HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super-EFF by SP Standard Process
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
Super-EFF contains five ingredients: a proprietary blend, carbamide, bovine liver, flaxseed oil, and Spanish moss, plus a bovine liver fat extract. Flaxseed oil is the ingredient we have interaction and effectiveness data for; it's a source of omega-3 fatty acids and has been studied for various health purposes.
The other active ingredients are present in amounts we cannot evaluate from the label alone.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
For flaxseed oil, the evidence we hold shows it is possibly ineffective for obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, bipolar disorder, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). We do not have effectiveness ratings for the other ingredients in this product, so we cannot tell you what role they're intended to play.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Flaxseed oil is generally well tolerated by most adults, though quality and dose vary between products. A small number of people report mild side effects like changes in bowel habits, dry mouth, and indigestion at typical doses; high doses (30 grams daily or more) have been associated with loose stools and diarrhea.
Severe allergic reactions are rare. We do not have enough safety data to know how this product works in pregnancy, and there is limited safety information for breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Super-EFF, double-check if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, apixaban, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others) — flaxseed oil may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) or ezetimibe (Zetia).
Altogether, these interactions span 291 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or ezetimibe, check with your pharmacist before starting this product. The evidence for flaxseed oil's effectiveness in the conditions it's marketed for is weak.
Overall, it's generally well tolerated, but personalized advice from your pharmacist is important given the ingredient interactions.

Super-EFF by SP Standard Process Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Super-EFF by SP Standard Process contains flaxseed oil, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, and clopidogrel). Flaxseed oil may thin your blood further, raising the risk of bleeding; small studies show it can slow clot formation and lengthen bleeding time.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Flaxseed oil may also lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) could theoretically cause your pressure to drop too far. Additionally, if you take ezetimibe (Zetia) for cholesterol, flaxseed oil can block your body's absorption of one of its active compounds, potentially reducing the supplement's intended effect.
We could not check three other ingredients in this product — carbamide, bovine liver, Spanish moss, and bovine liver fat extract — because we hold no interaction data for them. To be sure about your specific medications, use the interaction checker below with your exact drug names and dosages.

For each ingredient in Super-EFF with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Flaxseed Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, using flaxseed oil in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding.
Small clinical studies show that consuming flaxseed oil might decrease platelet aggregation and increase bleeding time.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, combining flaxseed oil with other antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical evidence suggests that long-term consumption of flaxseed oil can modestly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure, while other clinical research shows no effect.
Ezetimibe (Zetia)
Concomitant use of flaxseed oil and ezetimibe reduces the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid from flaxseed oil.
In one clinical study, concomitant consumption of ezetimibe 10 mg daily with flaxseed oil 2 grams providing 1 gram of alpha-linolenic acid daily blocked the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid, resulting in an overall reduction in alpha-linolenic plasma levels from baseline.
Bovine Liver
Iron
Liver extract can contain heme iron. Taking liver extract with iron-containing medications or supplements may increase total iron intake and could increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects or excessive iron accumulation. The risk is greater with high doses, prolonged use, or in individuals with hemochromatosis or another iron-overload disorder. Review the iron content of the liver extract and the total elemental iron dose. Avoid unnecessary duplicate iron supplementation and consider monitoring ferritin and transferrin saturation when clinically appropriate.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Liver extract products may contain small and variable amounts of vitamin K. Theoretically, starting, stopping, or substantially changing the amount of liver extract used could reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and lower the INR. However, this interaction has not been directly studied or reported in humans, and the vitamin K content of liver extract products is generally not standardized. Consider monitoring the INR after a meaningful change in liver extract use.
