HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Psor-Rbs by Loomis Enzymes
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
Partial disclosure
Psor-Rbs has 4 active ingredients: lipase, cellulase, lecithin, and borage oil powder. Lipase and cellulase are digestive enzymes that break down fats and plant fibers in food.
Lecithin is a naturally occurring fat-like substance often used to support digestion and nutrient absorption. Borage oil is a plant extract rich in compounds that some people use for inflammatory and immune support.
The capsule also contains microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose, water, and phytase as inactive ingredients — these are binders and fillers that help form and stabilize the capsule.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for these ingredients is mixed and incomplete. Lipase and cellulase have insufficient reliable evidence to rate them for digestive complaints like indigestion or inflammatory bowel disease — we just don't have enough solid trial data yet.
Lecithin is rated likely ineffective for age-related memory loss, and insufficient evidence for anxiety and other conditions. Borage oil is rated possibly ineffective for eczema.
Overall, the data we hold does not establish strong effectiveness for the conditions people typically use digestive enzyme blends to address.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lipase is generally well tolerated but should only be used under medical guidance if you have serious digestive conditions. There isn't much safety data on lipase during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk to your doctor first.
Lecithin is generally considered safe and likely safe in pregnancy; common side effects are mild (abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, fullness, nausea), but it can trigger allergic skin reactions in people with egg or soy allergies. Borage oil is generally well tolerated, though it may cause bloating, belching, diarrhea, and soft stools.
Borage is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because of concerns about liver-toxic alkaloids and effects on the uterus. During breastfeeding, safety data is limited and PA contamination is a worry, so it's best avoided.
Make sure any borage ingredient is certified free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA).
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Psor-Rbs, check if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — borage oil may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take phenothiazine antipsychotics or drugs that induce the CYP3A4 liver enzyme, as borage carries Moderate interactions with both.
Your pharmacist can search your exact medications on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is an enzyme blend with borage, so it's mainly for people looking for digestive support — though evidence for that use is limited. If you take blood thinners, antipsychotics, or certain other medications, check with us first.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip the borage in this product and talk to your doctor about the enzymes.

Psor-Rbs by Loomis Enzymes Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Psor-Rbs by Loomis Enzymes contains borage oil, which does interact with some medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — borage oil may increase bleeding risk. This is a Moderate-severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Borage oil also carries Moderate-severity interactions with antipsychotic medications called phenothiazines, where there's a theoretical risk of lowering the seizure threshold, and with certain liver-metabolizing drugs (CYP3A4 inducers), which might raise levels of potentially harmful compounds in borage itself.
Lipase and lecithin, the other active ingredients we could check, have no known interactions documented. Cellulase — another ingredient in this product — we could not check; we hold no interaction data for it.
Altogether, these interactions span 224 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Psor-Rbs 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.
Borage Oil, Powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, borage seed oil may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In healthy individuals, borage seed oil supplementation does not seem to affect platelet aggregation. However, gamma-linolenic acid, a constituent of borage seed oil, seems to decrease platelet aggregation by 45% and increase the risk of bleeding by 40% in animal and clinical research.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Inducers
Theoretically, taking borage with drugs that induce CYP3A4 might increase levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) toxic metabolites.
Although borage seed oil contains little to no PAs, some borage plant parts, such as the leaf, flower, and seed, can contain hepatotoxic PAs. Hepatotoxic PAs are substrates of CYP3A4, which converts these chemicals into toxic metabolites. Tell patients to avoid borage preparations that are not certified and labeled as hepatotoxic PA-free.
Phenothiazines
Theoretically, taking borage sed oil with phenothiazines might increase the risk of seizures.
Borage seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There is concern that taking supplements containing GLA might cause seizures, or lower the seizure threshold, when taken with phenothiazines. This is based on limited data from two reports published in the 1980s. In one report, three patients with schizophrenia who had received phenothiazines developed EEG changes suggestive of temporal lobe epilepsy after starting treatment with evening primrose, another source of GLA. However, none experienced an actual seizure. In the other report, two patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on phenothiazines developed seizures when evening primrose 4 grams daily was added. One of these patients had a prior history of seizures. It is unclear whether evening primrose had any additive epileptogenic effects with the phenothiazines, but there is no evidence that taking GLA-containing supplements alone can cause seizures.
