HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CholestStall by Advanced Nutrition by Zahler

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

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 7 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

CholestStall contains seven active ingredients. Vitamin B12 and folate are B vitamins that support energy and cell function.

Vitamin B6 is another B vitamin involved in nerve health and metabolism. Chromium is a mineral that plays a role in blood sugar regulation.

Dimethylaminoethanol (deanol) is a compound that affects brain chemistry. Bergamonte is an extract from bergamot fruit, and Hytolive is an olive extract.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — hypromellose (a capsule material), rice, and rice extract blend — which are excipients that help hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support healthy cholesterol levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Beta blocker-induced dyslipidemia, Diabetes — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin B6 is rated "Likely Effective" for Hyperhomocysteinemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bergamot is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hyperlipidemia.
  • Also on file: Vitamin B12 is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hyperhomocysteinemia.

The evidence for CholestStall's ingredients varies. Vitamin B12 is effective for B12 deficiency and certain conditions; it's likely effective for cyanide poisoning and possibly effective for canker sores and nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia).

Vitamin B6 is effective for certain types of anemia and B6 deficiency, and likely effective for high homocysteine levels; it's possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea. Chromium is likely effective for chromium deficiency and possibly effective for type 2 diabetes, but possibly ineffective for prediabetes and high blood pressure.

Dimethylaminoethanol is likely ineffective for Alzheimer's disease and tardive dyskinesia, and evidence is insufficient for aging skin, athletic performance, and ADHD. Bergamonte is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) but possibly ineffective for mental alertness; evidence is insufficient for fatty liver disease and autism.

Hytolive (olive) has insufficient evidence for osteoporosis, indigestion, exercise-related respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis.

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 6 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin B12 is generally well tolerated — your body removes excess in urine — and is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding at normal amounts. Vitamin B6 is well tolerated at doses under 100 mg daily, but high doses over time can harm nerves (sensory neuropathy), particularly above 1,000 mg daily.

It's considered likely safe in pregnancy, though one rating flags possibly unsafe; follow your doctor's guidance if you're pregnant. Chromium is usually well tolerated at typical supplement doses but may cause gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, insomnia, irritability, or mood changes; high or long-term doses carry risks, and it's best avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor recommends it.

Dimethylaminoethanol may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, drowsiness, nausea, or vomiting; avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Bergamonte's oral extract is generally well tolerated short-term, but the essential oil can be toxic if swallowed and cause sun-related skin reactions; avoid it in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Hytolive (olive extract) is well tolerated in food amounts and may cause headache or stomach discomfort; olives and olive oil as foods are safe, but concentrated supplements need doctor approval.

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?
  • 5 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bergamot, Deanol, Vitamin B12, Chromium, Vitamin B6.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 722 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 CholestStall, check with a pharmacist if you take seizure medications (phenytoin or phenobarbital), blood pressure medications, diabetes or insulin medications, levothyroxine (thyroid), metformin, amiodarone (heart rhythm), NSAIDs or aspirin, anticholinergic drugs, or cholinergic medications. The vitamin B6 content poses the most serious concern at high doses with seizure medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

CholestStall may help support cholesterol and blood sugar levels if you don't take medications that interact with it. If you take seizure medications, blood pressure drugs, diabetes or insulin medications, thyroid medication (levothyroxine), metformin, or photosensitizing drugs, you need to check your specific prescriptions with a pharmacist before starting.

Bergamonte2 drug types · 410 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking bergamot with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that bergamot juice has hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, topical bergamot essential oil might increase the risk of side effects when used along with photosensitizing drugs.
Bergamot contains bergapten, which has photosensitizing effects.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Dimethylaminoethanol full monograph & interactions

Vitamin B65 drug types · 210 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Vitamin B6 full monograph & interactions

Chromium5 drug types · 178 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chromium may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some research shows that taking chromium might lower blood glucose levels, especially in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Insulin

Theoretically, concomitant use of chromium and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In clinical research, chromium has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity,

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Chromium might bind levothyroxine in the intestinal tract and decrease levothyroxine absorption.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that taking chromium picolinate 1000 mcg with levothyroxine 1 mg decreases serum levels of levothyroxine by 17% when compared to taking levothyroxine alone. Advise patients to take levothyroxine at least 30 minutes before or 3-4 hours after taking chromium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase chromium absorption.
Animal research suggests that aspirin may increase chromium absorption and chromium levels in the blood.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

NSAIDs might increase chromium levels in the body.
Drugs that are prostaglandin inhibitors, such as NSAIDs, seem to increase chromium absorption and retention.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chromium full monograph & interactions

Vitamin B121 drug type · 20 drugs

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.

CholestStall by Advanced Nutrition by Zahler: Common Questions

Does CholestStall by Advanced Nutrition by Zahler interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, CholestStall has a known interaction with 722 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
CholestStall contains 7 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.
Does this product contain anything that could be harmful?
All ingredients are generally well tolerated at the doses in this supplement. Vitamin B6 can cause nerve damage at very high doses over time, and a few ingredients like bergamonte are not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you have a specific health condition or take medications, your pharmacist can tell you if there are any concerns for you.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Vitamin B12 and chromium are considered likely safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding; vitamin B6 is likely safe in pregnancy with one possibly unsafe rating — follow your doctor's advice. Bergamonte and dimethylaminoethanol should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplement.
What does bergamonte do in this product?
Bergamonte is an extract from bergamot fruit and is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). It contains bergapten, a compound with photosensitizing effects, so it may make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure.
Will this product help lower my cholesterol?
Bergamonte in this product is possibly effective for high cholesterol based on our data. Whether it will help you depends on your individual situation and other factors — talk to your doctor about whether this supplement is appropriate for your cholesterol management.
Can I take this if I'm on metformin for diabetes?
Vitamin B12 in this product has a minor interaction with metformin — metformin can lower B12 levels over time with prolonged use. Chromium and bergamonte also theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar if combined with diabetes medications. Check with your pharmacist about your specific dose and medications before starting.
What is dimethylaminoethanol (deanol) supposed to do?
Dimethylaminoethanol is a compound that affects brain chemistry by increasing acetylcholine levels. Evidence shows it is likely ineffective for Alzheimer's disease and tardive dyskinesia, and evidence is insufficient for ADHD and other cognitive uses.
