HelloPharmacist Scorecard of B Vitamins & Relora by EXOS Performance Nutrition
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
Partial disclosure
This product contains 8 ingredients, of which the actives are: thiamine (vitamin B1), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B12, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin B6, folate (a B vitamin), magnolia officinalis bark extract, and phellodendron amurense bark extract. The B vitamins support energy, nerve function, and red blood cell formation.
The magnolia and phellodendron extracts are traditionally used plant-based ingredients. The capsule itself is made from hypromellose, a plant-derived material.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The B vitamins in this product have established evidence for certain uses. Thiamine is effective for thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome; it's possibly effective for dysmenorrhea but possibly ineffective for heart failure and as a mosquito repellent.
Niacin is likely effective for pellagra and possibly effective for certain types of dyslipidemia (fat/cholesterol disorders) related to HIV/AIDS and metabolic syndrome. Vitamin B12 is effective for B12 deficiency and Imerslund-Grasbeck disease, and likely effective for cyanide poisoning; it's possibly effective for canker sores and nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia).
Riboflavin's effectiveness ratings aren't provided in the data. Vitamin B6 is effective for sideroblastic anemia and B6 deficiency, and effective for pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy; it's likely effective for high homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia) and possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea.
For magnolia and phellodendron extracts, the evidence is limited—magnolia is possibly effective for gingivitis but insufficient data exist for allergic rhinitis, anxiety, and dental plaque; phellodendron has insufficient evidence for the conditions listed.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
The B vitamins are generally well tolerated at normal doses. Thiamine is very safe orally; rare allergic reactions can occur.
Niacin is safe at food amounts and prescription doses under monitoring, but high supplemental doses can cause flushing (up to 70% of users), stomach upset, and rarely liver toxicity or serious blood and muscle problems. Vitamin B12 is very safe with no established upper limit.
Riboflavin is very safe; excess is lost in urine, though high doses may cause nausea and bright yellow urine. Vitamin B6 is safe at normal amounts but high doses over time can damage nerves (sensory neuropathy).
Magnolia bark extract has limited human safety data; it is unsafe in pregnancy due to potential uterine effects and should be avoided while breastfeeding. Phellodendron (which contains berberine) is also not recommended in pregnancy and is likely unsafe during breastfeeding because berberine can pass to infants.
Short-term use of magnolia in adults otherwise seems tolerated, though side effects in clinical trials included rare reports of sexual dysfunction, shaking hands, numbness, fatigue, and headache—causation is unclear.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against these drug types before taking this product: blood pressure medications (Moderate risk of low blood pressure), blood thinners including anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk of bleeding), diabetes medications and metformin (Moderate risk of low blood sugar), seizure medications like phenobarbital and phenytoin (Moderate risk of reduced drug levels), liver-metabolized drugs affected by CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 (Moderate risk from phellodendron), statins and allopurinol/probenecid (Moderate risk from niacin), CNS depressants like sedatives and anxiety drugs (Moderate risk), amiodarone (Moderate risk), and metformin (Minor risk from B12). If you take trimethoprim (an antibiotic) or levodopa for Parkinson's disease, note the Minor interactions documented.
Separate bile acid sequestrants from niacin by 4–6 hours.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is geared toward people looking for B vitamin support and plant-based stress or immune ingredients. If you take blood pressure medication, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, seizure medications, or metformin, you need to check your exact medications against the interaction list below—several ingredients may affect how they work.
Avoid this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, particularly because of the magnolia and phellodendron. Talk to your pharmacist before starting.

B Vitamins & Relora by EXOS Performance Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
B Vitamins & Relora by EXOS Performance Nutrition contains several ingredients with documented interactions with medications.
The most serious is niacin, which has Moderate interactions with multiple drug types including blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), where it may cause low blood pressure (hypotension) through its blood vessel-dilating effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Niacin also interacts moderately with blood thinners (anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs)—there are rare reports of clotting problems and low platelet counts—and with diabetes medications, since niacin can raise blood sugar and reduce drug effectiveness. It may increase liver toxicity risk with hepatotoxic drugs, interact with cholesterol-lowering statins, and reduce the effectiveness of gout medications (allopurinol and probenecid).
Bile acid sequestrants can bind niacin; separate dosing by 4–6 hours. Vitamin B6 has Moderate interactions with blood pressure drugs and seizure medications (phenobarbital, phenytoin), where high doses may lower drug levels and reduce effectiveness.
It also interacts moderately with amiodarone (a heart rhythm drug), where it may worsen sun sensitivity. Phellodendron (a plant extract in this product) interacts moderately with blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, diabetes medications, and metformin, and may affect how your body processes drugs metabolized by three major liver pathways (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP3A4).
Magnolia bark extract interacts moderately with blood thinners and CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety drugs). Vitamin B12 has a Minor interaction with metformin; it can lower B12 levels with long-term use.
