HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sytrinol by Nature's Way
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
Sytrinol by Nature's Way is a 2-ingredient softgel containing Sytrinol (a proprietary blend of palm and citrus extracts) and sweet orange extract. The product also includes several inactive ingredients — olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, annatto extract, natural flavor, soy lecithin, and beeswax — that serve as the softgel capsule and carrier material.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold rates sweet orange extract's effectiveness for the conditions listed — pre-procedural anxiety, asthma, prostate cancer, common cold, constipation, and depression — as insufficient to establish whether it works. That means the research available doesn't yet support a clear claim either way.
If you're considering this product for one of these uses, we'd recommend talking with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sweet orange fruit and juice are safe as food for most people. However, concentrated extracts and supplements like this one haven't been as thoroughly studied, so use caution.
There have been reports of intestinal cramping (colic) in children who consumed large amounts of sweet orange peel. The pregnancy and lactation data rates this ingredient as likely safe, though concentrated supplements are handled more cautiously than the whole fruit.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before you take Sytrinol, double-check if you're on any OATP substrate drugs (which require a 4-hour separation), pravastatin, ivermectin, celiprolol, P-glycoprotein substrates, quinolone antibiotics, or fexofenadine. These carry Major or Moderate interactions with the sweet orange extract in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're taking any prescription medication — especially blood pressure drugs, cholesterol medications, antibiotics, antihistamines, or antiparasitals — check your exact medications against the interaction tool on this page before starting. The sweet orange extract in this product has documented Major interactions with several common drug types.
Talk to your pharmacist before adding it to your routine.

Formulation
Cholesterol control - Helps maintain levels already within the normal range.
What are healthy cholesterol levels? Total cholesterol levels in the blood should be less than 200 mg/dL. The two primary types of cholesterol are: HDL cholesterol, which is "good" because it helps remove cholesterol from the blood. Levels above 40 mg/dL are healthy. LDL cholesterol, which is "bad". Levels below 100 mg/dL are optimal for cardiovascular health.
Gluten free. No sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, lactose, corn, dairy products, or artificial flavors, or preservatives.
Formula
Sytrinol is a proprietary blend of bioflavonoids and tocotrienols extracted from citrus and palm fruits, designed to support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range.

Sytrinol by Nature's Way Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sytrinol by Nature's Way contains sweet orange extract, which interacts with a number of medications.
The most serious concern is with a group of drugs called OATP substrates (organic anion-transporting polypeptide substrates) — sweet orange can decrease how much of these drugs your body absorbs, and you'd need to separate the supplement and medication by at least 4 hours. This same ingredient also causes Major-severity interactions with pravastatin (a cholesterol drug), ivermectin (an antiparasitic), and celiprolol (a heart medication), each through different mechanisms.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Additionally, sweet orange extract has Moderate-severity interactions with P-glycoprotein substrates (a broad group of drugs whose absorption it may alter), quinolone antibiotics (especially if the juice is calcium-fortified), and fexofenadine (an allergy medication).
We could not check one ingredient in this product — Elaeis guineensis extract (palm oil extract) — because we hold no interaction data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 240 individual medications.

Read the full Citrus Sinensis L. Extract + Lovastatin interactionEach ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects
For each ingredient in Sytrinol 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.
Citrus sinensis L. extract
Celiprolol (Celicard)
Consuming sweet orange with celiprolol can decrease oral absorption of celiprolol.
A pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that celiprolol levels, after a single dose of 100 mg, are decreased by up to 90% in people who drink sweet orange juice 200 mL three times daily. It's not known if lower consumption of sweet orange juice will have the same effect. Theoretically, this occurs due to short-term inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP). Recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange by at least 4 hours.
Ivermectin (Stromectol, Others)
Consuming sweet orange juice with ivermectin can decrease the oral absorption of ivermectin.
A pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking ivermectin orally with sweet orange juice 750 mL over 4 hours reduces the bioavailability of ivermectin. This effect does not seem to be related to effects on P-glycoprotein. The effect on ivermectin is more pronounced in males compared to females.
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)
Consuming sweet orange juice can decrease oral absorption of OATP substrates. Separate administration by at least 4 hours.
Clinical research shows that consuming sweet orange juice inhibits OATP, which reduces bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP. For example, sweet orange juice decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine, a substrate of OATP, by about 72% and of celiprolol, another OATP substrate, by up to 90%. Since sweet orange juice seems to affect OATP for a short time, recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange juice by at least 4 hours.
Pravastatin (Pravachol)
Consuming sweet orange juice with pravastatin can increase the absorption of pravastatin.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that consuming sweet orange juice 800 mL over 3 hours, including before, during, and after taking pravastatin 10 mg, increases pravastatin levels by about 149%, without affecting pravastatin elimination. Theoretically this effect might be due to modulation of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) by sweet orange juice. Sweet orange juice does not seem to affect simvastatin levels, but it is not known if sweet orange affects any of the other statins.
Fexofenadine (Allegra)
Consuming sweet orange juice with fexofenadine can decrease oral absorption of fexofenadine.
Clinical research shows that coadministration of sweet orange juice 1200 mL decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by about 72%. In an animal model, sweet orange juice decreased bioavailability of fexofenadine by 31%. Fexofenadine manufacturer data indicates that concomitant administration of sweet orange juice and fexofenadine results in larger wheal and flare sizes in research models. This suggests that sweet orange reduces the clinical response to fexofenadine. Theoretically, this occurs due to short-term inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP). Recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange by at least 4 hours.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Sweet orange juice seems to modulate P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which might affect the blood levels of P-gp substrates.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that orange juice extract inhibits drug efflux by P-gp, increasing absorption and levels of P-gp substrates. In contrast, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking large amounts of sweet orange juice decreases absorption and levels of the P-gp substrate celiprolol. This suggests that orange juice actually induces drug efflux by P-gp or affects drug levels by another mechanism such as inhibiting the gut drug transporter called organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP). Until more is known, sweet orange juice should be used cautiously in people taking P-gp substrates.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Calcium-fortified sweet orange juice might reduce quinolone absorption.
Calcium binds to quinolones in the gut. Theoretically, the calcium in certain fortified orange juices can also bind to quinolone antibiotics and reduce their absorption and levels.
