HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phytoceramide Complex 700 mg by NusaPure

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Phytoceramides” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.
  • “Phytoceramide Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (700 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

NusaPure's Phytoceramide Complex contains six active ingredients: apple, fiber, phytoceramides (a plant-derived ceramide blend), wheat germ powder, oats (Avena sativa), and konjac extract. The product also includes inactive ingredients—cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour—which are fillers and binders that help form the capsule.

Phytoceramides are the main active component, compounds extracted from plants that mimic the skin's natural ceramides. The apple and oats provide additional phytonutrients, while fiber and konjac extract add dietary fiber to the formula.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Likely Effective" (Oats) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dyslipidemia — rated "Likely Effective" (Oats) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Possibly Effective" (Glucomannan) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Glucomannan) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hyperlipidemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Glucomannan) (Natural Medicines).

Evidence for apple's effectiveness against Alzheimer's disease, cancer, dental plaque, diabetes, and diarrhea is insufficient to rate in our data. Oats, however, are likely effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and heart disease prevention.

The evidence doesn't establish whether the phytoceramide blend itself works for any particular condition in our data—that would depend on clinical trials specific to this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Glucomannan

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Apple as a food is generally well tolerated, though it may cause bloating and flatulence in some people. Rare but serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported.

Apple seeds contain cyanide; eating large amounts of seeds could cause poisoning. If you're allergic to other fruits in the same family—apricot, almond, plum, peach, pear, or strawberry—you may also be allergic to apple.

Oats are well tolerated and cause similar common side effects: bloating, flatulence, and abdominal distention, especially when you first increase fiber intake. These usually improve with continued use.

If you have difficulty swallowing or a condition that slows your gut, oat bran may rarely cause blockages. For pregnancy, apple as food is considered safe, but concentrated extracts lack safety data.

Oats as food are likely safe in pregnancy; oat supplements are less studied. Breastfeeding safety data is similarly limited for concentrated forms.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.

Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Glucomannan, Apple, Oats, Wheatgrass.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,066 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.

Check before using this product if you take blood pressure drugs, allergy medications (especially fexofenadine/Allegra), heart medications (especially atenolol/Tenormin or aliskiren/Tekturna), diabetes medications, insulin, or lithium. Apple can cut blood levels of some of these drugs by up to 80%, and both apple and oats may affect blood sugar and blood pressure control.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is primarily a phytoceramide supplement that also contains apple and oats. If you take blood pressure medications, allergy drugs, diabetes medications, insulin, or lithium, you need to check your exact medications before using this product—the apple and oats can significantly affect how they work.

Even if you don't take those drugs, talk with your pharmacist, especially if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Oral Drugs

Theoretically, glucomannan may decrease absorption of drugs taken orally.
Due to its viscosity and bulking effects, there is concern that glucomannan can decrease the absorption of oral drugs. A small clinical study in healthy volunteers shows that taking glyburide 2.5 mg plus glucomannan 3.9 grams with breakfast reduces plasma levels of glyburide when compared with breakfast and glyburide alone. In addition, animal research demonstrates this effect on amoxicillin, but shows increased absorption of metronidazole. This mouse model also demonstrates that metronidazole elimination is prolonged, but amoxicillin elimination is enhanced by 38%; glucomannan may also affect the distribution of some drugs. To avoid changes in absorption, take glucomannan 30-60 minutes after taking oral drugs.

Phytoceramide Complex 700 mg by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Phytoceramide Complex 700 mg by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Phytoceramide Complex 700 mg has a known interaction with 2,065 medications, including 47 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Phytoceramide Complex 700 mg 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.
Will this affect my blood pressure medication?
Possibly. Apple can interfere with how blood pressure drugs work, and it may also raise your blood pressure on its own in some cases. Oats may lower blood pressure too, adding another variable. Don't start this without checking with your pharmacist—they'll know your specific medication and can advise whether it's safe for you.
Can I take this if I have diabetes or take insulin?
Not without talking to your pharmacist first. Both apple and oats can lower blood sugar, and oats may actually reduce how much insulin your body needs. Combined with your diabetes medication or insulin, there's a real risk of low blood sugar. This is one to clear before starting.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Apple and oats as foods are considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but this product is a concentrated supplement and safety data is limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it.
What does this product actually do?
Phytoceramides are plant compounds that mimic skin ceramides. Oats are likely effective for high cholesterol and heart health. However, the evidence supporting apple for Alzheimer's, cancer, dental plaque, diabetes, or diarrhea is insufficient to rate in our data—and we don't have effectiveness data specific to this product blend.
What are the side effects?
The most common are bloating, flatulence, and abdominal distention—usually from the fiber and oats content. These often improve with continued use. Rare allergic reactions to apple, including severe ones, have been reported. If you're allergic to stone fruits or almonds, you may be allergic to apple too.
Does this have fillers?
Yes. The inactive ingredients are cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour—these are standard binders and flow agents in capsules.
