HelloPharmacist Scorecard of AlivEL 100 200 mg by OptiChoice
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product has 2 active ingredients. The main one is eurycoma longifolia (also called AlivEL 100), a plant extract traditionally used for male sexual function.
The second active is Parent Citrus Bioflavonoid Formula, a compound derived from citrus. The capsule also contains rice powder and a vegetable capsule shell as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for eurycoma longifolia shows it's possibly effective for sexual desire in men. Its use for athletic performance rates as possibly ineffective.
For back pain, osteoporosis, and diabetes, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works. The citrus bioflavonoid ingredient's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Eurycoma longifolia is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but we don't know much about long-term safety or the quality of different products on the market. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information and there's a possibility of hormonal effects.
Some research suggests the ingredient might increase testosterone levels, and if levels go beyond normal, you could see testosterone-related side effects like acne, insulin resistance, or liver stress.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist if you take propranolol (Inderal) for your heart or blood pressure — this product can make it less effective. Also double-check any medications processed through your liver's CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 pathways, and let us know if you're on testosterone therapy.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're a man interested in sexual function and you don't take propranolol or medications processed through those liver pathways, this may be worth a conversation with us. If you take any heart or blood pressure medications, or if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on testosterone therapy, check with your pharmacist first.

AlivEL 100 by OptiChoice contains eurycoma longifolia, which does interact with certain medications.

Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Theoretical interactions also exist with medications that your liver processes through specific enzyme pathways (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2A6 substrates). These are Minor severity concerns based on laboratory evidence, though they haven't been confirmed in people yet.
If you take testosterone or testosterone-based therapies, there's also a Minor-level theoretical concern that eurycoma longifolia could push testosterone levels even higher.

AlivEL 100
Propranolol (Inderal)
Eurycoma longifolia can reduce the levels and clinical effects of propranolol.
A small clinical study in healthy persons shows that taking a single dose of a water-based Eurycoma longifolia extract 200 mg, in combination with a single dose of propranolol 80 mg, reduces the propranolol area under the curve (AUC) by 29%, reduces the peak concentration by 42%, and increases time to peak concentration by 86% when compared with control. Since the elimination half-life of propranolol did not change, it seems that Eurycoma longifolia alters the kinetics of propranolol by decreasing its absorption in the gut, and not by altering its metabolism. It is not known if separating administration will prevent this interaction.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2A6 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2A6 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2C19 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Testosterone
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia may further increase levels of testosterone.
A clinical study in aging males with testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL shows that taking a specific water extract of Eurycoma longifolia roots (Physta; Biotropics Malaysia) 100-200 mg daily with breakfast for 12 weeks increases total testosterone levels by 8% to 11% when compared with placebo. It is unclear whether this increase would occur in individuals with normal testosterone levels.
