HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grape Seed Extract 400 mg by Nova Nutritions
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: grape seed extract at 400 mg per capsule. Grape seed extract comes from the seeds of grapes and is rich in compounds called proanthocyanidins, which are thought to have antioxidant properties.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—cellulose, vegetable cellulose, silica, and vegetable stearate—which are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for grape seed extract is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for chronic venous insufficiency (poor blood circulation in the legs), meaning there's some supporting research but it's not definitive.
For chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and obesity, the evidence leans toward possibly ineffective, so it's unlikely to help much with those conditions.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Grape seed extract appears generally well tolerated in studies. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, indigestion, headache, joint pain, and nausea.
A rare serious reaction—anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) to grape skin—has been reported. For pregnancy, the safety data advises against concentrated grape supplements; grapes as food are fine, but concentrated supplements should be avoided due to limited safety information.
For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you're on blood thinners (like warfarin), antiplatelet drugs (like clopidogrel), cyclosporine, or midazolam. You should also verify any medications your liver breaks down—especially those processed by CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, or CYP2E1 enzymes—since grape seed extract may change how well they work.
Altogether, these interactions span 911 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Grape seed extract may help with circulation problems in the legs, though the evidence isn't rock-solid. The bigger question is whether it plays well with your other medications—it has multiple documented interactions, especially with blood thinners and certain prescription drugs your liver metabolizes.
If you're on any medications, check them against the interaction tool on this page before you start. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's the right choice for you.

Grape Seed Extract 400 mg by Nova Nutritions Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Grape Seed Extract 400 mg by Nova Nutritions does interact with medications.
The main concern is through its effects on how your liver breaks down certain drugs—specifically medications that depend on enzymes called CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP2E1. Additionally, grape seed extract may increase bleeding risk if you're taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs.
There's also a documented interaction with cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant medication: grape juice has been shown to reduce its absorption by up to 30%, so you'd need to space them at least 2 hours apart. Long-term use might also reduce the effectiveness of midazolam, a sedative medication.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The liver-enzyme interactions work in different directions depending on the enzyme. Grape seed extract may decrease levels of CYP1A2 substrates (based on a small study with grape juice), increase levels of CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 substrates (in vitro evidence, not yet seen in humans), and have unclear effects on CYP3A4 substrates—the research is conflicting on whether it raises or lowers them.
Most of these interactions are theoretical at this point, supported by lab or animal studies but not yet reported in people taking the supplement alongside these drugs.
Altogether, these interactions span 911 individual medications. Before you start grape seed extract, run your exact medications through the checker on this page to see if any of yours are affected.

For each ingredient in Grape Seed Extract 400 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Grape seed extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape extracts might decrease platelet aggregation.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water. Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates
Theoretically, grape seed extract might increase the levels of CYP2E1 substrates.
In vitro and animal research suggests that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, long-term intake of grape seed extract might decrease the effects of midazolam.
Animal research shows that subchronic ingestions of grape seed extract can increase the elimination of intravenous midazolam by increasing hepatic CYP3A4 activity. Single doses of grape seed extract do not appear to affect midazolam elimination.
Phenacetin
Grape juice might decrease phenacetin absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2).
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism. The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.
