HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kaprex by Metagenics

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

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 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “A Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (350 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Kaprex contains three active ingredients: rosemary leaf extract, oleanolic acid, and tetrase — delivered in a softgel capsule. The rosemary provides a concentrated plant extract; the other two components round out the formula.

The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients (olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, water, and sodium copper chlorophyllin) that serve as the delivery system and stabilizers.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Rosemary's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: joint comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Fibromyalgia, Joint pain, Joint stiffness, Musculoskeletal pain.
  • The closest evidence on file: Rosemary is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fibromyalgia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rosemary is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Of the three active ingredients, only rosemary has effectiveness data on file: it's rated possibly effective for memory. The evidence isn't established for rosemary's use in age-related cognitive decline, alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for oleanolic acid or tetrase.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary

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.

Rosemary in food amounts is considered safe, but medicinal or large doses — the kind in a concentrated extract like this — warrant caution. The safety data advises against medicinal doses during pregnancy.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on medicinal doses to know either way; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. Adverse effects are uncommon but can include allergic reactions when applied to skin (contact dermatitis) or mouth (lip and gum swelling).

Rarely, occupational exposure to rosemary aerosol has triggered asthma in sensitive individuals. The undiluted essential oil and high doses of the compound camphor (found in rosemary) carry a theoretical risk of seizures.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary

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 — Rosemary.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 372 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 Kaprex, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (moderate risk of bleeding), diabetes medications (moderate risk of low blood sugar), aspirin or salicylate-containing pain relievers (moderate risk of additive salicylate effects), or any medications metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2 (minor risk of reduced drug levels).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Kaprex may be worth considering if you're interested in memory support and you don't take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or aspirin-type pain relievers. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Run your medications through the interaction checker on this page, and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before you begin.

Although rosemary powder decreased blood glucose levels in healthy adults, no change in blood glucose levels was seen in adults with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as aspirin.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, rosemary might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that rosemary induces CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Kaprex by Metagenics: Common Questions

Does Kaprex by Metagenics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kaprex has a known interaction with 372 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kaprex contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 rosemary actually help memory?
Rosemary is rated possibly effective for memory, meaning there's some evidence backing it — but it's not definitive. The evidence for age-related cognitive decline isn't established yet.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against medicinal doses of rosemary during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on medicinal doses to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What are the side effects?
Rosemary is generally well tolerated. Rare side effects include allergic skin reactions, lip or gum swelling if applied to the mouth, and very rarely, occupational asthma from inhaling the aerosol. Undiluted essential oil and high doses carry a theoretical risk of seizures.
Why can't you check all the ingredients?
We don't hold monograph data for oleanolic acid or tetrase, so we can't tell you whether they interact with medications. That doesn't mean they don't — it just means we haven't checked them. Rosemary is the one we can assess for drug interactions.
Is this product safe to take with my medications?
It depends on what you're taking. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications against rosemary's interactions, and then talk with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure it's right for you.
