HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Apple Polyphens 600 mg by SuperSmart

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
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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Apple Polyphens 600 mg is a single-ingredient supplement: apple extract at 600 mg per dose. The product also contains acacia gum as an inactive ingredient (a binder and thickener).

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 Apple product and its label doesn't state a use — see Apple'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 for apple extract isn't established for any of the uses listed — Alzheimer's disease, cancer prevention, dental plaque, diabetes, and diarrhea all carry insufficient data in our records. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research we hold on file is too limited or mixed to draw a conclusion.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Apple

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.

Apples eaten as whole fruit are well tolerated by most people, and the main side effects are mild: bloating and gas in some folks. Rare but serious reactions include allergic responses (including anaphylaxis) if you're sensitive to other fruits in the rose family — apricot, almond, plum, peach, pear, and strawberry.

Apple seeds contain cyanide and can cause poisoning if consumed in large quantities, though a single tablet or pill is not a risk. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, whole apples are considered safe, but concentrated extracts like this one haven't been well studied in these situations.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Apple.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 300 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 before taking this product if you use OATP substrates (a major interaction that can cut drug absorption sharply), blood pressure or heart medications, allergy drugs like fexofenadine, diabetes medications, or lithium. Apple extract can significantly reduce blood levels of these drugs, which may affect how well they control your condition.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Apple extract may appeal to you if you're interested in polyphenol antioxidants, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't solid yet. If you take any regular medications — especially heart, blood pressure, allergy, diabetes, or mood-stabilizer drugs — you need to check your exact prescriptions against this supplement's interactions first, since apple extract can reduce how well many drugs work.

Have that conversation with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Apple extract7 drug types · 300 drugs

Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of OATP substrates.
Research shows that consuming apple juice inhibits OATP, which reduces bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP. Fexofenadine, atenolol, and aliskiren are substrates of OATP. Clinical research shows that coadministration of apple juice decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by up to 78%, aliskiren by 63%, and atenolol by up to 82%. These effects appear to increase with larger quantities of apple juice. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Aliskiren (Tekturna, Rasilez)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of aliskiren.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that coadministration of apple juice 200 mL along with aliskiren 150 mg decreases the bioavailability of aliskiren by 63%. Apple juice seems to inhibit organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), which is involved in drug uptake in the gut, liver, and kidney. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, consuming apple juice with antidiabetes drugs might interfere with blood glucose control.
Clinical research suggests that consuming apples or drinking apple juice can raise blood glucose levels, with the effects of drinking apple juice being more significant than consuming apples.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Consuming apple juice with antihypertensive drugs might interfere with blood pressure control.
Some clinical evidence suggests that consuming apple and cherry juice can increase blood pressure in elderly patients.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atenolol (Tenormin)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of atenolol.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that coadministration of apple juice 600-1200 mL decreases levels of atenolol by 58% to 82% in a dose-dependent manner. Apple juice seems to inhibit organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), which is involved in drug uptake in the gut, liver, and kidney. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of fexofenadine.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that coadministration of apple juice 400-1200 mL along with fexofenadine 60-120 mg decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by up to 78%. Coadministration with smaller quantities of apple juice (150 mL or less) does not appear to affect the bioavailability of fexofenadine. Apple juice seems to inhibit organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), which is involved in drug uptake in the gut, liver, and kidney. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Lithium

There is some concern that concomitant consumption of apple juice might decrease oral absorption and blood levels of lithium.
In one case report, a patient had an undetectable serum lithium level when lithium citrate was administered with apple juice. When lithium was administered with an alternative beverage, the lithium level became detectable and the patient demonstrated clinical improvement.

Apple Polyphens 600 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Apple Polyphens 600 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Apple Polyphens 600 mg has a known interaction with 300 medications, including 47 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Apple Polyphens 600 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 exactly is apple extract, and why is it in this supplement?
Apple extract is a concentrated form of apple, capturing compounds called polyphenols that apples naturally contain. This supplement delivers 600 mg per dose — much more than you'd get from eating a whole apple.
Can I take this if I have a fruit allergy?
If you're allergic to apricot, almond, plum, peach, pear, or strawberry, there's a real risk you could also react to apples or apple extract. Talk with your pharmacist or allergist first, because severe allergic reactions are rare but serious.
Will this supplement help with my diabetes or Alzheimer's disease?
The research we hold on file doesn't establish whether apple extract works for either condition. The evidence is too limited to say either way, so talk with your doctor about whether this is a reasonable addition to your care plan.
What are the most common side effects?
Bloating and gas are the main ones people report. Serious side effects like allergic reactions are rare.
Is it safe to take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Whole apples are considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but concentrated extracts like this one haven't been studied enough to know for sure. Your doctor or pharmacist can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
