HelloPharmacist Scorecard of N.O. Support by GNC Mega Men
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
Full disclosure
N.O. Support is a single-ingredient capsule containing MegaNatural-BP, a grape seed extract.
The other ingredients are inactive — they're just the capsule and fillers to hold everything together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence supports grape seed extract for chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs and veins) — it's rated possibly effective for that. For other uses like chemotherapy-related nausea, hay fever, and weight loss, the data we hold shows it's possibly ineffective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Grape seed extract is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects in studies are abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, heartburn, headache, joint pain, and nausea.
Rarely, allergic reactions have been reported. During pregnancy, grapes as food are fine, but concentrated supplements are not well studied and should be avoided.
While breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on concentrated grape supplements — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs you take — grape seed extract may raise bleeding risk. Also watch for CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 substrates, drugs metabolized through CYP3A4, cyclosporine, midazolam, and phenacetin.
Use the medication checker below to see if any of your prescriptions are affected.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood thinners, heart medications, sedatives, or immunosuppressants, talk with your pharmacist before using this product. Even if you don't, check your exact medications with the tool on this page.
It's well tolerated for most people, but it may affect how some drugs work.

N.O. Support by GNC Mega Men Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
GNC Mega Men N.O.
Support contains MegaNatural-BP, a grape seed extract that interacts with several medication types. The most serious concern is anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners and clot-prevention medications) — grape extracts may thin the blood further and raise your bleeding risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Grape seed extract can also affect how your body metabolizes other medications. It may increase levels of drugs that go through CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 pathways, and the evidence is mixed for CYP3A4 substrates — some research suggests it might increase their levels, while other research hints it could decrease them.
A small study showed that grape juice can reduce how well your body absorbs cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant), and long-term use of grape seed extract might decrease the effectiveness of midazolam (a sedative). There's also one small study showing grape juice may reduce phenacetin levels.
These interactions are mostly from lab or animal research and haven't been widely reported in people — but that doesn't mean they won't happen. Altogether, these interactions span 900 individual medications.

For each ingredient in N.O. Support 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.
MegaNatural -BP
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape extracts might decrease platelet aggregation.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water. Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates
Theoretically, grape seed extract might increase the levels of CYP2E1 substrates.
In vitro and animal research suggests that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, long-term intake of grape seed extract might decrease the effects of midazolam.
Animal research shows that subchronic ingestions of grape seed extract can increase the elimination of intravenous midazolam by increasing hepatic CYP3A4 activity. Single doses of grape seed extract do not appear to affect midazolam elimination.
Phenacetin
Grape juice might decrease phenacetin absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2).
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism. The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.
