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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

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
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: boost energy, stamina, and sexual performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male Infertility, Muscle strength, Sexual desire, Testosterone deficiency — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual desire (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Muscle strength, Age-related testosterone deficiency, Male Infertility.

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eurycoma Longifolia

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

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
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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Eurycoma Longifolia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 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.

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

AlivEL 100 200 mg by OptiChoice: Common Questions

Does AlivEL 100 200 mg by OptiChoice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, AlivEL 100 200 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
AlivEL 100 200 mg contains 2 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.
Does eurycoma longifolia actually boost testosterone?
A clinical study in older men with low testosterone shows it increased levels by 8% over 12 weeks. That said, the concern is if your testosterone goes beyond the normal range — then you risk acne, insulin resistance, and liver issues.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against both because there isn't enough information and the ingredient may affect hormones. Talk to your doctor before using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
What's the citrus bioflavonoid in here for?
The product facts don't tell us what role it plays in this formula. If you'd like to know more about it, ask us at the counter.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term safety looks okay in studies, but we don't have good data on long-term use. It's worth checking in with your pharmacist about how long you're planning to take it.
Does it really work for back pain?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether eurycoma longifolia helps back pain. If that's your reason for considering it, we'd recommend talking through other options with your pharmacist.
