HelloPharmacist Scorecard of C.A.C. Factor - S by Nutri-West
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
C.A.C. Factor - S contains six active ingredients: pantothenic acid (a B vitamin), niacinamide (another B vitamin), vitamin B1, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), manganese (a mineral), and alpha-lipoic acid (also called thioctic acid).
The product has no inactive fillers listed. Together, these support cellular energy and antioxidant function.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Pantothenic acid is effective for pantothenic acid deficiency but has insufficient evidence for hay fever and other conditions listed. Niacinamide is likely effective for pellagra and possibly effective for acne, high blood sugar, joint health, and cholesterol — though evidence for most of these is limited.
Vitamin B2 effectiveness ratings are not established in our data. Manganese is effective for manganese deficiency and possibly effective for joint health, though evidence for hay fever, bone health, and lung conditions is insufficient.
Alpha-lipoic acid is possibly effective for nerve damage from diabetes, cholesterol, weight, and fat levels in the blood. Overall, evidence is strongest for the B vitamins and manganese in correcting actual deficiencies; evidence for other uses is mixed or incomplete.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pantothenic acid and niacinamide are generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses. However, high-dose niacinamide can cause nausea, vomiting, heartburn, gas, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, itching, headache, and rash.
Riboflavin is very safe; excess leaves your body in urine, though high doses can cause nausea and bright yellow urine. Manganese is safe in normal food amounts but high supplements may cause Parkinson-like symptoms and, rarely, liver damage — one severe case of irreversible Parkinson disease linked to 100 mg daily for years has been reported.
Alpha-lipoic acid commonly causes headache, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting; rare cases of rash and allergic skin reactions have occurred. Vitamin B1 safety data is not on file.
Pantothenic acid and niacinamide are likely safe in pregnancy and lactation at normal amounts; alpha-lipoic acid should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data, and manganese lactation safety is conflicting in the data.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (like warfarin), seizure medications (carbamazepine, primidone), antipsychotic drugs, thyroid hormone, diabetes medications, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, or chemotherapy drugs — these have Moderate or Minor interactions documented with ingredients in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a B-complex and mineral supplement useful mainly if you have a deficiency in these nutrients. If you take blood thinners, seizure medications, diabetes drugs, antipsychotics, thyroid hormone, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, or are undergoing chemotherapy, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before adding this product.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk with your pharmacist first, especially about the alpha-lipoic acid and manganese.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
C.A.C.
Factor - S by Nutri-West contains six ingredients, five of which we could check for drug interactions. The most serious concern is niacinamide, which carries Moderate-severity interactions with blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelets) — there's a case report of a patient on warfarin whose blood-thinning effect increased dangerously after taking niacinamide.
Niacinamide also interacts Moderately with two seizure medications (carbamazepine and primidone), potentially raising their levels and side effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Alpha-lipoic acid adds Moderate interactions with blood thinners, chemotherapy drugs (alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics), and thyroid hormone — it may increase bleeding risk, reduce chemo effectiveness, and lower thyroid medication potency. There's also a Minor interaction with diabetes drugs, where it theoretically raises low blood sugar risk.
Manganese presents Moderate interactions with antipsychotic drugs (raising toxicity risk), quinolone antibiotics, and tetracycline antibiotics (both may have reduced absorption). Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) has a Moderate interaction with tetracycline antibiotics.
Pantothenic acid has no known interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 344 individual medications.

Alpha Lipoic (Thioctic) Acid
Alkylating Agents
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of alpha-lipoic acid might alter the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
The use of antioxidants like alpha-lipoic acid during chemotherapy is controversial. There are concerns that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals. However, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that might interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid have on chemotherapy. Advise patients to consult their oncologist before using alpha-lipoic acid.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, alpha-lipoic acid may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, alpha-lipoic acid inhibits platelet aggregation.
Antitumor Antibiotics
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of alpha-lipoic acid might alter the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
The use of antioxidants like alpha-lipoic acid during chemotherapy is controversial. There are concerns that antioxidants could reduce the activity of antitumor antibiotic drugs, which work by generating free radicals. However, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that might interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid have on chemotherapy involving antitumor antibiotics. Advise patients to consult their oncologist before using alpha-lipoic acid.

Theoretically, alpha-lipoic acid might decrease the effects of thyroid hormone drugs.
Animal research suggests that co-administration of thyroxine with alpha-lipoic acid reduces conversion into the active T3 form.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking alpha-lipoic acid with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Although some small clinical studies have suggested that alpha-lipoic acid can lower blood glucose levels, larger clinical studies in patients with diabetes have shown no clinically meaningful effect. Additionally, co-administration of single doses of alpha-lipoic acid and glyburide or acarbose did not cause detectable drug interactions in healthy volunteers.
Niacinamide
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, niacinamide may have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, especially in patients on hemodialysis.
Several cases of thrombocytopenia have been reported for hemodialysis patients treated with niacinamide 1 gram daily. Hemodialysis patients receiving niacinamide had almost a three-fold higher risk of developing thrombocytopenia when compared with those receiving placebo.
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Niacinamide might increase the levels and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
Plasma levels of carbamazepine were increased in two children given high-dose niacinamide, 60-80 mg/kg/day. This might be due to inhibition of the cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in carbamazepine metabolism. There is not enough data to determine the clinical significance of this interaction.
Primidone (Mysoline)
Niacinamide might increase the levels and adverse effects of primidone.
Case reports in children suggest niacinamide 60-100 mg/kg/day reduces hepatic metabolism of primidone to phenobarbital, and reduces the overall clearance rate of primidone; however, there is not enough data to determine the clinical significance of this potential interaction.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There is limited evidence that niacinamide may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 8.4 after taking niacinamide 500 mg twice daily for 10 days. The patient's INR was previously stable, ranging between 2 and 3, with no other changes to current medications or diet reported. The elevated INR returned to the therapeutic range after receiving vitamin K and discontinuing niacinamide.
Manganese
Antipsychotic Drugs
Theoretically, the risk for manganese toxicity might increase when taken with antipsychotic drugs.
Hallucinations and behavioral changes have been reported in a patient with liver disease who was taking haloperidol and manganese. Researchers speculate that taking manganese along with haloperidol, phenothiazine-derivatives, or other antipsychotic medications might increase the risk of manganese toxicity in some patients.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Theoretically, manganese might reduce the absorption of quinolone antibiotics.
Manganese is a multivalent cation. Interactions resulting in reduced quinolone absorption have been reported between quinolones and other multivalent cations, such as calcium and iron.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Theoretically, manganese might reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics.
Manganese is a multivalent cation. Interactions resulting in reduced tetracycline absorption have been reported between tetracyclines and other multivalent cations, such as calcium and iron.
Vitamin B2
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.