Thiamine has a Minor interaction with trimethoprim (an antibiotic).
Altogether, these interactions span 1,333 individual medications. We could not check folate for interactions.

Phellodendron amurense (bark) extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Phellodendron contains berberine. In vitro and in vivo research suggest that berberine can inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, phellodendron might also inhibit platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, phellodendron may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Clinical research shows that berberine may lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, phellodendron might also lower blood glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, phellodendron might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Animal research suggests that berberine can have hypotensive effects. Also, a clinical study suggests that taking berberine in combination with amlodipine can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure when compared with amlodipine alone. Theoretically, phellodendron might also reduce blood pressure.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Animal research suggests that berberine may have sedative effects. Theoretically, phellodendron might also have CNS depressants effects.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase blood levels of cyclosporine.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can reduce metabolism of cyclosporine and increase serum levels, likely through inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes cyclosporine. Theoretically, phellodendron might also reduce the metabolism of cyclosporine.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit CYP2C9. Theoretically, phellodendron might also inhibit CYP2C9.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Phellodendron contains berberine. In vitro research and preliminary clinical evidence show that berberine can inhibit CYP2D6. Theoretically, phellodendron might also inhibit CYP2D6.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Phellodendron contains berberine. In vitro research and preliminary clinical research show that berberine moderately inhibits CYP3A4. Theoretically, phellodendron might also inhibit CYP3A4.
Dextromethorphan (Robitussin Dm, Others)
Theoretically, phellodendron may increase serum levels of dextromethorphan.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) activity and reduce the metabolism of dextromethorphan. Theoretically, phellodendron may also inhibit the metabolism of dextromethorphan.
Losartan (Cozaar)
Theoretically, phellodendron might reduce the therapeutic effects of losartan by decreasing its conversion to its active form.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Preliminary clinical research suggests that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) activity and reduce metabolism of losartan. Theoretically, phellodendron might also inhibit the metabolism of losartan.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Phellodendron contains berberine. In vitro and animal studies show that berberine can increase the systemic exposure and half-life of metformin, potentially increasing metformin's effects and side effects. This interaction seems to be most apparent when berberine is administered 2 hours prior to metformin. Taking berberine and metformin at the same time does not appear to increase systemic exposure to metformin. It is unclear if phellodendron might have this same effect.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, phellodendron might reduce metabolism of midazolam, which might increase the risk of severe adverse effects.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity and reduce metabolism of midazolam. Theoretically, phellodendron might also inhibit the metabolism of midazolam.
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase the sedative effect of pentobarbital.
Phellodendron contains berberine. Animal research shows that berberine can prolong pentobarbital-induced sleeping time. Theoretically, phellodendron might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Tacrolimus (Prograf)
Theoretically, phellodendron might increase blood levels of tacrolimus.
Phellodendron contains berberine. In a 16-year-old patient with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome who was being treated with tacrolimus 6.5 mg twice daily, intake of berberine 200 mg three times daily increased the blood concentration of tacrolimus from 8 to 22 ng/mL. Following a reduction of the tacrolimus dose to 3 mg daily, blood levels of tacrolimus decreased to 12 ng/mL. It is unclear if phellodendron might have this same effect.
Niacin
Alcohol (Ethanol)
Concomitant use of alcohol and niacin might increase the risk of flushing and hepatotoxicity.
Alcohol can exacerbate the flushing and pruritus associated with niacin. Large doses of niacin might also exacerbate liver dysfunction associated with chronic alcohol use. A case report describes delirium and lactic acidosis in a patient taking niacin 3 grams daily who ingested 1 liter of wine. Advise patients to avoid large amounts of alcohol while taking niacin.
Allopurinol (Zyloprim)
Theoretically, niacin might antagonize the therapeutic effects of uricosurics such as allopurinol.
Large doses of niacin can reduce urinary excretion of uric acid, potentially resulting in hyperuricemia. Doses of uricosurics such as allopurinol might need to be increased to maintain control of gout in patients who start taking niacin. People who have frequent attacks of gout despite uricosuric therapy should avoid niacin.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, niacin may have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Several cases of clotting factor synthesis deficiency and coagulopathy have been reported in patients taking sustained-release niacin. Also, thrombocytopenia has been reported in patients treated with niacin or niacin plus lovastatin.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Niacin can increase blood glucose levels and may diminish the effects of antidiabetes drugs.
Niacin impairs glucose tolerance in a dose-dependent manner, probably by causing or aggravating insulin resistance and increasing hepatic production of glucose. In diabetes patients, niacin 4.5 grams daily for 5 weeks can increase plasma glucose by an average of 16% and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) by 21%. However, lower doses of 1.5 grams daily or less appear to have minimal effects on blood glucose. In some patients, glucose levels increase when niacin is started, but then return to baseline when a stable dose is reached. Up to 35% of patients with diabetes may need adjustments in hypoglycemic therapy when niacin is added.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, niacin may increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
The vasodilating effects of niacin can cause hypotension. Furthermore, some clinical evidence suggests that a one-hour infusion of niacin can reduce systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This effect is not observed in normotensive patients.
