HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Activin Plus by Douglas Laboratories

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Phytonutrient Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Activin Plus contains 4 active ingredients. The main one is Activin (derived from grape), which supplies polyphenols and proanthocyanidins — compounds with antioxidant properties.

The formula also includes a Phytonutrient Proprietary Blend (its exact components aren't broken down on this label), Soy Isoflavones, and Broccoli extract. These are packaged in a gelatin capsule with cellulose and vegetable stearate as inactive fillers.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Grape) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Colorectal cancer — rated "Possibly Effective" (Broccoli) (Natural Medicines).

Evidence for Activin Plus rests primarily on grape's use in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — the feeling of heaviness, swelling, or aching in the legs — where it's rated possibly effective. For other conditions like chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and obesity, grape shows only possibly ineffective or lacking evidence.

Broccoli is possibly effective for colorectal cancer prevention but has insufficient evidence for bladder, breast, gastric cancers, and other conditions on file. Cauliflower similarly lacks reliable evidence for the cancers and other conditions listed.

We don't have effectiveness data in our records for Soy Isoflavones in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Grape Broccoli Cauliflower

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Grape and broccoli as food are generally well tolerated, and grape seed extract appears well tolerated in studies. The most common side effects from oral use of grape are abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, upset stomach, headache, joint pain, and nausea.

Rare but serious, anaphylaxis to grape skin has been reported. Broccoli and cauliflower extracts at high doses can cause loose stools, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping.

For pregnancy, the facts advise against concentrated grape supplements due to limited safety data; however, grapes as food are fine. Broccoli and cauliflower as food are considered safe in pregnancy, though concentrated supplements aren't well studied.

There isn't enough data on concentrated grape supplements during breastfeeding — discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Grape, Broccoli, Cauliflower.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 911 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check these medication types before taking Activin Plus: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (increased bleeding risk), medications broken down by CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2A6, or CYP2E1 enzymes (levels may shift), and if you take cyclosporine or midazolam specifically (both can be significantly affected). The most important: if you're on any prescription medication, run it through the checker on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Activin Plus is mainly used for chronic venous insufficiency symptoms, though the evidence is modest. If you take medications for blood clotting, heart rhythm, anxiety, seizures, or any prescription drug, you need to check this product against your medications first — the liver enzyme interactions are real and can affect how well your drugs work.

Activin9 drug types · 910 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape extracts might decrease platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water. Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, grape seed extract might increase the levels of CYP2E1 substrates.
In vitro and animal research suggests that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Midazolam (Versed)

Theoretically, long-term intake of grape seed extract might decrease the effects of midazolam.
Animal research shows that subchronic ingestions of grape seed extract can increase the elimination of intravenous midazolam by increasing hepatic CYP3A4 activity. Single doses of grape seed extract do not appear to affect midazolam elimination.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenacetin

Grape juice might decrease phenacetin absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2).

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism. The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.

Broccoli2 drug types · 187 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily for 6-12 days can increase CYP1A2 activity by 10% to 200%. Induction of CYP1A2 activity by broccoli is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2A6.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of broccoli daily for 6 days increases CYP2A6 activity by 135% to 550%. Induction of CYP2A6 activity is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Broccoli full monograph & interactions

Cauliflower1 drug type · 186 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that eating cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, daikon radish sprouts, and cabbage, can increase cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) activity by 14% to 27%. Theoretically, cauliflower might increase the clearance and decrease the effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2. Some drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), theophylline, zileuton (Zyflo), zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others.

Activin Plus by Douglas Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Activin Plus by Douglas Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Activin Plus has a known interaction with 910 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Activin Plus contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is Activin, and what's it supposed to do?
Activin is a grape-derived ingredient rich in antioxidant compounds called polyphenols and proanthocyanidins. The evidence suggests it may help with chronic venous insufficiency — that heavy, achy feeling in your legs — though the proof is modest.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Grapes as food are fine, but this product contains concentrated grape supplement, which the safety data advises against in pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough information on concentrated grape supplements — talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate it well, but some report abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, upset stomach, headache, joint pain, or nausea. The broccoli and cauliflower extracts at higher doses can cause loose stools or cramping. Anaphylaxis to grape is rare but has been reported.
Does this product have fillers?
Yes — it contains cellulose, gelatin, and vegetable stearate as inactive ingredients to hold the capsule together and fill it out.
I'm on a blood thinner. Is this product safe for me?
That's a conversation to have with your pharmacist or doctor before you start. Grape extracts may have mild blood-thinning effects, so combining them with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs raises the risk of bleeding. The checker on this page can help clarify your specific situation.
Why does this product contain so many different vegetables?
Broccoli and cauliflower are included as sources of compounds (glucosinolates) believed to have health benefits, though the evidence for them in this product isn't strong for most conditions. Soy isoflavones add another phytonutrient source, though we don't have effectiveness data on file for it.
