HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Formula CX 1000 mg by TumoRx

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

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 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Formula CX 1000 mg contains 2 active ingredients: ATP (also called adenosine) and pancreatin, housed in a gelatin capsule. ATP is the chemical that delivers energy inside your cells and also acts as a signaling molecule in the body; pancreatin is a digestive enzyme blend sourced from animal pancreas that helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food.

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

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

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Adenosine 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: Cardiovascular disease diagnosis — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Cachexia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The effectiveness data we hold is specific to the prescription injectable form of adenosine (ATP), not oral supplements. That data shows adenosine is effective for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (a type of rapid heart rhythm) and for diagnostic cardiovascular imaging stress tests — but those studies use the prescription intravenous form given by medical professionals, not this oral supplement.

We don't have effectiveness evidence for this formula as taken by mouth.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Adenosine

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.

Here's the honest picture: the safety data on ATP as an oral supplement is very limited. The prescription injectable form is powerful and carries real risks — chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, flushing, and in rare cases, serious heart rhythm problems.

The data notes that when adenosine is given by mouth or muscle, no adverse effects have been reported — but that's because thorough safety testing of oral use hasn't been done, not because it's proven safe. The safety notes on file advise caution with oral supplement use.

There isn't enough information to recommend this during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and one safety note advises against breastfeeding use. Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme, but we have no safety data on file for it as used in this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Adenosine

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Adenosine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • For scale: 47 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.

If you take dipyridamole (Persantine) for heart health, stop before any cardiac stress test using adenosine and check with your doctor — this product could increase its effects dangerously. If you're on carbamazepine (Tegretol) for seizures, discuss with your pharmacist whether this product's ATP could raise your heart block risk.

Stimulants like caffeine and theophylline can block ATP's effects — you may want to avoid them around the time you take this.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product contains ATP, which is most familiar as a prescription heart diagnostic agent — not an oral supplement. The effectiveness and safety evidence you'd expect before taking a supplement aren't established for the oral form in this capsule.

If you have a heart condition, take heart medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

ATP3 drug types · 47 drugs

Dipyridamole (Persantine)

Dipyridamole can increase the therapeutic and toxic effects of adenosine.
Dipyridamole decreases the metabolism of adenosine. Intravenous infusion of adenosine in patients who are taking dipyridamole can cause dizziness, bradycardia, and syncope. Dipyridamole should be discontinued for several days prior to a cardiac stress test using adenosine.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Carbamazepine might increase the risk of heart block when used concomitantly with adenosine.
Carbamazepine and adenosine can both cause heart block. Giving them concurrently might produce an additive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Methylxanthines

Methylxanthines are competitive antagonists of adenosine and can block its pharmacologic effects.
The methylxanthines, aminophylline, caffeine, and theophylline, can block the effects of adenosine by acting as competitive antagonists at adenosine cell surface receptors. It is recommended that methylxanthines be avoided for 24 hours prior to cardiac stress tests.

Formula CX 1000 mg by TumoRx: Common Questions

Does Formula CX 1000 mg by TumoRx interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Formula CX 1000 mg has a known interaction with 47 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Formula CX 1000 mg 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 is ATP, and why is it in this supplement?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy molecule your cells use. In prescription form given by IV, it's used to diagnose heart conditions and treat certain rapid heart rhythms. This oral supplement form is much less studied, and we don't have clear evidence it works the same way by mouth.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on file to say either way. The data advises against use while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they can weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
Can I take this with my heart medications?
It depends on which one. Some heart drugs — especially dipyridamole — have serious interactions with ATP. Check your exact medications with the interaction tool on this page, and confirm with your pharmacist before starting.
What's pancreatin, and does it work?
Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme blend that helps your body break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. We don't have effectiveness or safety data on file for it in this product.
Does caffeine block this product's effects?
Yes — caffeine is a methylxanthine that can block adenosine's effects by competing at cell receptors. If you take this product, it's best to avoid caffeine and similar stimulants for at least 24 hours.
