HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cholesstrinol HPe 150 mg by OptiChoice

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Cholesstrinol HPe” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (150 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Cholesstrinol HPe 150 mg contains three active ingredients. TocoSource Palm Tocotrienols is a form of vitamin E extracted from palm oil.

The product also includes PMF-source Citrus Flavones and ErioSource Eriocitrin, which are plant compounds from citrus. The capsule itself is made from vegetable material, with rice powder as an inactive filler.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Tocotrienols's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: heart health and healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tocotrienols is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Hypercholesterolemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tocotrienols is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Metabolic syndrome.

The tocotrienol in this product is rated possibly effective for diabetes and possibly ineffective for high cholesterol. For alopecia areata (hair loss) and breast cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

If you're taking this product for cholesterol, the evidence doesn't support that use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tocotrienols

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.

Tocotrienols are generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety at supplement doses isn't fully established. The safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough information — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing. When taken by mouth, tocotrienols haven't caused any adverse effects in clinical trials.

Topically (applied to skin), a small number of trial participants reported mild itching.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tocotrienols

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Tocotrienols.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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 Cholesstrinol HPe, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications — blood thinners and drugs that prevent clotting — because tocotrienols may increase bleeding risk, even though it hasn't been seen in humans yet.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're considering this product for diabetes, there's some evidence it may help. If you're taking blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — there's a theoretical bleeding risk.

Avoid it during pregnancy, and talk with your doctor if you're breastfeeding. Run your exact medications through the search tool on this page before you start.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Concomitant use of tocotrienols with anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents might increase the risk of bleeding. However, this has not been reported in humans.
Taking tocotrienols orally inhibits experimentally-induced platelet aggregation in humans. Theoretically tocotrienols might increase the risk of bleeding if taken with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. However, tocotrienols 400-800 mg daily have been used with aspirin and/or clopidogrel for 1 year with no clear cumulative antiplatelet effects and no reports of bleeding.
