Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

D-Mulsion 400 Citrus Flavor contains 2 active ingredients: vitamin D and stevia rebaudiana leaf extract. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient your body uses to absorb calcium, maintain bone health, and support immune function — this product delivers it as a liquid in citrus flavor.

Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant leaf. The product also includes inactive ingredients (excipients like water, maltodextrin, tapioca starch, olive oil, and others) that serve as carriers and preservatives.

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: Vitamin D supplementation for bone and immune health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteomalacia, Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, Hyperparathyroidism-related bone loss, Kidney transplant-related bone loss, Fractures, Fall prevention — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Effective" for Osteomalacia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Effective" for Vitamin D deficiency.
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Likely Effective" for Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

Vitamin D is proven effective for familial hypophosphatemia, osteomalacia (soft bones from vitamin D deficiency), renal osteodystrophy (bone disease from kidney failure), rickets, and hypoparathyroidism (underactive parathyroid glands). For stevia, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss — the research hasn't established it yet.

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin D is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. However, very high doses taken over time can cause toxicity with symptoms like high blood calcium, which can lead to bone loss and in rare cases vision and kidney problems.

At recommended amounts, it's often used during pregnancy and is considered acceptable while breastfeeding, though you should confirm the right dose for you with your doctor. Stevia and steviol glycosides (its active compounds) are well tolerated orally; most people who experience minor side effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, or numbness find these resolve after the first week.

Allergic reactions are rare. Data on the safety of whole-leaf stevia or high-dose stevia supplements in pregnancy and lactation isn't on file — talk with your doctor about whether this product is right for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in D-Mulsion 400 Citrus Flavor 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.

Vitamin D8 drug types · 715 drugs

Aluminum

Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)

Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) leaf std. extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

D-Mulsion 400 Citrus Flavor by Genestra Brands: Common Questions

Does D-Mulsion 400 Citrus Flavor by Genestra Brands interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, D-Mulsion 400 Citrus Flavor has a known interaction with 885 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
D-Mulsion 400 Citrus Flavor contains 2 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.
What's the dose of vitamin D in this product?
The product name D-Mulsion 400 indicates 400 IU of vitamin D per serving, though you should confirm the serving size on the label. This is below the tolerable upper intake level of 4000 IU daily for adults, which matters if you're taking medications that interact with higher vitamin D doses.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Vitamin D is likely safe and often used at recommended doses during pregnancy and is likely safe while breastfeeding. However, the safety data for stevia extract at supplement doses during pregnancy and lactation isn't established. Talk with your doctor about the right choice for you.
What side effects might I experience?
Vitamin D is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Stevia may cause bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, or numbness in some people, though these usually resolve after the first week. Serious adverse effects are rare with either ingredient at normal doses.
Is this safe if I take it every day?
At recommended doses, vitamin D is safe for daily use. However, very high doses over time can cause vitamin D toxicity, so stick to the label dose and avoid combining it with other vitamin D sources without checking with your doctor.
Can this help with vitamin D deficiency?
Yes — vitamin D is proven effective for treating vitamin D deficiency and related bone conditions like rickets and osteomalacia. If you suspect a deficiency, your doctor can test your levels and recommend the right dose.
Does stevia have any proven benefits in this product?
In this product, stevia is used as a sweetener. The evidence for stevia's effectiveness for diabetes, blood pressure, or weight loss hasn't been established in the data we hold, so it's mainly here for taste.
