HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Power4 by GT Genesis Today

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 12 active ingredients.
  • “Genesis Today's Organic Superfruit Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (30 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

Organic Power4 contains 12 ingredients, most of which are plant-based. The active ingredients we have data for include omega fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, and omega-9), potassium, sodium, and fruit powders and purees: noni, mangosteen, acai, goji, and raspberry.

There are no inactive fillers or binders listed.

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: Four superfruits for healthy daily wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, General wellness — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha) is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hyperlipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Omega-6 Fatty Acids is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hyperlipidemia.
  • Also on file: Omega-6 Fatty Acids is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension.

The evidence on these ingredients is sparse. Sodium is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for protecting the kidneys from amphotericin B damage, though it's not a primary treatment.

Omega-6 fatty acids show possibly ineffective ratings for high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, and child development. Mangosteen is possibly effective for gum disease (periodontitis) but insufficient evidence supports its use for hair loss, Alzheimer's disease, or eczema.

Noni and acai have insufficient evidence for the conditions we checked — asthma, heart disease, athletic performance, burns, cancer, and others. The effectiveness of potassium, omega-3, omega-9, raspberry, and goji in this product is not established in our data.

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 6 of the 7 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 7 of 7.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 7 of 7.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium is generally well tolerated at normal dietary amounts, but too much is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain. Serious side effects from excess sodium are rare but include worsening heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.

Potassium from food is safe, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels, especially in people with kidney disease; common mild side effects are stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, and gas. Noni is generally tolerated in moderate amounts but carries a rare risk of liver injury; nausea and abdominal discomfort are the most common complaints.

Mangosteen at studied doses (up to 560 mg daily) caused mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, constipation, nausea, or cough in small numbers of trial participants, though whether these were actually due to mangosteen is unclear. Omega-6 from food is fine, but high intakes relative to omega-3 may increase cardiovascular risk.

We could not find safety data for omega-3, omega-9, omega-7, goji, or raspberry in this product.

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?
  • 6 of the 7 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Noni, Potassium, Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha), Mangosteen, Acai, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 752 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 Organic Power4, double-check with your pharmacist if you use blood pressure medications, potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills that keep potassium), ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, blood thinners like warfarin, seizure medications like phenytoin, corticosteroids, lithium, acid reflux medications like ranitidine, diabetes drugs, or any liver-damaging medications.

organic Noni fruit powder8 drug types · 542 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, combining noni and ACE inhibitors might increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium, about 6 mEq/100 mL juice. This may increase the risk for hyperkalemia when used in conjunction with ACE inhibitors, which can also increase potassium levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Theoretically, combining noni and ARBs might increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium, about 6 mEq/100 mL juice. This may increase the risk for hyperkalemia when used in conjunction with ARBs, which can also increase potassium levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, noni may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with antihypertensive drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests that drinking noni juice can reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking noni with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
There is concern that noni might cause hepatotoxicity in some patients. Advise patients against combining noni with potentially hepatotoxic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, taking noni fruit juice concomitantly with phenytoin may lower phenytoin levels and increase the risk of seizures.
In one case report, an adult taking phenytoin for partial seizures experienced low serum phenytoin levels while taking noni juice 90-200 mL daily. Serum phenytoin levels increased after decreasing noni juice consumption; similarly, serum phenytoin levels decreased after increasing noni juice consumption. Some researchers believe noni juice may induce cytochrome P450 2C9 enzymes, which would decrease phenytoin levels, but this has not been well studied. Patients may need additional monitoring when starting or stopping noni juice supplementation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, combing noni and a potassium-sparing diuretic might increase the risk of hyperkalemia.
Noni juice contains significant amounts of potassium, about 6 mEq/100 mL juice. This may increase the risk for hyperkalemia when used in conjunction with potassium-sparing diuretics, which can also increase potassium levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, taking noni juice concomitantly with warfarin might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin.
In one case, a 41-year-old patient stabilized on warfarin had a decreased international normalized ratio (INR) following consumption of a specific commercial noni juice product (Noni juice 4 Everything). While the patient was still taking noni juice, an increase in warfarin dose did not produce an increase in INR. However, it should be noted that this particular product contained extracts and derivatives from more than 115 components, many of which contained vitamin K. Furthermore, vitamin K was listed as a separate ingredient of the product, suggesting that the product was possibly fortified with vitamin K. It has not been verified that noni fruit alone contains a significant amount of vitamin K or interacts with warfarin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ranitidine (Zantac)

Taking noni fruit with ranitidine might increase the levels and clinical effects of ranitidine.
Clinical evidence shows that taking an aqueous extract of noni fruit 30 minutes prior to taking a single oral dose of ranitidine can increase the rate of absorption and plasma concentration of ranitidine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Omega-3 Fatty Acids3 drug types · 375 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, DHA may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Although some clinical evidence suggests that DHA might reduce collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation and thromboxane release, most clinical evidence suggests that DHA alone does not affect blood clotting. However, theoretically, when given in combination with EPA as fish oil, concomitant use with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (including aspirin) might increase risk of bleeding.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking DHA with antidiabetes drugs might reduce the effects of these medications.
In people with type 2 diabetes, including those taking oral hypoglycemic medications, DHA seems to increase fasting blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking DHA with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Fish oils containing DHA can lower blood pressure and might have additive effects in patients treated with antihypertensives; use with caution.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C

organic Mangosteen2 drug types · 125 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of mangosteen with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro and animal research shows that gamma-mangostin, a constituent of mangosteen, is a potent and competitive antagonist of the serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor. Antagonism of the 5-HT2A receptor is believed to reduce platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Donepezil (Aricept)

Theoretically, concomitant use of mangosteen with donepezil might increase the effects of donepezil.
Animal research shows that concomitant use of an aqueous extract of mangosteen pericarp with donepezil increases brain concentrations of donepezil at 4 hours by 64% without associated effects on systemic exposure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

organic Acai1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking acai with antidiabetes drugs might interfere with glycemic control.
Preliminary clinical research in healthy adults has shown that taking acai may increase or decrease levels of fasting blood glucose.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Organic Power4 by GT Genesis Today: Common Questions

Does Organic Power4 by GT Genesis Today interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Power4 has a known interaction with 751 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Power4 contains 13 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.
Is it safe to take Organic Power4 during pregnancy?
No. Noni, which is in this product, has traditionally been used to cause abortion and should not be used during pregnancy. Talk to your obstetrician before considering any supplements during pregnancy.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on noni or mangosteen during breastfeeding to say it's safe. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the most common side effects?
The ingredients most likely to cause side effects are potassium (abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea) and noni (nausea, abdominal discomfort). At normal doses, these are mild, but stop using and contact us if you notice unusual symptoms.
Does this product actually work for anything?
Sodium in this formula is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for kidney protection during amphotericin B use. Mangosteen is possibly effective for gum disease. For most other uses, the evidence is too weak to say the product works.
Why is there so much sodium and potassium in a supplement?
Sodium and potassium are minerals your body needs, but this product's amounts can interact with several medications and increase health risks if you're not careful. Check with your doctor about whether the levels are right for you.
