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.

Nomorbidity contains 4 active ingredients. KSM-66 is a standardized extract of ashwagandha, an herb traditionally used to support sleep and stress.

Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent plant extract studied for weight management. Garcitrin is an ingredient we have no data on.

Thinogen is an extract from laminaria (kelp), a seaweed high in iodine and potassium. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients: hypromellose (a capsule binder), magnesium stearate (a lubricant), and silicon dioxide (an anti-caking agent).

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: Appetite control, anxiety and stress management.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Stress, Obesity, Fatigue, Emotional eating — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Ashwagandha is rated "Possibly Effective" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Ashwagandha is rated "Possibly Effective" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Stress.
  • Also on file: Caralluma is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Obesity.

For ashwagandha, the evidence supports possibly effective ratings for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder. The data on its effectiveness for bipolar disorder is too thin to rate.

For caralluma fimbriata, research suggests it's possibly ineffective for weight loss. Evidence for its use in generalized anxiety disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome is insufficient to rate.

For laminaria, we have no established effectiveness data in our records for any condition the product might target.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ashwagandha Caralluma Laminaria

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Ashwagandha is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — diarrhea, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting — but these don't occur at typical doses.

Rare serious events include liver damage and a reversible brain condition called RCVS with symptoms like intracranial bleeding. Drowsiness can occur.

Caralluma is generally tolerated, but long-term safety isn't established. Early side effects — abdominal bloating, constipation, gas, stomach inflammation — typically fade within two weeks.

One case noted a temporary blood pressure rise, which resolved without stopping the product. Laminaria is well tolerated as food, but supplements deliver variable, sometimes very high amounts of iodine that can affect thyroid function.

It also concentrates arsenic from seawater; prolonged use has caused poisoning symptoms including headache, weakness, rash, and nail damage. Neither ashwagandha nor caralluma should be used in pregnancy due to miscarriage risk or insufficient safety data; laminaria should be avoided because excess iodine can harm the fetal thyroid.

All three should be avoided while breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Laminaria, Ashwagandha.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 1,385 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 Nomorbidity, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on any liver-affecting medications, CNS depressants or benzodiazepines (anxiety/sleep drugs), blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, thyroid hormones, immunosuppressants, potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, antithyroid drugs, amiodarone, or digoxin. These are the medication types where documented interactions exist and effects could range from reduced effectiveness to dangerously low blood pressure or blood sugar.

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.

This product may help with sleep and anxiety if ashwagandha works for you, but it carries real medication risks — especially with heart drugs, blood pressure meds, thyroid medications, and anything that affects your liver or potassium. If you take any prescription drugs, check them against our interaction tool before you start.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor first, particularly if you're on thyroid medication, heart medications, or immunosuppressants.

KSM-6610 drug types · 1,372 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
There is preliminary clinical evidence suggesting that ashwagandha might lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research suggests that ashwagandha might lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Benzodiazepines

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of benzodiazepines.
There is preliminary evidence that ashwagandha might have an additive effect with diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Klonopin). This may also occur with other benzodiazepines.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Ashwagandha seems to have sedative effects. Theoretically, this may potentiate the effects of barbiturates, other sedatives, and anxiolytics.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
Ashwagandha has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, autoimmune hepatitis, the need for liver transplantation, and death due to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might decrease the effects of immunosuppressants.
Ashwagandha has demonstrated immunostimulant effects in humans. Animal research has shown that ashwagandha can attenuate the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Ashwagandha might increase the effects and adverse effects of thyroid hormone.
Concomitant use of ashwagandha with thyroid hormones may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects. Preliminary clinical research and animal studies suggest that ashwagandha boosts thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. In one clinical study, ashwagandha increased triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels by 41.5% and 19.6%, respectively, and reduced serum TSH levels by 17.4% from baseline in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Some animal studies have reported that ashwagandha can enhance serotonergic transmission by altering certain serotonin (5-HT) receptors. However, there is no evidence to suggest that ashwagandha increases the risk of serotonin-related effects, and there have been no published case reports of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Nevertheless, due to the lack of extensive studies on the matter and the fact that ashwagandha appears to affect serotonergic pathways, it would be prudent to exercise caution when combining it with drugs that affect serotonin.

Thinogen6 drug types · 69 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, laminaria might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with ACEIs.
Laminaria contains potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, combining laminaria with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use with laminaria supplements, some of which may contain as much as 1000 mcg iodine, might increase the risk of adverse effects from iodine, including altered thyroid function.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antithyroid Drugs

Due to its iodine content, laminaria might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Some laminaria supplements contain up to 1000 mcg of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking laminaria could theoretically alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, laminaria might increase the risk of hyperkalemia, which could increase the effects and adverse effects of digoxin.
Laminaria contains potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, laminaria might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Laminaria contains potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Due to its iodine content, laminaria might alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Some laminaria supplements contain up to 1000 mcg of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking laminaria could theoretically alter the effects of thyroid hormone.

Nomorbidity by Ambrosia Collective: Common Questions

Does Nomorbidity by Ambrosia Collective interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nomorbidity has a known interaction with 1,384 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nomorbidity 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.
Does ashwagandha in this product actually help with sleep and anxiety?
The evidence supports a possibly effective rating for ashwagandha with insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder — meaning some people do see benefit, but results aren't guaranteed. Individual response varies. If it's going to help you, you'd typically notice within a few weeks.
What are the most common side effects I might experience?
From ashwagandha, gastrointestinal upset is most likely — diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach — though these don't usually happen at standard doses. From caralluma, bloating, constipation, and gas may occur in the first two weeks but typically settle down. Drowsiness can happen with ashwagandha.
Can I take this if I'm trying to get pregnant or am pregnant?
No. Ashwagandha is traditionally thought to risk miscarriage and should be avoided during pregnancy. Caralluma and laminaria also lack enough safety information, so they're best avoided too. Talk to your doctor if you're planning pregnancy or are pregnant.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
The safety data aren't there for any of the three checked ingredients — ashwagandha, caralluma, and laminaria — so it's best to avoid this product while breastfeeding. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for alternatives that are safer during nursing.
I take thyroid medication — is this product safe for me?
No. Both ashwagandha and laminaria interact with thyroid hormones and can alter their effects. Laminaria's high iodine content is especially risky if you're managing thyroid disease. Don't take this without talking to your prescriber first.
What is laminaria and why is it in a supplement for sleep and anxiety?
Laminaria is a type of kelp (seaweed) included for its potassium and iodine content. In this formula, it likely serves a supporting role, though the evidence for its effectiveness in sleep or anxiety is insufficient to rate. Be aware that laminaria concentrates iodine variably and can also concentrate arsenic from seawater.
