HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hesperidin by BulkSupplements.com

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: hesperidin, a flavonoid compound found naturally in citrus fruits. There are no inactive ingredients or fillers in this powder form.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Hesperidin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hesperidin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for hesperidin's effectiveness is limited. For weight management and cholesterol, the data we hold rates it as possibly ineffective — meaning studies haven't shown it works for these purposes.

For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it helps or not. If you're considering this supplement for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports its use for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hesperidin

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.

Hesperidin is generally well tolerated in the amounts found in food and during short-term use as a supplement, though long-term safety data is limited. One case of allergic skin irritation (allergic dermatitis) was reported when a related compound was applied topically to the skin.

The available safety information is not strong enough to recommend this supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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 — Hesperidin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 702 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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), blood pressure medications, sedatives or sleep aids, heart medications (especially verapamil or diltiazem), or celiprolol. These interactions are rated Moderate, and while most come from animal research rather than human cases, they warrant a conversation with your healthcare provider.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Hesperidin is a single-ingredient citrus flavonoid supplement with uncertain effectiveness for obesity, cholesterol, or liver health. It carries moderate interaction risks with blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, sedatives, and certain heart medications — most documented in animals or lab studies, not yet in people.

If you take any regular medications, check them against the interaction tool on this page or discuss it with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting. Pregnant and nursing individuals should avoid it.

Hesperidin7 drug types · 702 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hesperidin may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that hesperetin, a bioflavonoid aglycone derivative of hesperidin, may have antiplatelet activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking hesperidin with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical and animal research shows that hesperidin can decrease blood pressure. However, other clinical research shows that hesperidin does not affect blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Celiprolol (Celicard)

Theoretically, hesperidin may decrease the levels and clinical effects of celiprolol.
Animal research shows that concomitant use of hesperidin may reduce the plasma area under the curve of celiprolol by up to 75%. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use with CNS depressants may cause additive sedative effects.
Animal studies show that hesperidin has sedative effects, due to opioid receptor activity and can increase sedation when used with diazepam. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hesperidin may increase the levels and clinical effects of diltiazem.
Animal research suggests that hesperidin may enhance the bioavailability of diltiazem, increasing the plasma area under the curve of diltiazem by up to 65.3%. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, hesperidin might inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux and potentially increase levels of drugs that are substrates of P-glycoprotein.
In vitro research shows that hesperidin can inhibit P-glycoprotein efflux. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Theoretically, hesperidin might increase the levels and clinical effects of verapamil.
Animal research suggests that hesperidin may enhance the bioavailability of verapamil, increasing the plasma area under the curve of verapamil by 96.8%. This effect has not been reported in humans

Hesperidin by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Hesperidin by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Hesperidin has a known interaction with 702 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Hesperidin contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Is hesperidin safe during pregnancy?
There isn't enough safety information available to know whether hesperidin is safe in pregnancy. The data we hold advises against it during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know whether hesperidin passes into breast milk or whether it's safe for a nursing infant. The data we hold advises against it while breastfeeding. Discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.
Does hesperidin actually help with weight loss or cholesterol?
The evidence we hold rates hesperidin as possibly ineffective for both obesity and high cholesterol — meaning studies haven't shown it works for these purposes. If you're interested in trying it anyway, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence does and doesn't support.
Can hesperidin cause side effects?
Hesperidin is generally well tolerated, especially in the amounts found in food and during short-term supplement use. One case of allergic skin irritation was reported when a related compound was applied to the skin. Long-term safety data is limited, so if you have concerns about side effects, talk with your pharmacist.
What is hesperidin and where does it come from?
Hesperidin is a natural flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. It's sold as a supplement in purified powder form.
