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 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 has 5 active ingredients: folate, beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and other plant sterols. Beta-sitosterol and its related compounds are plant-derived sterols that support cholesterol metabolism and may help with benign prostate enlargement (BPH).

The product also contains inactive ingredients such as microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and silica, which act as binders and flow agents in the tablet.

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: maintain healthy blood levels and cardiovascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Coronary heart disease (CHD), Familial hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Dyslipidemia, Atherosclerosis.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Likely Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beta-sitosterol is rated "Possibly Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD), Familial hypercholesterolemia.

Beta-sitosterol in this product is likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that causes urinary symptoms. It is possibly effective for familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition that raises cholesterol) and coronary heart disease (CHD).

We do not have effectiveness data on file for the other active ingredients in the product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Beta-sitosterol

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.

Beta-sitosterol is generally well tolerated when taken short-term by most adults. The most common side effects are constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, and nausea.

There are isolated reports of reduced appetite and one case of acute pancreatitis associated with beta-sitosterol use, though symptoms resolved when the user stopped taking it. Beta-sitosterol may worsen acne in some people.

Because there is not enough safety data, it is best to avoid this product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about personalized advice.

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 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Black Psyllium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,026 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.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. However, we could not check folate, campesterol, stigmasterol, or other plant sterols.

If you take any medication — especially those affecting cholesterol, fat absorption, or blood clotting — confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

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.

Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 is a reasonable choice if you're looking to support prostate health or cholesterol levels, since beta-sitosterol is likely effective for BPH. Expect mild digestive side effects like gas or loose stools in some cases.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or take blood thinners or cholesterol drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — we cannot fully rule out interactions with ingredients we could not assess.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Dietary Fiber7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Ethinyl Estradiol

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.

Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 by Metagenics: Common Questions

Does Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 by Metagenics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 has a known interaction with 2,025 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Meta-Sitosterol 2.0 contains 6 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 beta-sitosterol really help with an enlarged prostate?
Yes — beta-sitosterol in this product is likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the non-cancerous prostate enlargement that causes trouble urinating. It's one of the more solid uses for plant sterols.
Will this help my cholesterol?
Beta-sitosterol is possibly effective for familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited high-cholesterol condition) and possibly effective for coronary heart disease. If your cholesterol is just mildly high, the evidence is weaker — check with your doctor about whether this fits your situation.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate it well, but some experience constipation, diarrhea, gas, indigestion, nausea, or reduced appetite. There's also a small chance it could worsen acne. Start with the dose on the bottle and dial back if your digestion gets upset.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way, so it's best to avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
What's folate doing in here?
Folate supports general cell health and energy metabolism. It's a B vitamin, and the form in this product is a synthetic, active version called L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate that your body can use right away.
Are the other plant sterols (campesterol, stigmasterol) as well-studied as beta-sitosterol?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for those ingredients specifically. Beta-sitosterol is the most researched of the plant sterols in prostate and cholesterol support, which is likely why it's highlighted.
