HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Crave Stop by Redd Remedies
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
Crave Stop contains six active ingredients. Gymnema (an Ayurvedic plant extract), vanadium (a trace mineral), chromium (another trace mineral), American ginseng root extract, and banaba leaf extract are the five we have data on; we could not check the Healthy Appetite Blend proprietary blend.
The product also contains inactive ingredients—vegetarian capsule, microcrystalline cellulose (a binder), magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—which are standard tablet and capsule fillers.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence for this product's purposes isn't yet established in our data. Gymnema shows insufficient reliable evidence for diabetes, obesity, or prediabetes; chromium is possibly effective for diabetes but possibly ineffective for prediabetes; American ginseng is possibly effective for upper respiratory tract infections; and banaba has insufficient evidence for diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Vanadium is likely effective for vanadium deficiency but has insufficient evidence for diabetes or other uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Gymnema is generally well tolerated short-term, but a rare case of drug-induced liver inflammation (hepatitis) was reported in someone who drank gymnema tea three times daily for 10 days; liver function normalized after 6 months. Vanadium at supplement doses can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea above the safe upper limit of 1.8 mg daily; rare cases of kidney damage have been reported at high doses over time.
Chromium is usually well tolerated at typical doses, though gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, and mood changes occur, and rare serious cases of kidney and liver damage have been reported. American ginseng is generally well tolerated short-term but may cause headaches; long-term safety isn't well studied.
Banaba appears well tolerated in short studies, though dizziness, headaches, tremor, and weakness were reported in one combination product (it's unclear which ingredient caused them). The product should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding: gymnema, vanadium (supplement doses), chromium (extra supplement doses), American ginseng, and banaba all lack enough safety data to recommend their use.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking Crave Stop, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners—American ginseng may reduce their effectiveness (Major severity). Also double-check if you're on diabetes medications (including insulin), blood pressure medications, thyroid medication (levothyroxine), immunosuppressant drugs, or MAOIs (older antidepressants)—all documented as moderate concerns with ingredients in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Crave Stop combines five botanical and mineral ingredients with documented interactions, the most serious being American ginseng with blood thinners like warfarin. If you take any blood thinners, diabetes medications, thyroid medication, blood pressure medication, immune-suppressing drugs, or an older antidepressant (MAOI), talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Don't take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Use the medication interaction checker on this page to verify your specific prescriptions.

Crave Stop by Redd Remedies Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Crave Stop by Redd Remedies has documented interactions with medications through its gymnema, vanadium, chromium, American ginseng, and banaba ingredients.
The most serious interaction is American ginseng with warfarin (a blood thinner), where ginseng appears to reduce warfarin's effectiveness and lower blood clotting ability, which could be dangerous.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Gymnema may raise levels of certain drugs processed by your liver's CYP1A2 enzyme and may lower blood sugar when combined with diabetes medications. Vanadium carries a moderate risk of increased bleeding with blood thinners and may lower blood sugar further if you're already on diabetes drugs.
Chromium may interfere with thyroid medication (levothyroxine) absorption, reduce its effectiveness, and can add to the blood-sugar-lowering effect of insulin or other diabetes drugs.
American ginseng also theoretically interferes with immune-suppressing drugs and MAOIs (certain older antidepressants), and may boost the blood-sugar-lowering effect of diabetes medications. Banaba may lower blood pressure beyond what antihypertensive drugs do on their own, lower blood sugar further with diabetes medications, and may reduce absorption of certain drug types (organic anion-transporting polypeptide substrates).
We could not check Healthy Appetite Blend for interactions.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,188 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions before starting.

Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) leaf extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking gymnema with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Gymnema reduces blood glucose levels in some human and animal research. In human studies, it has been shown to enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of hypoglycemic drugs. However, other research in adults with prediabetes or metabolic syndrome suggests that gymnema does not reduce fasting levels of blood glucose. Until more is known, monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, gymnema might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Animal and in vitro research shows that gymnema can inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme. In one animal study, oral administration of gymnema for 7 days increased the plasma concentrations of phenacetin, a CYP1A2 substrate, by about 1.4-fold and reduced the clearance of phenacetin by about 29%.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, gymnema might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Animal research shows that gymnema can induce the CYP2C9 enzyme. In one animal study, gymnema caused a 2.4-fold increase in the clearance of tolbutamide, a CYP2C9 substrate, in rats. In vitro research also shows that gymnema can inhibit CYP2C9.
Phenacetin
Theoretically, taking gymnema with phenacetin might increase the levels of phenacetin.
Animal research shows that gymnema, administered orally for 7 days, decreases the clearance of phenacetin in a dose-dependent manner by about 21% to 29% and increases plasma levels about 1.3- to 1.4-fold when compared to control.
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
Theoretically, taking gymnema with tolbutamide might the decrease levels of tolbutamide.
Animal research shows that gymnema, administered orally for 7 days, increases the clearance of tolbutamide by 2.4-fold when compared to control.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, gymnema might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
One in vitro study using rat liver microsomes shows that gymnema can modestly inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme. However, other in vitro research using human liver microsomes shows that gymnema does not affect CYP3A4 activity. Animal research also shows that gymnema does not alter the function of CYP3A4. In one study in rats, oral administration of gymnema for 7 days did not alter the clearance of amlodipine, a CYP3A4 substrate.
Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) (Glucohelp) leaf extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of banaba and hypoglycemic drugs might have additive effects.
Human and animal research suggests that banaba can lower blood glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of banaba and antihypertensive drugs might cause additive effects.
Human and animal research suggests that banaba can lower blood pressure.
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)
Theoretically, concomitant use of banaba with substrates of OATP might reduce the bioavailability of the OATP substrate.
In vitro research shows that banaba inhibits OATP, particularly OATP2B1. OATPs are expressed in the small intestine and liver and are responsible for the absorption of drugs and other compounds.
American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) root extract
Warfarin (Coumadin)
American ginseng seems to decrease the effectiveness of warfarin therapy.
Healthy patients receiving warfarin 5 mg daily, who also take American ginseng 1 gram twice daily, seem to have a significantly reduced international normalized ratio (INR).
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking American ginseng with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
American ginseng seems to lower postprandial blood glucose. Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might enhance blood glucose lowering effects and possibly cause hypoglycemia.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, American ginseng use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
American ginseng seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, American ginseng might decrease the effectiveness of immunosuppressant drugs.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)
Theoretically, American ginseng can interfere with MAOI therapy.
There is one case report of insomnia, headache, and tremors when an unspecified ginseng product was used with phenelzine (Nardil), an MAOI. There is also one case report of hypomania when an unspecified ginseng product was used with phenelzine. Theoretically, American ginseng may interfere with MAOI therapy.
Vanadium
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, vanadium might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that the sodium orthovanadate form of vanadium prolongs clotting time, likely through inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, vanadium might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
A few very small clinical studies in patients with type 2 diabetes show that the vanadyl sulfate form of vanadium increases insulin sensitivity and might lower blood glucose levels.
Chromium
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.
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,
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.
Aspirin
Theoretically, aspirin might increase chromium absorption.
Animal research suggests that aspirin may increase chromium absorption and chromium levels in the blood.
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.
