HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Choline Complex by Pure Synergy

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

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 1 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “organic Whole-Food Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (200 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This tablet contains 7 ingredients, with choline as the primary active component. You're also getting a certified organic whole-food complex that includes barley grass, collard green, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage — all nutrient-dense vegetables.

The inactive ingredients are certified organic acacia, certified organic rice, and a vegetarian tablet coating.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Essential nutrient for overall health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for this product is mixed and ingredient-specific. Broccoli shows possibly effective evidence for colorectal cancer prevention.

Barley grass has likely effective evidence for lowering cholesterol and supporting heart health. Cabbage appears possibly effective for breast engorgement.

However, choline itself shows insufficient reliable evidence for athletic performance, Alzheimer's disease, age-related cognitive decline, hay fever, and several other uses listed in the product. Most of the other ingredients and uses lack established evidence in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Choline Barley Collard Broccoli Cauliflower Cabbage

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 4 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.

Choline is generally well tolerated when used at appropriate doses but has a daily upper limit of 3.5 grams; doses exceeding this can cause fishy body odor, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and salivation. Barley is safe as a food but contains gluten and carries a small risk of allergic reactions in sensitive people — concentrated barley supplements are less well studied in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are all safe as foods in normal amounts, though concentrated supplements are less studied in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Collard greens are widely eaten and considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

No adverse effects are documented for arugula in our data.

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?
  • 6 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Cabbage, Choline, Barley, Broccoli, Cauliflower, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 341 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 with your pharmacist if you take any drugs broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 or CYP2A6 enzymes, antidiabetes medications, acetaminophen, oxazepam, warfarin (blood thinner), or triclabendazole (antiparasitic). All of these are Moderate-severity concerns.

Also mention if you take atropine, though that's a Minor interaction. If you're unsure what your medications are or how they're processed, the checker below can help.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take medications metabolized by your liver (especially antidiabetes drugs, acetaminophen, warfarin, or certain psychiatric medications), or antiparasitic drugs, you need to check this product with your pharmacist first — the interactions are real and could affect how well your medications work. Otherwise, as a food-based supplement, it's generally well tolerated, though high doses of choline may cause side effects.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether this is right for you and your medications.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Choline Complex with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

certified organic Cabbage6 drug types · 325 drugs

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)

Cabbage might increase clearance and reduce the effects of acetaminophen.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and Brussels sprout decreases acetaminophen levels by as much as 16%, with some evidence suggesting that this effect is due to increased elimination through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, cabbage might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vivo research suggests that cabbage might have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, cabbage might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Some animal research suggests that cabbage or its constituent indole-3-carbinol might increase drug metabolism and elimination by stimulating CYP1A2 activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, cabbage might increase clearance and decrease the effects of drugs metabolized through glucuronide conjugation.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and Brussels sprout decreases levels of some drugs metabolized through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Oxazepam (Serax)

Cabbage might increase clearance and reduce the effects of oxazepam.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and brussels sprout decreases oxazepam levels by as much as 17%, with some evidence suggesting that this effect is due to increased elimination through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, cabbage might decrease the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
Cabbage contains vitamin K. If consumed in large quantities, cabbage might decrease the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
certified organic Cabbage full monograph & interactions

certified organic Broccoli2 drug types · 187 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of fresh broccoli daily for 6-12 days can increase CYP1A2 activity by 10% to 200%. Induction of CYP1A2 activity by broccoli is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, broccoli might reduce the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2A6.
Pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that eating 500 grams of broccoli daily for 6 days increases CYP2A6 activity by 135% to 550%. Induction of CYP2A6 activity is attributed to its glucosinolate constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
certified organic Broccoli full monograph & interactions

certified organic Cauliflower1 drug type · 186 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that eating cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, daikon radish sprouts, and cabbage, can increase cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) activity by 14% to 27%. Theoretically, cauliflower might increase the clearance and decrease the effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2. Some drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), theophylline, zileuton (Zyflo), zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
certified organic Cauliflower full monograph & interactions

certified organic Collard Green1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

In an animal study, an aqueous extract of collard leaves and stems has been shown to reduce glucose levels. Collard extract 60 mg/kg lowers blood glucose levels in a rat model of diabetes after both single- and multi-dose oral administration similarly to glibenclamide 5 mg/kg. Theoretically, collard extract might have additive effects when used concomitantly with antidiabetes drugs and may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), and tolbutamide (Orinase).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Choline1 drug type · 16 drugs

Atropine

Theoretically, choline might decrease the effects of atropine in the brain.
Animal research shows that administering choline one hour before administering atropine can attenuate atropine-induced decreases in brain levels of acetylcholine. Theoretically, concomitant use of choline and atropine may decrease the effects of atropine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

certified organic Barley Grass1 drug type · 1 drug

Triclabendazole (Egaten)

Theoretically, barley might decrease the clinical effects of triclabendazole.
Animal research suggests that a diet supplemented with barley can reduce the bioavailability of triclabendazole when taken concomitantly. This effect has not been shown in humans.

Choline Complex by Pure Synergy: Common Questions

Does Choline Complex by Pure Synergy interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Choline Complex has a known interaction with 341 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Choline Complex 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.
Is choline safe at high doses?
Choline is well tolerated at normal supplement doses, but the safe upper limit is 3.5 grams daily. Doses above that — especially 9 grams or more — can cause fishy body odor, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Check the label to see how much choline is in each tablet, and talk to your pharmacist if you're taking a high-dose choline product.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Choline is rated likely safe in pregnancy, and collard, broccoli, and cauliflower are all considered safe as foods. However, barley and cabbage concentrated supplements are less well studied in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product to make sure it's right for you and your pregnancy.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Choline is rated likely safe during breastfeeding, and eating collard, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage as foods is generally considered safe. Barley concentrated supplements have little safety data for breastfeeding. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide if this product is appropriate while you're nursing.
Does this product really help with cholesterol?
The barley grass in this blend has likely effective evidence for lowering cholesterol and supporting heart health. The other ingredients don't have strong evidence for cholesterol. If heart health is your main goal, ask your pharmacist whether this product alone is what you need or if you should discuss it with your doctor.
What's the difference between this and just eating these vegetables?
You're getting concentrated forms of these vegetables in tablet form, which is more convenient than cooking large amounts. However, some of the interactions listed apply mainly to concentrated supplements or high daily amounts — eating normal food portions of cabbage or broccoli is unlikely to cause the same drug interactions as this supplement.
Will this make my body odor smell fishy?
Fishy body odor is a documented side effect of choline at high doses, caused by how your gut breaks it down. If your tablet delivers a high choline dose, this is possible — check the nutrition label and ask your pharmacist what amount you're getting per dose.
