HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mass-NP by PEScience

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Mass-NP has 4 active ingredients. Hesperidin is a plant compound (flavonoid) sourced from citrus.

Corosolic acid comes from banaba leaf and may help with glucose metabolism. Cinnulin PF and 4-Hydroxyisoleucine are specialized extracts — we don't have detailed data on their individual roles.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and food colorings (FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Red #40) plus titanium dioxide.

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 assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for this product's use is limited. Hesperidin is rated possibly ineffective for weight loss and cholesterol — the research doesn't support it for those goals.

Corosolic acid has insufficient evidence for diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome, meaning we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works. We don't have effectiveness ratings for Cinnulin PF or 4-Hydroxyisoleucine in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hesperidin Banaba

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Hesperidin is generally well tolerated in food amounts and short-term use, though long-term safety data is thin. One case of allergic skin reaction was reported with topical hesperidin, but that's a rarity.

Corosolic acid also appears well tolerated in short studies, but long-term safety isn't established. Reported side effects with one banaba-containing product include dizziness, headache, tremor, weakness, stomach upset, and palpitations — though it's unclear whether banaba alone caused them or the combination with other ingredients.

During pregnancy, the safety data for hesperidin is mixed: some ratings say likely safe, others say possibly safe, but the safety notes advise against use due to insufficient information. Corosolic acid should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Hesperidin, Banaba.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 818 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 Mass-NP, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), blood pressure medications, blood sugar drugs, heart medications such as verapamil, diltiazem, or celiprolol, CNS depressants (sedatives or opioids), or any medication that relies on OATP or P-glycoprotein transporters. Hesperidin and corosolic acid both have documented interactions with these drug types.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Mass-NP is not proven effective for weight loss or cholesterol, and the evidence for blood sugar control is insufficient. If you take blood thinners, blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, or the heart drugs verapamil, diltiazem, or celiprolol, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this — the interactions could affect how those drugs work.

It's generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety is unclear, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Hesperidin7 drug types · 702 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hesperidin may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that hesperetin, a bioflavonoid aglycone derivative of hesperidin, may have antiplatelet activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking hesperidin with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical and animal research shows that hesperidin can decrease blood pressure. However, other clinical research shows that hesperidin does not affect blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Celiprolol (Celicard)

Theoretically, hesperidin may decrease the levels and clinical effects of celiprolol.
Animal research shows that concomitant use of hesperidin may reduce the plasma area under the curve of celiprolol by up to 75%. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use with CNS depressants may cause additive sedative effects.
Animal studies show that hesperidin has sedative effects, due to opioid receptor activity and can increase sedation when used with diazepam. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hesperidin may increase the levels and clinical effects of diltiazem.
Animal research suggests that hesperidin may enhance the bioavailability of diltiazem, increasing the plasma area under the curve of diltiazem by up to 65.3%. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, hesperidin might inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux and potentially increase levels of drugs that are substrates of P-glycoprotein.
In vitro research shows that hesperidin can inhibit P-glycoprotein efflux. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Theoretically, hesperidin might increase the levels and clinical effects of verapamil.
Animal research suggests that hesperidin may enhance the bioavailability of verapamil, increasing the plasma area under the curve of verapamil by 96.8%. This effect has not been reported in humans

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Corosolic Acid3 drug types · 299 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of banaba and hypoglycemic drugs might have additive effects.
Human and animal research suggests that banaba can lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of banaba and antihypertensive drugs might cause additive effects.
Human and animal research suggests that banaba can lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Theoretically, concomitant use of banaba with substrates of OATP might reduce the bioavailability of the OATP substrate.
In vitro research shows that banaba inhibits OATP, particularly OATP2B1. OATPs are expressed in the small intestine and liver and are responsible for the absorption of drugs and other compounds.

Mass-NP by PEScience: Common Questions

Does Mass-NP by PEScience interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mass-NP has a known interaction with 818 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mass-NP contains 4 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.
Will this help me lose weight?
The evidence says no. Hesperidin, one of the main ingredients, is rated possibly ineffective for weight loss based on current research.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No, it's not recommended. The safety data for both hesperidin and corosolic acid advises against use during pregnancy because there isn't enough information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No. There's not enough safety data for corosolic acid while nursing, and hesperidin also lacks sufficient information. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for alternatives.
What are the most common side effects?
The product itself is generally well tolerated. A banaba-containing product once reported dizziness, headache, weakness, tremor, and stomach upset, but it's unclear which ingredient caused those effects.
Does this work for high cholesterol?
No. Hesperidin is rated possibly ineffective for cholesterol based on current evidence.
