HelloPharmacist Scorecard of AnaBeta Elite by P E Science

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 12, 2026

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 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “AnaBeta Elite Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

AnaBeta Elite contains 4 active ingredients, listed as a proprietary blend plus three individual extracts. The blend includes Lodhra (bark), Anacyclus Pyrethrum (root), and Cistanche deserticola (stem) — traditional plant materials — along with Coleus forskohlii, which contains a compound called forskolin that research suggests may affect blood pressure and how your body processes certain drugs.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients: gelatin, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and two food colorings (FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Red #40).

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We hold no effectiveness data for the three traditional plant ingredients — Lodhra, Anacyclus Pyrethrum, and Cistanche deserticola. For Coleus forskohlii, the evidence we have is insufficient to rate its use for any condition, including angina, asthma, cancer, heart failure, eczema, or dry eye.

That means clinical studies haven't established reliable proof that it works for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pellitory Cistanche Deserticola Coleus

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.

Coleus is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though some people in trials reported dose-related gastrointestinal side effects — chiefly diarrhea, nausea, and constipation — at modest rates. It may lower blood pressure and isn't well studied for long-term use, so use requires care and professional guidance.

The data advise against coleus during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Anacyclus Pyrethrum has limited safety data and may cause mouth irritation or allergic reactions; Cistanche deserticola is generally tolerated in traditional use but human safety data are thin.

The safety information for Lodhra is not on file. Neither Anacyclus Pyrethrum nor Cistanche deserticola should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, per the available data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Pellitory Cistanche Deserticola Coleus

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Coleus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 916 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.

Before taking AnaBeta Elite, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you're on nitrates or calcium channel blockers for your heart — Coleus carries Major-severity interactions with both. Also verify if you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners (including warfarin), or any drugs that depend on liver enzymes CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 for clearance, since Coleus has Moderate-severity interactions with each.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

AnaBeta Elite is built around Coleus forskohlii, an ingredient with major interactions affecting heart and blood pressure medications. If you take nitrates, calcium channel blockers, blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, or any medication metabolized by your liver, you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

The other ingredients lack robust evidence for their effectiveness and carry their own pregnancy and breastfeeding cautions.

Coleus forskohlii7 drug types · 915 drugs

Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, combining coleus with calcium channel blockers might increase the coronary vasodilatory effects.
Forskolin, a constituent of coleus, and calcium channel blockers both cause coronary vasodilatory effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Nitrates

Theoretically, combining coleus with nitrates might increase the coronary vasodilatory effects.
Forskolin, a constituent of coleus, and nitrates both cause coronary vasodilatory effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of coleus and anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro and animal research shows that forskolin, a constituent of coleus, can inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining coleus with antihypertensive drugs might cause additive blood pressure lowering effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that forskolin, a constituent of coleus, may lower blood pressure.

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

Theoretically, taking coleus may affect drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 and increase the risk of adverse effects or reduce the effectiveness.
Research on the effect of coleus on CYP2C9 is conflicting. Some animal research shows that coleus extract can induce CYP2C9, while in vitro research shows that coleus can inhibit CYP2C9. Until more is known, advise patients that taking coleus might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.

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

Theoretically, taking coleus might decrease serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that coleus can activate the nuclear receptor, pregnane X receptor (PXR), which results in increased expression of CYP3A4. Although the clinical significance of this is not known, use caution when considering concomitant use of coleus and other drugs affected by these enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, taking coleus may affect the metabolism of warfarin and increase the risk of adverse effects or reduce the effectiveness.
Some animal research shows that coleus extract can induce cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), an enzyme that metabolizes warfarin. However, other in vitro research shows that coleus can inhibit CYP2C9. Theoretically, taking coleus with drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 might affect drug levels and the risk of adverse effects. Until more is known, advise patients that taking coleus might increase or decrease levels of warfarin.

AnaBeta Elite by P E Science: Common Questions

Does AnaBeta Elite by P E Science interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, AnaBeta Elite has a known interaction with 915 medications, including 29 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
AnaBeta Elite 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.
Can I take AnaBeta Elite if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data advise against Coleus forskohlii during pregnancy and breastfeeding — not enough safety information exists. Anacyclus Pyrethrum and Cistanche deserticola also carry "avoid" ratings for both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in these periods.
What side effects might I experience from AnaBeta Elite?
Coleus can cause gastrointestinal upset — chiefly diarrhea, but also nausea, vomiting, or constipation — at modest rates. Anacyclus Pyrethrum may cause mouth or skin irritation or allergic reactions, though safety data are limited. Most people tolerate Coleus well when taken by mouth.
Does AnaBeta Elite actually work for muscle growth or performance?
We have no effectiveness data on file for the three traditional plant ingredients in this blend. For Coleus forskohlii, the evidence is insufficient to rate it for any condition — clinical studies haven't established reliable proof it works.
Why does the label list it as a proprietary blend?
The blend groups several ingredients together under one name. The individual components — Lodhra, Anacyclus Pyrethrum, and Cistanche deserticola — are listed separately in the full ingredient list, so you can see exactly what you're getting.
Is AnaBeta Elite safe to use long-term?
Coleus forskohlii may lower blood pressure and isn't well studied for long-term use, so the data say to use it with care and professional guidance. If you're considering this product for weeks or months, talk with your pharmacist about what the safety profile means for you.
