HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Lytes by Purium
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
Super Lytes contains 3 active ingredients. Sodium is an electrolyte essential for nerve and muscle function, though excess intake is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain.
Himalayan Pink Salt is another sodium source. Organic rooibos extract comes from a caffeine-free tea plant and is included for its antioxidant properties.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence in our data shows sodium is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for reducing kidney damage from the antibiotic amphotericin B. For other claimed uses — bipolar disorder and heart failure — we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate them.
For rooibos extract, the evidence on age-related mental decline, allergies, anxiety, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes is insufficient to establish how well it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sodium is well tolerated in normal dietary amounts up to the recommended daily limit of 2.3 grams, but excessive supplemental sodium can worsen high blood pressure, kidney disease, and cardiovascular issues. Rooibos tea is generally considered safe when consumed as a beverage, but concentrated extracts — like the one in this product — haven't been well studied.
A case report of someone drinking 10 cups of rooibos tea daily for over a year reported liver problems, so caution is warranted with extract use. For pregnancy and lactation, sodium is rated likely safe, but rooibos carries insufficient data — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check all your medications against this product if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), lithium, corticosteroids, HIV medications like didanosine, or any blood thinners, antidepressants, antiarrhythmics, or cholesterol drugs — all have documented moderate-severity interactions with the ingredients here.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a sodium-based electrolyte supplement with rooibos extract. If you take blood pressure medication, lithium, or any medication that relies on liver enzymes for breakdown, you need to check your specific drugs against our interaction tool before starting.
Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this to your routine, especially if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or take any prescription medications.

Super Lytes by Purium Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Super Lytes by Purium contains sodium and rooibos extract, both of which have documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is sodium's interaction with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives). High sodium intake can reduce how well these drugs work, potentially requiring dose increases to maintain blood pressure control.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium also interacts with lithium, a mood stabilizer used for bipolar disorder — changing your sodium intake can shift lithium levels in your blood and raise the risk of lithium toxicity. It similarly affects corticosteroids, didanosine (an HIV medication), sodium phosphate (a bowel-prep agent), and tolvaptan (used for low blood sodium), all with a risk of dangerously high sodium levels in your blood.
The rooibos extract may slow how your liver breaks down several types of medications. It can increase the effects of drugs that depend on liver enzymes to clear them — including certain antidepressants, antiarrhythmics, blood thinners like warfarin, and atorvastatin (a cholesterol drug).
It may also boost ACE inhibitors, a common blood pressure medication.
We could not check Himalayan Pink Salt against our interaction database. Altogether, these interactions span 988 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Super Lytes 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.
organic Rooibos extract
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
Theoretically, taking rooibos with ACEIs may increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of ACEIs.
Clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking a single dose of rooibos tea, 400 mL orally, inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme activity.
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Theoretically, taking rooibos with atorvastatin may increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of atorvastatin.
Animal research shows that consuming green rooibos extract with atorvastatin daily for 3 weeks increases the maximum plasma concentration of atorvastatin by 6-fold and reduces the clearance of atorvastatin.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, taking rooibos with CYP1A2 substrates may increase the effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the methanol extract of rooibos leaves and stems inhibits CYP1A2 enzyme activity.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, taking rooibos with CYP2C19 substrates may increase the effects of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the methanol extract of rooibos leaves and stems strongly inhibits CYP2C19 enzyme activity.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, taking rooibos with CYP2C9 substrates may increase the effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the methanol extract of rooibos leaves and stems inhibits CYP2C9 enzyme activity.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, taking rooibos with CYP2D6 substrates may increase the effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the methanol extract of rooibos leaves and stems inhibits CYP2D6 enzyme activity.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, taking rooibos with CYP3A4 substrates may increase the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the methanol extract of rooibos leaves and stems strongly inhibits CYP3A4 enzyme activity.
Sodium
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
