HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Radiance by Eu Natural
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
Low disclosure
Radiance contains four active ingredients. BioPerine is black pepper extract, included to enhance absorption and nutrient uptake.
Diindolylmethane is a compound from cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower). Evening Primrose Oil and Black Currant Seed Oil are both plant oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
The product also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin, glycerin, purified water, carob, yellow beeswax, and sunflower lecithin—which serve as fillers, thickeners, and capsule material.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. BioPerine has insufficient reliable evidence for hay fever, asthma, athletic performance, headache, depression, and diarrhea.
Diindolylmethane similarly lacks reliable evidence for benign prostate enlargement, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical dysplasia, and breast pain. Evening Primrose Oil shows possibly ineffective evidence for asthma and likely ineffective evidence for breast pain, with insufficient evidence for other uses.
Black Currant Seed Oil has insufficient evidence for Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, upper respiratory infection, cough, and eczema. Our data does not establish effectiveness for this product's intended use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
BioPerine (black pepper) is generally well tolerated when used in food amounts; concentrated supplements warrant caution. The most common side effects are burning aftertaste, indigestion, and reduced taste perception.
Rarely, allergic reactions can occur. Diindolylmethane is generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety isn't well established; common side effects include diarrhea, gas, headache, nausea, rash, and vomiting.
Evening Primrose Oil is generally well tolerated but quality evidence and long-term data are limited; common side effects are stomach pain, diarrhea, indigestion, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Black Currant Seed Oil is considered safe at food doses, but concentrated supplements lack safety data; mild diarrhea has been reported.
Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding, diindolylmethane is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation, but Evening Primrose Oil should be avoided in pregnancy unless a doctor directs otherwise, and Black Currant has no safety data on file for breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Radiance, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on heart medications like propranolol, seizure medications like phenytoin, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, HIV medications including nevirapine, lopinavir/ritonavir, or rifampin, lithium (mood stabilizer), cholesterol drugs like atorvastatin, theophylline (asthma medication), phenothiazines (antipsychotics), estrogen-based hormone therapy, diuretics, or any drug metabolized through your liver's CYP1A2 or CYP2C9 pathways. These are the main medication types affected by this product's ingredients.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Radiance is marketed with several plant-based actives that lack strong evidence for their intended uses. If you take a heart medication, seizure medication, blood thinner, HIV drug, mood stabilizer, or any medication metabolized by your liver, you must check with your pharmacist before starting this product.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should speak with their doctor first.

Radiance by Eu Natural Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Radiance by Eu Natural contains four active ingredients, and our data shows documented interactions with multiple medication types.
The most serious concern is with BioPerine (black pepper), which can increase blood levels of several drugs through a moderate-severity mechanism: it may raise levels of propranolol (a heart medication), nevirapine (an HIV drug), rifampin (a tuberculosis drug), phenytoin (a seizure medication), cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant), pentobarbital (a sedative), atorvastatin (a cholesterol drug), and theophylline (an asthma drug). Altogether, these interactions span 1,107 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Diindolylmethane brings moderate-severity interactions with estrogens (hormone therapy may be affected either way), sodium-depleting diuretics (water pills that lower sodium), and minor interactions with drugs metabolized through CYP1A2 pathways. Evening Primrose Oil and Black Currant Seed Oil both carry moderate-severity risks with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (increased bleeding risk), and both theoretically raise seizure risk if you're taking phenothiazines (antipsychotic medications).
Evening primrose oil also has a moderate interaction with lithium (mood stabilizer) and lopinavir/ritonavir (HIV medication), plus a minor one with CYP2C9 substrates.

BioPerine
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to inhibit platelet aggregation. This has not been reported in humans.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, can reduce blood glucose levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of atorvastatin.
Animal research shows that taking piperine, a constituent of black pepper, 35 mg/kg can increase the maximum serum concentration of atorvastatin three-fold. This has not been reported in humans.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the effects and side effects of cyclosporine.
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases the bioavailability of cyclosporine. This has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research suggests that some constituents of black pepper inhibit CYP2D6. This has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research and pharmacokinetic simulation data suggest that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, as well as the pepper fruit seem to inhibit CYP3A4. This has not been reported in humans.
Lithium
Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of lithium due to its diuretic effects. The dose of lithium might need to be reduced.
Black pepper is thought to have diuretic properties.
Nevirapine (Viramune)
Black pepper might increase blood levels of nevirapine.
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases the plasma concentration of nevirapine. However, no adverse effects were observed in this study.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, black pepper might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to inhibit P-glycoprotein.
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases pentobarbital-induced sleeping time.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Black pepper might increase blood levels of phenytoin.
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to increase absorption, slow elimination, and increase levels of phenytoin. Taking a single dose of black pepper 1 gram along with phenytoin seems to double the serum concentration of phenytoin. Consuming a soup with black pepper providing piperine 44 mg/200 mL of soup along with phenytoin also seems to increase phenytoin levels when compared with consuming the same soup without black pepper.
