HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Herb 360 Grape Seed by GNC Earth Genius

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 2 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (225 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Herb 360 Grape seed extract blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 6 active ingredients: oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, polyphenols, and proanthocyanidins—a mix sourced from a grape seed extract blend. Oleic acid is a fatty acid that may support cholesterol and heart health.

The polyphenols and proanthocyanidins are the plant compounds in grape seed extract that give it its antioxidant reputation, though the evidence we hold is limited to oleic acid alone. The product also contains two inactive ingredients (fillers/capsule materials): hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and silicon dioxide.

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 Oleic Acid's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Oleic Acid 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: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The only ingredient in this product with established effectiveness data is oleic acid, which is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. The grape seed extract compounds—polyphenols and proanthocyanidins—are often promoted for antioxidant benefits, but we hold no effectiveness ratings for them in our data.

If you're taking this mainly for those grape seed compounds, talk with your doctor about what the evidence actually supports for your situation.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Oleic acid itself is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts (like olive oil). At supplement-level doses, though, safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited.

Food amounts are considered safe during these periods, but concentrated supplements haven't been well studied. We hold no safety information for the other active ingredients in this product.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss this supplement with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

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 — Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

Check antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) with your pharmacist before starting—oleic acid may increase their effects and lower your blood sugar more than intended. Several other ingredients in this product we could not fully assess for interactions, so run your complete medication list through the search tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in grape seed extract and oleic acid for heart and cholesterol support, though the evidence is strongest for oleic acid alone. If you take blood sugar medications, be cautious—oleic acid may boost their effect.

Before starting, check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take any prescription drugs.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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 this help my cholesterol?
Oleic acid, one ingredient here, is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and heart disease. The other compounds (polyphenols, proanthocyanidins) are often marketed for antioxidant power, but we don't have effectiveness data for them. Talk with your doctor about whether this product fits your cholesterol plan.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Food amounts of oleic acid are considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied. We also don't have safety data on file for the other active ingredients at this dose level. Discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

They're plant compounds found naturally in grape seeds and known for antioxidant properties. They're the reason grape seed extract is popular in supplements, though the specific health benefits at supplement doses aren't well documented in our data.
I take metformin for diabetes—is this okay?
Oleic acid in this product may increase how well your blood sugar medication works, which could lower your blood sugar more than expected. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting to make sure it's safe with your specific dose and health situation.
Does this have any fillers?
Yes—it contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients (the capsule material and flow agents). These are standard in supplements and generally well tolerated.
