HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stabilize by Arms Race Nutrition
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
Full disclosure
Stabilize contains 4 active ingredients. The main ones are berberine HCl (a plant alkaloid with potential effects on metabolism and blood sugar), 3,3'-diindolylmethane or DIM (a compound from cruciferous vegetables), Shoden ashwagandha extract (a traditional herb used for stress and sleep), and Lepidamax gelatinized maca root powder (a plant root traditionally used as a food supplement).
The capsule itself is made of cellulose, with magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for what Stabilize does is limited. Berberine shows possibly effective evidence for high cholesterol, PCOS, H. pylori infection, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Ashwagandha shows possibly effective evidence for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder. Diindolylmethane and maca, however, have insufficient evidence in our data to rate them for any condition—the research either isn't there yet or isn't strong enough to draw conclusions.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Berberine and ashwagandha are generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety data for diindolylmethane is not well established. Common side effects across these ingredients include digestive upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gas), headache, and rash.
Berberine may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and fatigue. Ashwagandha has rare reports of liver damage and intracranial bleeding linked to it.
Maca is generally well tolerated as a food but may cause stomach pain if consumed raw. For pregnancy: diindolylmethane safety data advises against use due to possible hormone effects.
Berberine should be avoided in pregnancy (possible harm to newborns) and while breastfeeding (passes into milk). Ashwagandha is traditionally thought to risk miscarriage and should be avoided in pregnancy, and there isn't enough data to breastfeed safely.
Maca data doesn't exist in our files—talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking Stabilize, check your medications in the tool below, especially: cyclosporine (Major interaction with berberine), blood pressure medications (Moderate with berberine and ashwagandha), blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (Moderate with berberine), diabetes medications (Moderate with berberine and ashwagandha), CNS depressants and benzodiazepines (Moderate with berberine and ashwagandha), thyroid hormones (Moderate with ashwagandha), immunosuppressants (Moderate with ashwagandha), and any drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP1A2 enzymes (Moderate or Minor with multiple ingredients).
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Stabilize is a four-ingredient supplement with documented interactions affecting over 1,400 medications, especially serious ones with cyclosporine and many others affecting your blood pressure, blood sugar, and sedation. If you take any regular medications—particularly blood pressure drugs, diabetes drugs, blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or sedatives—check them against this product before you start.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip berberine and ashwagandha entirely; talk with your pharmacist about the others.

Stabilize by Arms Race Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Stabilize by Arms Race Nutrition contains four active ingredients, and the one we have the most interaction data for—berberine—carries significant concerns.
Berberine can raise blood levels of cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant), which is a Major interaction; it also moderately interacts with CNS depressants (sedatives, sleeping pills, anxiety medications), blood pressure drugs, blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, and several enzyme systems that metabolize many common prescriptions.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Diindolylmethane and ashwagandha add further moderate-level concerns: both may interact with blood pressure medications and diabetes drugs, and both may affect how your body processes certain medications through liver enzymes. Ashwagandha also theoretically interacts with benzodiazepines (like Valium or Xanax), immune-suppressing drugs, thyroid hormones, and drugs that stress the liver.
Diindolylmethane may also interfere with estrogen or hormonal medications, and with sodium-depleting diuretics (water pills).
We could not check maca for interactions; no data was available for it. Altogether, these interactions span 1,446 individual medications.
Before you start Stabilize, use the medication checker below to look up your exact prescriptions—especially if you take blood pressure or diabetes medications, blood thinners, sedatives, cyclosporine, benzodiazepines, or thyroid hormones.

