HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Apoptosis Max by TumoRx

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 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (350 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Apoptosis Max contains 2 active ingredients. One is slippery elm, an herb made from the inner bark of an elm tree.

The other is Kelway's Coral Plume, an ingredient we don't have detailed information about. The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, an inert coating material.

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

This is a single-ingredient Slippery Elm product and its label doesn't state a use — see Slippery Elm's own graded uses on its monograph.

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

The evidence on slippery elm for cancer, constipation, cough, inflammatory bowel disease, and diarrhea is insufficient — we simply don't have reliable data to say whether it works for any of these uses. No effectiveness data is on file for Kelway's Coral Plume.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm

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.

Slippery elm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but good safety data are limited. Some allergic reactions have been reported — contact dermatitis, hives, and reactions to slippery elm pollen are possible.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety data; caution is advised. There's also too little information on safety while breastfeeding, so caution is warranted.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm

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 — Slippery Elm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 2,023 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 your oral medications (those you swallow as tablets, capsules, liquids, or powders by mouth) before starting this product. Slippery elm may slow their absorption and lower the levels they reach in your blood, potentially making them less effective.

Ask your pharmacist whether you should time doses several hours apart.

The bottom line

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Apoptosis Max 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.
Will slippery elm in this product interfere with my medications?
Yes, possibly. Slippery elm's mucilage can slow how your body absorbs oral drugs and may lower the levels they reach in your bloodstream — that's a moderate interaction. The more medications you take by mouth, the more important it is to check with your pharmacist before starting.
Does this product actually work for cancer?

Is slippery elm safe to use?
It's generally well tolerated for short-term use, but high-quality safety data are limited. Allergic reactions like contact dermatitis and hives have been reported. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough data to know it's safe, so talk to your doctor first.
What's Kelway's Coral Plume?
We don't have detailed information about this ingredient on file — no interaction data or effectiveness data are available to us. If you have questions about what it is or what it does, ask the manufacturer or your pharmacist.
Are there any fillers in this product?
The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, which is an inert coating. That's the only other ingredient listed besides the two active ones.
