HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cyracos Capsules 300 mg by Nootropics Depot

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Cyracos Capsules contains one active ingredient: a lemon balm extract at 300 mg per capsule. Lemon balm is a plant used traditionally for stress and has been studied for cold sores and mood support.

The capsule also contains cellulose, an inactive ingredient that helps form the capsule shell.

Does it work?

Moderate 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Lemon Balm's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Lemon Balm for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Herpes labialis (cold sores) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Depression — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Stress — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence shows lemon balm is possibly effective for cold sores (herpes labialis) and possibly effective for stress and depression. That means there's some clinical support, but the research isn't definitive — it's a reasonable option if you're exploring natural approaches to these concerns, though stronger evidence exists for other treatments.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Balm

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.

Lemon balm is generally well tolerated for short-term use in most healthy adults, though long-term safety and effects at high doses haven't been well studied. Side effects like dizziness and sedation have been reported, but they don't appear to happen more often than with placebo.

One rare case of heart rhythm abnormality was reported with a product containing lemon balm plus several other ingredients, but it's unclear if lemon balm alone was responsible. During pregnancy, safety data is limited — the best approach is to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

While breastfeeding, there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe, so talk with your doctor before using it.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cyracos is worth considering if you're looking into lemon balm for stress, mood, or cold sores and have no concerns with your current medications. If you take anything that slows your nervous system (sedatives, sleeping pills, some pain relievers) or thyroid hormone replacement, check with your pharmacist first.

Pregnant people should avoid it unless their doctor says it's okay.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of lemon balm might have additive effects with CNS depressant drugs.
Lemon balm seems to have CNS depressant activity in animals and in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, lemon balm might interfere with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
In vitro, constituents of lemon balm extract bind to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), preventing TSH receptor-binding and leading to the inhibition of TSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. In animals, lemon balm extract has been shown to decrease levels of circulating TSH and inhibit thyroid secretion.

Cyracos Capsules 300 mg by Nootropics Depot: Common Questions

Does Cyracos Capsules 300 mg by Nootropics Depot interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cyracos Capsules 300 mg has a known interaction with 264 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cyracos Capsules 300 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 lemon balm extract actually effective for cold sores?
The evidence says it's possibly effective — so there's some clinical support, but it's not a slam-dunk cure. It's a reasonable option if you want to explore it, but don't expect a guarantee.
Will this make me drowsy?
Some people report dizziness and sedation with lemon balm, but clinical trials show it doesn't happen more often than placebo — so it's not a common or predictable side effect for most people.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety and safety at high doses haven't been well studied. If you're thinking of using it for weeks or months, talk with your pharmacist about what we know and don't know.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Safety data is limited, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise. Have that conversation with your doctor before starting.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it — they can give you personalized guidance.
What's in the capsule besides the lemon balm extract?
Just cellulose, which is the inactive ingredient that makes up the capsule shell. There are no fillers or other inactive ingredients listed.
