HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Homotaurine 100 mg by SuperSmart
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: homotaurine, 100 mg per capsule. The inactive ingredients are acacia gum and white rice bran, which are fillers and binders that make up the capsule.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for homotaurine isn't established in our data. The product has been studied for Alzheimer disease, cognitive impairment, glaucoma, and Parkinson disease, but we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of those uses.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies so far haven't given us enough clarity to say one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
In clinical trials, homotaurine was generally well tolerated. The most common side effects reported were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and sleep problems.
Nausea and vomiting appear dose-dependent — they occurred in 5% to 30% of people taking 50–150 mg twice daily, though some large studies saw similar rates in the placebo group too. Long-term safety as a supplement hasn't been well established.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for homotaurine. You can search your medications on this page to confirm, but based on what we hold, there's no major concern here.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Homotaurine is a compound that's been studied for cognitive and neurological conditions, but we don't have enough evidence to say whether it works for those purposes. It appears generally well tolerated in short-term trials, though nausea, dizziness, and headache can occur.
If you're thinking about taking it — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a health condition — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.
