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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Sytrinol” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (150 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Sytrinol contains 2 active ingredients: a proprietary blend called Sytrinol itself (which combines palm fruit extract and citrus bioflavonoids) and sweet orange extract. The product also contains several inactive ingredients — extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, annatto extract for color, natural flavor, soy lecithin, and yellow beeswax — that help form and flavor the softgel capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Sweet Orange's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Cholesterol control - maintain levels within normal range.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypercholesterolemia, Dyslipidemia, Cardiovascular health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sweet Orange is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypercholesterolemia (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold does not establish effectiveness for the conditions listed — pre-procedural anxiety, asthma, prostate cancer, common cold, constipation, and depression all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the science isn't clear enough yet to say whether this product works for any of those uses.

If you're considering Sytrinol for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor to see what the current research supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Orange

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sweet orange fruit and juice are safe as food for most people, but concentrated extracts like the one in this product haven't been studied as thoroughly, so use some caution. There have been reports of intestinal cramping in children who ingested large amounts of sweet orange peel, though this product is a concentrated extract rather than whole peel.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, sweet orange extract is rated likely safe based on the fruit's long food history, but because this is a concentrated supplement form, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Orange

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Sweet Orange.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • For scale: 246 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Sytrinol, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether you take any OATP substrates, pravastatin, ivermectin, celiprolol, P-glycoprotein substrates, quinolone antibiotics, or fexofenadine. The sweet orange in this product has Major-severity interactions with the first four categories and Moderate-severity interactions with the last three.

If you do take any of these, you'll need to time the product carefully or may need to skip it altogether.

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.

Sytrinol is worth considering only if you've checked your medications against the 246 that interact with its sweet orange extract — especially if you take a statin, antihistamine, antibiotic, or anti-parasitic drug. The evidence for what it's supposed to do isn't established in the data we hold.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start it to make sure it won't interfere with your current medications and to confirm it's right for your situation.

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.

Citrus sinensis L. extract7 drug types · 246 drugs

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.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Sytrinol by Nature's Way: Common Questions

Does Sytrinol by Nature's Way interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sytrinol has a known interaction with 246 medications, including 48 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sytrinol contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is Sytrinol safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Sweet orange extract is rated likely safe based on a long history of the fruit in food, but concentrated supplement forms haven't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes, it contains extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, annatto extract (for color), natural flavor, soy lecithin, and yellow beeswax to form the softgel capsule.
What does sweet orange extract actually do?
The facts we hold don't show evidence that this product is effective for any specific condition. If you're interested in it for a particular reason, your doctor can help you figure out whether research backs that use.
Can I space out my medications to avoid the interaction with sweet orange?
For OATP substrates, yes — you'd need at least 4 hours between taking them and this product. But for other drug types and interactions listed here, timing may not be enough. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you what works for your specific medications.
Is there an ingredient in this product I should be concerned about?
We could not check Elaeis guineensis extract (palm fruit extract) for interactions because we have no data on file for it. The sweet orange extract is the main concern — it interacts with a large number of medications, so checking with your pharmacist is important.
