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 contain one active ingredient: lemon balm extract, at 600 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose.

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).

Lemon balm is rated possibly effective for cold sores (herpes labialis) and for stress and depression. The evidence supporting these uses is modest — they fall short of being well established — so results aren't guaranteed, but some clinical data back them up.

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 healthy adults, though long-term and high-dose safety hasn't been thoroughly studied. A small number of trial participants reported dizziness and sedation, but these effects didn't occur more often than with placebo.

One case of serious heart rhythm changes was reported with a multi-ingredient product containing lemon balm, but it's unclear whether lemon balm alone was responsible. Pregnancy safety data is insufficient — there isn't enough reliable information, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Breastfeeding safety information is also limited, so talk to your doctor before using it while nursing.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lemon Balm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 264 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 you take Cyracos, check with your pharmacist if you're on CNS depressants (sedatives, sleeping pills, anxiety medications, narcotic pain relievers) or thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Lemon balm may intensify the drowsy or sedating effects of the first group and could theoretically interfere with the second.

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 an option if you're interested in herbal support for cold sores or stress, and it's generally well tolerated short-term. However, if you take sedatives, sleeping pills, pain relievers, or thyroid medication, check with your pharmacist first.

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 600 mg by Nootropics Depot: Common Questions

Does Cyracos Capsules 600 mg by Nootropics Depot interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cyracos Capsules 600 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 600 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.
Will lemon balm make me drowsy?
Lemon balm has CNS depressant activity, so drowsiness is possible — but in clinical trials, it didn't happen more often than placebo. If you're sensitive to sedating herbs or you're already taking medications that make you sleepy, be cautious.
Can I take this if I'm on thyroid medication?
Lemon balm may interfere with how your thyroid replacement works. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before adding it — they may want to monitor your thyroid levels more closely.
Is lemon balm proven to work for cold sores?
It's rated possibly effective, which means there's some clinical support but the evidence isn't strong. You may see benefit, or you may not — individual results vary.
What if I want to take this long-term?
Safety data is solid for short-term use in healthy adults, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. Talk to your pharmacist about your plans.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pregnancy safety data is too limited — it's best avoided in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise. Breastfeeding safety is also not well documented, so check with your doctor first.
