HelloPharmacist Scorecard of OmniZen 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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

OmniZen contains 2 active ingredients: L-theanine, an amino acid that may support brain function and relaxation, and Cyracos (a lemon balm extract), used traditionally for stress and mood support. The capsules also include inactive ingredients — hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and processing aids.

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: calm, relaxation and stress relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Stress, Insomnia, nervousness, restlessness.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Possibly Effective" for Stress (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety, Insomnia.
  • Also on file: Theanine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia, Stress.

For L-theanine, the evidence shows it is possibly effective for cognitive function; however, the data is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or cancer. Lemon balm (Cyracos) is possibly effective for cold sores, stress, and depression based on the studies we hold.

Neither ingredient has strong evidence for all the uses people might expect from this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Theanine Lemon Balm

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.

L-theanine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults for short-term use, though long-term safety hasn't been well studied. Reported side effects include headaches, drowsiness, increased sleep duration, and increased dream activity.

For lemon balm, it's generally well tolerated short-term, but high doses and long-term safety are not well established. Dizziness and sedation have been reported orally, though they don't appear more frequent than placebo; topical use has caused mild irritation in rare cases.

Regarding pregnancy: there isn't enough safety data for L-theanine, so it's best to avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor advises otherwise. For lemon balm, safety data in pregnancy is also limited — avoid it unless your doctor says it's okay — and use caution while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether either ingredient 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 — Lemon Balm, Theanine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 581 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 OmniZen, double-check it with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on thyroid hormone replacement therapy (lemon balm may interfere) or blood pressure medications (L-theanine may lower blood pressure further). Also flag it if you take sedatives, sleep aids, opioids, or serotonergic antidepressants, since both ingredients could potentially add to their effects.

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.

OmniZen may appeal to those looking to support stress and cognitive function, but it's not for everyone. If you take blood pressure medications, thyroid replacements, sedatives, or antidepressants, you need to clear this product with your doctor or pharmacist first.

It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical guidance. Have a conversation with your own healthcare provider before you start.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

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

L-Theanine3 drug types · 565 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theanine might lower blood pressure, potentiating the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that theanine can lower blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive animals. Theoretically, concomitant use of theanine and antihypertensive drugs might potentiate the antihypertensive activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, theanine might have additive sedative effects when used in conjunction with CNS depressants. However, it is unclear if this concern is clinically relevant.
Theoretically, theanine may compete with glutamate and/or increase plasma gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels, which could cause CNS depression. In one clinical study, some subjects taking oral theanine reported drowsiness.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Clinical studies regarding the effects of L-theanine on serotonin levels are conflicting. Some studies suggest it can increase serotonin levels in the brain while others report that it may decrease them. Nevertheless, there have been no reports of l-theanine being a causative agent in serotonergic-related side effects or serotonin syndrome.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence C

Cyracos2 drug types · 264 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of lemon balm might have additive effects with CNS depressant drugs.
Lemon balm seems to have CNS depressant activity in animals and in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, lemon balm might interfere with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
In vitro, constituents of lemon balm extract bind to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), preventing TSH receptor-binding and leading to the inhibition of TSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. In animals, lemon balm extract has been shown to decrease levels of circulating TSH and inhibit thyroid secretion.

OmniZen by PEScience: Common Questions

Does OmniZen by PEScience interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, OmniZen has a known interaction with 581 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
OmniZen contains 2 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.
What is L-theanine, and what does it do?
L-theanine is an amino acid that may support cognitive function. It's possibly effective for that purpose based on available research, though evidence for other uses like anxiety or age-related cognitive decline is too limited to rate.
What's lemon balm (Cyracos) in here for?
Lemon balm is included for stress, mood, and cold sore support. The evidence shows it's possibly effective for those three uses based on the studies we have.
Is OmniZen safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for either L-theanine or lemon balm during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid this product unless your doctor says otherwise. Breastfeeding also carries caution — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
What side effects might I experience?
L-theanine may cause headaches, drowsiness, increased sleep time, or vivid dreams. Lemon balm might cause dizziness or sedation, though these don't appear to happen more often than with placebo. Both are generally well tolerated short-term.
How long is it safe to take OmniZen?
Both ingredients are generally well tolerated for short-term use in healthy adults, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor about how long you should take it.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
L-theanine may lower blood pressure further, intensifying your medication's effect — a Moderate concern. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