Propranolol (Inderal)
Black pepper might increase blood levels of propranolol.
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to increase absorption and slow elimination of propranolol.
Rifampin (Rifadin)
Black pepper might increase blood levels of rifampin.
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to increase absorption and serum levels of rifampin.
Theophylline
Black pepper might increase blood levels of theophylline.
Clinical research shows that piperine, a constituent of black pepper, seems to increase absorption and slow elimination of theophylline.
Amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox)
Theoretically, black pepper might increase the effects and side effects of amoxicillin.
Animal research shows that taking piperine, a constituent of black pepper, with amoxicillin increases plasma levels of amoxicillin. This has not been reported in humans.
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of carbamazepine, potentially increasing the effects and side effects of carbamazepine.
One clinical study in patients taking carbamazepine 300 mg or 500 mg twice daily shows that taking a single 20 mg dose of purified piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases carbamazepine levels. Piperine may increase carbamazepine absorption by increasing blood flow to the GI tract, increasing the surface area of the small intestine, or inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the gut wall. Absorption was significantly increased by 7-10 mcg/mL/hour. The time to eliminate carbamazepine was also increased by 4-8 hours. Although carbamazepine levels were increased, this did not appear to increase side effects. In vitro research also shows that piperine can increase carbamazepine levels by 11% in a time-dependent manner.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, black pepper might decrease levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research suggests that black pepper induces CYP1A2. This has not been reported in humans.
Diindolylmethane
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, diindolylmethane might increase the risk of hyponatremia if used with sodium-depleting diuretics.
Large doses of diindolylmethane (600 mg daily) have been associated with two cases of asymptomatic hyponatremia in clinical research.
Estrogens
Theoretically, diindolylmethane might increase or decrease the effects of estrogens.
Diindolylmethane might have mild estrogenic or antiestrogenic effects. Theoretically, large amounts of diindolylmethane might interfere with hormone replacement therapy.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, diindolylmethane might lower serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that diindolylmethane can induce CYP1A2. Theoretically, it might increase metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates and lower serum concentrations. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Evening Primrose Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, evening primrose oil may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Evening primrose oil contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA). There is preliminary clinical evidence that GLA can reduce platelet aggregation and prolong bleeding time.
Lithium
Theoretically, concomitant use of lithium with evening primrose oil might decrease lithium levels and effects.
In a case report, a patient on a stable dose of lithium for 10 years experienced a reduction in lithium levels after taking evening primrose oil 500 mg daily. Baseline levels were 0.69 mmol/L, which decreased to 0.37 mmol/L after 2 months and 0.23 mmol/L after 3 months of use. Lithium levels increased within 6 weeks of discontinuing evening primrose oil, to 0.73 mmol/L; no clinical effects were noted.
Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra)
Theoretically, evening primrose oil might increase the levels and effects of lopinavir.
In a case report, an HIV patient who took evening primrose oil (Efamol) along with lopinavir/ritonavir experienced an increase in serum levels of lopinavir to 15.2 mg/L. Six weeks after discontinuing evening primrose oil, levels of lopinavir returned to the normal range of 5-10 mg/L. When re-challenged with evening primrose oil for a week, the patient's lopinavir levels increased from 6.69 to 8.11 mg/L. It is suspected that evening primrose oil increases levels of lopinavir by inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes lopinavir. However, this effect has not been reported in other research.
Phenothiazines
Theoretically, taking evening primrose oil with phenothiazines might increase the risk of convulsions.
Evening primrose oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There is some concern that taking supplements containing GLA might cause seizures, or lower the seizure threshold, when taken with phenothiazines. In one report, three patients with schizophrenia who had received phenothiazines developed EEG changes suggestive of temporal lobe epilepsy after starting treatment with GLA, although none experienced an actual seizure. In another report, two patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on phenothiazines developed seizures when evening primrose oil 4 grams daily was added. One of these patients had a prior history of seizures. It is unclear whether evening primrose oil had any additive epileptogenic effects with the phenothiazines; there is no evidence that taking evening primrose oil alone causes seizures.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, evening primrose may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that linoleic acid, a constituent of evening primrose oil, inhibits CYP2C9.
Black Currant Seed Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding if used in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a constituent of black currant seed oil, appears to have antiplatelet effects.
Phenothiazines
Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of seizure in patients receiving phenothiazines.
Black currant seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There is some concern that taking supplements containing GLA might cause seizures, or lower the seizure threshold, when taken with phenothiazines, although there is no evidence that black currant seed oil causes seizures. In one report, three patients with schizophrenia who had received phenothiazines developed EEG changes suggestive of temporal lobe epilepsy after starting treatment with GLA, although none experienced an actual seizure. In another report, two patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on phenothiazines developed seizures when evening primrose 4 grams daily, which contains GLA, was added. One of these patients had a prior history of seizures.
