HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lutein 6 mg by BIOVEA

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: calendula at 6 mg per capsule. Calendula (also called pot marigold) is a flowering plant used in herbal medicine, traditionally applied to skin and sometimes taken by mouth.

The capsule itself is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, with rice flour and vegetable magnesium stearate as inactive fillers.

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 Calendula's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Eye health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Conjunctivitis, Age-related macular degeneration, Cataracts, Retinal health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Calendula is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Conjunctivitis (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold does not establish calendula's effectiveness for any of its common uses — acne, bacterial vaginosis, burns, COPD, liver disease, or radiation dermatitis all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research backing it up isn't solid enough yet for us to call it effective.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

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.

Calendula is generally well tolerated on the skin but can cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to it or to the ragweed and daisy family (Asteraceae/Compositae). Patch testing before use is recommended if you're in that group.

Taken by mouth, calendula can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people. Safety data for oral use is limited, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor approves — the safety information we hold rates it likely unsafe in pregnancy.

Lactation safety data isn't on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Calendula.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 248 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 you take Biovea's Lutein 6 mg, check your CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, and other medications that slow brain activity) against the interaction tool on this page. Although the theoretical interaction is minor and hasn't shown up in 30 years of human use, your doctor or pharmacist should confirm your specific medications are clear.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Calendula is a plant extract used traditionally for skin and oral health, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. It's generally well tolerated, though allergic reactions can happen, especially in people sensitive to ragweed or similar plants.

If you take CNS depressants or are pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, calendula might have additive effects when used with CNS depressants, although this appears to be unlikely.
Although some animal research has suggested that a saponoside constituent in calendula may have sedative effects, calendula has been used for over 30 years without reports of sedation in humans.

Lutein 6 mg by BIOVEA: Common Questions

Does Lutein 6 mg by BIOVEA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lutein 6 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lutein 6 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.
Is calendula the same as lutein?
No — this product is labeled Lutein 6 mg, but the active ingredient is calendula (pot marigold), not the lutein found in leafy greens. You'll want to confirm with the manufacturer or seller whether the label is accurate to what's inside.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data we hold rates calendula likely unsafe to take by mouth during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they can give you personalized advice based on your pregnancy and health.
What should I watch for if I'm allergic to ragweed or daisies?
Calendula belongs to the same plant family (Asteraceae), so people sensitive to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, or marigolds may react to it. Allergic reactions can range from itching and redness to hives. A patch test on a small area of skin before full use is a smart precaution if you're in that group.
What does calendula actually do?
Calendula is traditionally used for skin health and has been used orally in herbal medicine, but we don't have reliable evidence that it works for acne, burns, wound healing, or any other specific condition. If you're considering it for a particular reason, your doctor can discuss whether the traditional use matches what you're hoping to treat.
Are there any side effects?
Allergic reactions are the main concern — orally, hives or sensitivity reactions; on the skin, redness, itching, burning, or scaling can happen, especially in people allergic to ragweed or similar plants. In one case, a low dose caused inflammation at a wound site, though the specific role of calendula wasn't clear.
