HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grape Seed Extract by SuperiorLabs
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 powdered extract. Grape seed extract is rich in compounds called proanthocyanidins, which are plant antioxidants.
The capsules also include two inactive ingredients—plant cellulose and organic rice concentrate—which are excipients that help form and deliver the supplement.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence we hold supports that grape seed extract is possibly effective for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)—a condition where veins have trouble returning blood from the legs. For other uses listed in our data—chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and obesity—the evidence suggests it is possibly ineffective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Grape seed extract appears generally well tolerated in studies. The most common side effects when taken by mouth are abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, upset stomach, headache, joint pain, and nausea.
Rarely, anaphylaxis (a serious allergic reaction) to grape skin has been reported. The safety data advises against concentrated grape supplements and wine during pregnancy due to limited safety data; whole grapes as food are fine.
There isn't enough information on concentrated grape supplements while breastfeeding—talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—grape seed extract may raise bleeding risk. Also confirm its safety with them if you take cyclosporine, midazolam, or any medications processed by your liver's CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 enzyme systems.
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 chronic venous insufficiency, but it interacts with blood thinners, several enzyme systems, and specific medications like cyclosporine and midazolam. If you take any prescription drugs—especially blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or sedatives—check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should discuss it with their healthcare provider first.

Grape Seed Extract by SuperiorLabs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Grape Seed Extract by SuperiorLabs interacts with multiple medication types through its single active ingredient.
The most serious finding is a moderate-severity effect on blood thinner and antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, aspirin, and clopidogrel), where grape seed extract may increase bleeding risk because it can decrease platelet clumping (aggregation).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The extract also affects several enzyme systems your liver uses to break down drugs. It may increase levels of certain medications processed by CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 enzymes, and the effect on CYP3A4 is unclear—research suggests it might both increase and decrease levels of those drugs.
Additionally, grape seed extract can reduce absorption of cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant) by up to 30% and may decrease the effectiveness of midazolam (a sedative) with long-term use. It may also lower levels of drugs processed by CYP1A2 enzymes.
Alternately, phenacetin—an older pain reliever now largely discontinued—shows reduced absorption when taken with grape products. Altogether, these interactions span 911 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Grape Seed Extract 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 powdered 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.
