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

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: ipriflavone 600 mg per capsule. Ipriflavone is a plant-derived compound used to support bone density and strength.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — cellulose, ascorbic acid, rice powder, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica — which serve as fillers, binders, and stabilizers.

Does it work?

Strong 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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: bone density and osteoporosis support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal bone loss, Bone health.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Ipriflavone is rated "Likely Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).

Ipriflavone is likely effective for osteoporosis and Paget disease (a bone disorder that causes abnormal bone growth). The evidence supporting these uses comes from clinical research, though as with any supplement, real-world results can vary by person.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ipriflavone

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.

Ipriflavone is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, but some people experience stomach pain, diarrhea, or dizziness. There's also concern that long-term use — at least 6 months or longer — can lower white blood cell counts, so caution is warranted with extended use.

The safety data during pregnancy is not sufficient to recommend use, and there isn't reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so those who are pregnant or nursing should avoid this product and talk with their doctor or pharmacist about alternatives.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ipriflavone

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 — Ipriflavone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 391 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 theophylline (for breathing problems) — ipriflavone can raise its levels and cause toxicity. You should also double-check if you're on antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, muscle relaxers, blood thinners, or any immunosuppressant medication, since ipriflavone can raise levels of drugs processed through certain liver pathways and may amplify immune suppression.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Ipriflavone may be worth considering if you have osteoporosis or Paget disease and your doctor thinks it's appropriate for you. However, because it interacts with a large number of medications and can lower white blood cells with long-term use, it's not right for everyone.

Before starting, check your medications with your own doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take theophylline, immunosuppressants, or any drugs metabolized by your liver.

Ipriflavone4 drug types · 391 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Ipriflavone is thought to competitively inhibit cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2). Theoretically, concurrent use of ipriflavone and drugs metabolized by these enzymes might result in decreased drug elimination, increased serum levels, and potential toxicity. Some drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), Pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), theophylline (Slo-bid, Theo-Dur, others), zileuton (Zyflo), Zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Ipriflavone is thought to competitively inhibit cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9). Theoretically, concurrent use of ipriflavone and drugs metabolized by these enzymes might result in decreased drug elimination, increased serum levels, and potential toxicity. Some drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 include amitriptyline (Elavil), diazepam (Valium), estradiol (Estrace), tacrine (Cognex), verapamil (Calan), warfarin (Coumadin), zileuton (Zyflo), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Concurrent use of ipriflavone and immunosuppressant drugs might have additive effects on inhibiting immune function. Some patients taking ipriflavone experience subclinical lymphocytopenia; avoid concurrent use. Immunosuppressant drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), and other corticosteroids (glucocorticoids).

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Theophylline

Concomitant use of theophylline and ipriflavone can increase serum theophylline levels. Increased theophylline levels have occurred in two cases after patients started taking ipriflavone. Ipriflavone is thought to decrease theophylline metabolism through competitive inhibition of the cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme.

Ipriflavone 600 mg by Vital Nutrients: Common Questions

Does Ipriflavone 600 mg by Vital Nutrients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ipriflavone 600 mg has a known interaction with 391 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ipriflavone 600 mg 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.
Does ipriflavone actually help with osteoporosis?
Yes, ipriflavone is rated likely effective for osteoporosis based on clinical evidence. It's also likely effective for Paget disease. That said, results vary from person to person, and it works best as part of an overall bone health plan.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well, but some experience stomach pain, diarrhea, or dizziness. A longer concern is that taking it for 6 months or more may lower your white blood cell count, so regular checkups are smart if you use it long-term.
Can I take this while pregnant or nursing?
No. There isn't enough safety data to recommend ipriflavone during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or nursing and interested in bone support, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
Why do I need to check my medications before starting?
Ipriflavone slows how your liver clears certain drugs, which can raise their levels in your blood and cause unwanted effects. This affects a wide range of medications, so it's crucial to confirm your prescriptions are safe to mix with it.
What's in the capsule besides ipriflavone?
The capsule contains cellulose, ascorbic acid, rice powder, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica — these are inactive ingredients that help hold the capsule together and preserve the product.
