HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ketozyme by Dr. Mercola

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 3 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Lipase Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Ketozyme contains 7 active ingredients. Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acid to aid digestion.

Dandelion root extract is an herbal ingredient used traditionally for digestive and liver support. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a compound involved in cellular energy; the research on it centers on its prescription injectable form for heart rhythm and diagnostic testing.

Three lipase enzymes (Lipase I, II, and III) are digestive enzymes that break down fats. Globe artichoke leaf extract is an herbal ingredient studied for its effects on cholesterol and digestion.

The product also contains inactive ingredients: organic rice, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (a capsule material), rice bran extract, medium chain triglycerides, 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive support for fat digestion.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Gallbladder disease, Biliary disorders, Pancreatic insufficiency, Fat malabsorption — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Artichoke is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia.
  • Also on file: Betaine Hydrochloride is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Gallbladder disease.

The evidence for most ingredients in Ketozyme is limited. Betaine hydrochloride, dandelion root, and the three lipase enzymes all lack sufficient reliable evidence to support their use for conditions like dyspepsia (indigestion), inflammatory bowel disease, or food allergies.

Artichoke leaf extract is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and indigestion; small clinical studies suggest it may modestly lower cholesterol and fasting blood sugar when taken for 8–12 weeks. Adenosine triphosphate in oral supplement form is not well studied — the research on it focuses on its prescription injectable form, which is effective for certain heart rhythm problems and heart imaging tests, but the oral supplement version has not been thoroughly evaluated.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Betaine Hydrochloride Dandelion Adenosine Lipase Artichoke

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of these ingredients are generally well tolerated when used as foods or short-term supplements. Betaine hydrochloride may irritate the stomach and should be avoided if you have ulcers, gastritis, or true acid reflux — it can cause heartburn.

Dandelion is well tolerated orally but may cause diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach upset; in rare cases, allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have occurred, especially in people sensitive to plants in the ragweed family (Asteraceae). Artichoke likewise is well tolerated but can cause diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain; people sensitive to ragweed or related plants may have allergic reactions.

Lipase enzymes have no reported adverse effects in adults, though safety data is limited. Adenosine's safety as an oral supplement is not well established — the injectable prescription form carries significant cardiovascular risks, but oral safety data are sparse.

During pregnancy, betaine hydrochloride, dandelion, and artichoke all have insufficient safety data — the product labeling advises against them in pregnancy. Safety data during breastfeeding are similarly insufficient for all ingredients.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Betaine Hydrochloride, Dandelion, Artichoke, Adenosine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 717 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 Ketozyme, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of these: dipyridamole or other heart medications; carbamazepine (Tegretol) or other anti-seizure drugs; blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; blood pressure medications; potassium-sparing diuretics; lithium; fluoroquinolone antibiotics; stomach acid reducers (H2-blockers, PPIs, antacids); or medications metabolized by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2B6. Also avoid taking caffeine, theophylline, or aminophylline within 24 hours of this product if you take adenosine-based medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Ketozyme is a multi-ingredient digestive formula whose individual components lack strong evidence for most digestive or health claims. The main concern is its potential to interact with several medication types — particularly heart, blood sugar, blood pressure, and antibiotic medications.

If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medications, check your exact drugs against the interaction tool on this page before starting. Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist to decide whether this product is right for you and whether any dose adjustments are needed.

Dandelion root extract7 drug types · 457 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.

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

Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Dandelion root extract full monograph & interactions

Globe Artichoke Leaf Extract4 drug types · 363 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, artichoke leaf extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
A meta-analysis of small clinical studies shows that taking artichoke leaf extract for 8-12 weeks can modestly reduce fasting plasma glucose when compared with placebo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, artichoke leaf extract may increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
A meta-analysis of small clinical studies in patients with hypertension shows that taking artichoke can reduce systolic blood pressure by around 3 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by around 2 mmHg when compared with placebo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Theoretically, artichoke might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that artichoke leaf extract inhibits CYP2B6 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, artichoke might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro research shows that artichoke leaf extract inhibits CYP2C19 activity. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Globe Artichoke Leaf Extract full monograph & interactions

Adenosine Triphosphate3 drug types · 47 drugs

Dipyridamole (Persantine)

Dipyridamole can increase the therapeutic and toxic effects of adenosine.
Dipyridamole decreases the metabolism of adenosine. Intravenous infusion of adenosine in patients who are taking dipyridamole can cause dizziness, bradycardia, and syncope. Dipyridamole should be discontinued for several days prior to a cardiac stress test using adenosine.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Carbamazepine might increase the risk of heart block when used concomitantly with adenosine.
Carbamazepine and adenosine can both cause heart block. Giving them concurrently might produce an additive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Methylxanthines

Methylxanthines are competitive antagonists of adenosine and can block its pharmacologic effects.
The methylxanthines, aminophylline, caffeine, and theophylline, can block the effects of adenosine by acting as competitive antagonists at adenosine cell surface receptors. It is recommended that methylxanthines be avoided for 24 hours prior to cardiac stress tests.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Adenosine Triphosphate full monograph & interactions

Betaine Hydrochloride3 drug types · 36 drugs

Antacids

Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity and could decrease the effects of antacids.
In human research, betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity. Antacids are taken to decrease stomach acidity. Theoretically, taking betaine hydrochloride along with antacids might decrease the effects of the antacids.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
H2-Blockers

Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity and could decrease the effects of H2-blockers.
In human research, betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity. H2-blockers are used to decrease stomach acidity. Theoretically, taking betaine hydrochloride along with H2-blockers might decrease the effects of H2-blockers.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)

Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity and could decrease the effects of PPIs.
In human research, betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity. PPIs are used to decrease stomach acidity. Theoretically, taking betaine hydrochloride along with PPIs might decrease the effects of PPIs

Ketozyme by Dr. Mercola: Common Questions

Does Ketozyme by Dr. Mercola interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ketozyme has a known interaction with 717 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ketozyme contains 5 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.
Is Ketozyme safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The product contains several ingredients — betaine hydrochloride, dandelion, and artichoke — that lack sufficient safety data in pregnancy, and the labeling advises against them during pregnancy. Safety while breastfeeding is also not well established for most ingredients. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking Ketozyme if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
What does betaine hydrochloride do?
Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acid and is included to aid digestion. However, it can irritate the stomach and isn't safe for people with ulcers, gastritis, or true acid reflux — it may cause heartburn or upset stomach.
Can this product actually help with digestion or cholesterol?
The evidence is mixed. Artichoke leaf extract is possibly effective for high cholesterol and indigestion based on small studies. The other ingredients — betaine, dandelion, lipase, and adenosine — lack sufficient reliable evidence to support their use for these purposes in supplement form.
Are there any fillers or unnecessary ingredients in Ketozyme?
The product contains inactive ingredients including rice, rice bran extract, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (a capsule material), medium chain triglycerides, and silicon dioxide. These are typical excipients used in supplement capsules.
Who should avoid Ketozyme?
People with stomach ulcers, gastritis, or true acid reflux should avoid betaine hydrochloride. Anyone taking heart medications, diabetes drugs, blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or certain antibiotics should check their specific medications with your doctor or pharmacist first. People allergic to ragweed or related plants may react to dandelion or artichoke.
What are the lipase enzymes for?
The three lipase enzymes break down dietary fats. However, there's insufficient reliable evidence to show they treat digestive conditions or inflammatory bowel disease in supplement form. No adverse effects have been reported in adults.