Shoden Ashwagandha extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
There is preliminary clinical evidence suggesting that ashwagandha might lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research suggests that ashwagandha might lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.
Benzodiazepines
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of benzodiazepines.
There is preliminary evidence that ashwagandha might have an additive effect with diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Klonopin). This may also occur with other benzodiazepines.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Ashwagandha seems to have sedative effects. Theoretically, this may potentiate the effects of barbiturates, other sedatives, and anxiolytics.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
Ashwagandha has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, autoimmune hepatitis, the need for liver transplantation, and death due to liver failure.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might decrease the effects of immunosuppressants.
Ashwagandha has demonstrated immunostimulant effects in humans. Animal research has shown that ashwagandha can attenuate the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.
Thyroid Hormone
Ashwagandha might increase the effects and adverse effects of thyroid hormone.
Concomitant use of ashwagandha with thyroid hormones may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects. Preliminary clinical research and animal studies suggest that ashwagandha boosts thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. In one clinical study, ashwagandha increased triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels by 41.5% and 19.6%, respectively, and reduced serum TSH levels by 17.4% from baseline in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes.
Serotonergic Drugs
Some animal studies have reported that ashwagandha can enhance serotonergic transmission by altering certain serotonin (5-HT) receptors. However, there is no evidence to suggest that ashwagandha increases the risk of serotonin-related effects, and there have been no published case reports of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Nevertheless, due to the lack of extensive studies on the matter and the fact that ashwagandha appears to affect serotonergic pathways, it would be prudent to exercise caution when combining it with drugs that affect serotonin.

Berberine HCl
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Berberine can increase serum levels of cyclosporine.
Berberine can reduce metabolism and increase serum levels of cyclosporine. Berberine might inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which metabolizes cyclosporine.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, berberine might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and in vivo research suggest that berberine can inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, berberine might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs and increase the risk of bleeding.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, berberine may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that berberine may lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, berberine might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, berberine might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that berberine can have hypotensive effects. Also, a clinical study suggests that taking berberine in combination with amlodipine can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure when compared with amlodipine alone.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, berberine might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that berberine may have sedative effects. Theoretically, use of berberine along with CNS depressants might produce additive therapeutic and adverse effects.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, berberine might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit CYP2C9. Theoretically, taking berberine with drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 might increase drug levels and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, berberine might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical evidence show that berberine can inhibit CYP2D6. Theoretically, use of berberine with drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 might increase drug levels and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, berberine might increase serum levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research and preliminary clinical research show that berberine moderately inhibits CYP3A4. Theoretically, use of berberine with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 might increase drug levels and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Dextromethorphan (Robitussin Dm, Others)
Theoretically, berberine may increase serum levels of dextromethorphan.
Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) activity and reduce the metabolism of dextromethorphan. This may increase the effects and side effects of dextromethorphan.
Losartan (Cozaar)
Berberine might reduce the therapeutic effects of losartan by decreasing its conversion to its active form.
Preliminary clinical research suggests that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) activity and reduce metabolism of losartan.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, berberine might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
In vitro and animal studies show that berberine can increase the systemic exposure and half-life of metformin, potentially increasing metformin's effects and side effects. This interaction seems to be most apparent when berberine is administered 2 hours prior to metformin. Taking berberine and metformin at the same time does not appear to increase systemic exposure to metformin.
Midazolam (Versed)
Berberine can reduce metabolism of midazolam, which might increase the risk of severe adverse effects.
Preliminary clinical research shows that berberine can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity and reduce metabolism of midazolam.
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)
Berberine might increase the sedative effect of pentobarbital.
Evidence from animal research shows that berberine can prolong pentobarbital-induced sleeping time. Theoretically, combining berberine and pentobarbital might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Tacrolimus (Prograf)
Berberine has been associated with increased blood levels of tacrolimus.
In a 16-year-old patient with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome who was being treated with tacrolimus 6.5 mg twice daily, intake of berberine 200 mg three times daily increased the blood concentration of tacrolimus from 8 to 22 ng/mL. Following a reduction of the tacrolimus dose to 3 mg daily, blood levels of tacrolimus decreased to 12 ng/mL.
Acetazolamide
Laboratory studies and initial clinical findings suggest that berberine has the potential to increase acetazolamide concentrations in the body. More research is needed to confirm this interaction.
3,3'-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.
