Drug & supplement interaction

Lunasin + Selinexor

Selinexor brand name: Xpovio.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lunasin and Selinexor in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Lunasin and Selinexor

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Selinexor and Lunasin in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Lunasin at all — not against Selinexor, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Lunasin safety at a glance

Lunasin overall Not established Lunasin is found in common foods, but the safety of concentrated supplements has not been well studied.
Pregnancy Avoid There is not enough safety data, so concentrated supplements should be avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid There is not enough safety data, so concentrated supplements should be avoided while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Lunasin and Selinexor May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

    Selinexor

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Selinexor, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Lunasin but not commonly for Selinexor: stomach pain and bloating or gas.

Effects for Selinexor come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Lunasin come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 8,359 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Selinexor that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Selinexor page

“Selinexor (Xpovio) treats multiple myeloma and certain lymphomas, and its side effects are rough enough at intended doses that any shift in its blood level deserves genuine caution. Almost all of the 138 supplements and herbs listed here, 121 of them, can change how a liver enzyme called CYP3A4 handles the drug, pushing its level up or…”

About Lunasin

What is Lunasin?

  • Cholesterol and heart health
  • General immune support
  • Antioxidant support
  • Anti-inflammatory support
  • Cancer-prevention interest (unproven)

Lunasin is a small protein (peptide) found naturally in soybeans and some other seeds and grains. Laboratory and animal studies suggest it may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cholesterol-related effects, but solid human evidence is very limited. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using a lunasin supplement.

Seeds (most studied in soybean) · Capsules, powders, and protein extracts (often soy-derived)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Lunasin is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Lunasin record says about it on its own.

Lunasin: dosing

There is no established standard dose for lunasin supplements. The amounts used in research vary, and product labels differ from brand to brand.If you choose to try a product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. Because quality and purity of supplements can vary, look for brands that use independent third-party testing.

About Selinexor

What Is Selinexor Used For?

Brand name: Xpovio

Xpovio (selinexor) is used to treat multiple myeloma in adults. When used together with bortezomib and dexamethasone, it is for adults who have had at least one prior treatment. This combination is sometimes called XVd.

Xpovio is also used with dexamethasone alone (called Xd) for adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma — meaning the cancer came back or stopped responding — who have already tried at least four prior therapies and whose disease no longer responds to several other standard drug types.

Taking Lunasin and Selinexor Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Lunasin with Selinexor?
We do not list a known interaction between Lunasin and Selinexor. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Lunasin and Selinexor have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 4 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.

Does Selinexor interact with any supplements?
Yes. Selinexor has documented interactions with 138 supplements in our database — Lunasin is not one of them. The Selinexor interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
