CYP2D6, a bit more risperidone could hang around, which might nudge up side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, low blood pressure when you stand, or restlessness.

That said, I don't want to overstate this. The evidence is weak, it comes from test-tube work, and there are no real human reports of it happening. For most people this won't be a problem. Still, since beets can also lower blood pressure, it's worth a quick word with your pharmacist or doctor before adding these chews.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

2 of 2

Risperidone 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.
Severity Minor Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans..

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

Here's the gist for risperidone: the grape seed extract in these chews (about 150mg per two chews) has shown in lab studies only that it might gently slow down CYP3A4, one of the liver enzymes that helps clear risperidone from your body. In theory, if that enzyme works a little slower, risperidone could build up slightly and nudge up its usual side effects, like drowsiness, dizziness, low blood pressure when you stand, or feeling restless.

That said, this is a minor, unlikely concern, and it has never actually been reported in real people. Risperidone is not a prodrug, so it doesn't get flipped around here. Beetroot in food amounts isn't the issue. Still, since you're on a medication that matters, just give your pharmacist or doctor a quick heads-up before adding these chews.