Bile Acid Sequestrants
Bile acid sequestrants can bind niacin and decrease absorption. Separate administration by 4-6 hours to avoid an interaction.
In vitro studies show that colestipol (Colestid) binds about 98% of available niacin and cholestyramine (Questran) binds 10% to 30%.
Gemfibrozil (Lopid)
Theoretically, concomitant use of niacin and gemfibrozil might increase the risk of myopathy in some patients.
A case of myopathy from concomitant use of niacin and gemfibrozil has been reported. Niacin alone has also been associated with cases of myopathy. Using gemfibrozil with niacin might further increase the risk of developing myopathy.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of niacin and hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Niacin has been associated with cases of liver toxicity, especially when used in pharmacologic doses. Sustained-release niacin preparations appear to be associated with a higher risk of hepatotoxicity than immediate-release niacin.
Hmg-Coa Reductase Inhibitors ("Statins")
Theoretically, concomitant use of niacin and statins might increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis in some patients.
Some case reports have raised concerns that niacin might increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis when combined with statins. However, a significantly increased risk of myopathy has not been demonstrated in clinical trials, including those using an FDA-approved combination of lovastatin and niacin (Advicor).
Probenecid (Benemid)
Theoretically, niacin might antagonize the therapeutic effects of uricosurics such as probenecid.
Large doses of niacin reduce urinary excretion of uric acid, potentially causing hyperuricemia. Doses of uricosurics such as probenecid might need to be increased to maintain control of gout in patients who start taking niacin. People who have frequent attacks of gout despite uricosuric therapy should avoid niacin.
Sulfinpyrazone (Anturane)
Theoretically, niacin might antagonize the therapeutic effects of uricosurics such as sulfinpyrazone.
Large doses of niacin reduce urinary excretion of uric acid, potentially causing hyperuricemia. Doses of uricosurics such as sulfinpyrazone might need to be increased to maintain control of gout in patients who start taking niacin. People who have frequent attacks of gout despite uricosuric therapy should avoid niacin.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, niacin might antagonize the therapeutic effects of thyroid hormones.
Clinical research and case reports suggests that taking niacin can reduce serum levels of thyroxine-binding globulin by up to 25% and moderately reduce levels of thyroxine (T4). Patients taking thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism might need dose adjustments when using niacin.
Transdermal Nicotine (Nicoderm)
Theoretically, concomitant use of niacin and transdermal nicotine might increase the risk of flushing and dizziness.
Niacin and nicotine can both cause flushing and dizziness.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There is limited evidence that niacin may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 3.9 after taking niacin for two weeks. The patient's INR was previously stable, ranging between 2 and 3 in recent months, and no other medication changes were identified. The elevated INR returned to therapeutic range within 4 days following the discontinuation of niacin.
Aspirin
Large doses of aspirin might alter the clearance of niacin.
Aspirin is often used with niacin to reduce niacin-induced flushing. Doses of 80-975 mg aspirin have been used, but 325 mg appears to be optimal. Aspirin also seems to reduce the clearance of niacin by competing for glycine conjugation. Taking aspirin 1 gram seems to reduce niacin clearance by 45%. This is probably a dose-related effect and not clinically significant with the more common aspirin dose of 325 mg.
Magnolia officinalis (bark) extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, magnolia might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that the chemicals magnolol and honokiol, isolated from magnolia bark, inhibit platelet aggregation that is experimentally induced by collagen and arachidonic acid. However, they do not inhibit platelet aggregation that is induced by adenosine diphosphate, platelet-activating factor, or thrombin. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of large doses of magnolia bark and CNS depressants might have additive effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that constituents extracted from magnolia bark, especially honokiol and magnolol, have sedative effects. These effects may be due to the inhibition of catecholamine release and modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors.
Vitamin B6
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Phenobarbital (Luminal)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Levodopa
Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.
Vitamin B12
Metformin (Glucophage)
Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.
Riboflavin
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Theoretically, taking riboflavin with tetracycline antibiotics may decrease the potency of these antibiotics.
In vitro research suggests that riboflavin may inhibit the potency of tetracycline antibiotics. It is not clear if this effect is clinically significant, as this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Thiamine
Trimethoprim (Proloprim)
Trimethoprim might increase blood levels of thiamine.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that trimethoprim inhibits intestinal thiamine transporter ThTR-2, hepatic transporter OCT1, and renal transporters OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2, resulting in paradoxically increased thiamine plasma concentrations.
