HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Testosterone 500 by Everyday Health
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
Testosterone 500 contains three active ingredients: Tongkat Ali Extract, Horny Goat Weed, and Tribulus terrestris Extract. The product also contains two inactive ingredients—Magnesium Stearate and Gelatin—as binders and capsule material.
These three botanical extracts are traditionally used to support male sexual function and testosterone levels. Tongkat Ali and Tribulus terrestris are the ones with some evidence for sexual desire, while Horny Goat Weed's effectiveness for sexual dysfunction is not yet established in the data we hold.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Tongkat Ali Extract has possibly effective evidence for sexual desire. Tribulus terrestris Extract is also rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction.
Horny Goat Weed's effectiveness for sexual dysfunction and other conditions is insufficient—the evidence isn't established in the data we hold. None of the three ingredients have reliable evidence to support claims about athletic performance, back pain, osteoporosis, or bronchitis.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
All three ingredients are generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety data are sparse and product quality varies between brands. Horny Goat Weed's most common short-term side effects are dizziness, dry mouth, nosebleed, thirst, and vomiting; a rare serious effect is respiratory arrest.
Tribulus terrestris can cause stomach upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping), and rare cases of liver or kidney injury, seizures, and prolonged painful erection have been reported. Tongkat Ali may increase testosterone beyond the normal range, risking acne, insulin resistance, and liver damage if that occurs.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy for all three ingredients due to possible hormonal effects and insufficient safety information. There is not enough data to know either way about breastfeeding; discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check the following medication types with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk of bleeding), blood pressure medications (Moderate risk of low blood pressure), diabetes drugs (Moderate risk of low blood sugar), estrogen-containing medications (Moderate risk of amplified effects), and drugs that your liver breaks down via CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4 enzymes (Moderate risk of raised levels and side effects). Additionally, if you take propranolol (a beta blocker) or lithium, flag those for discussion as well.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may appeal to someone looking for herbal support for sexual desire, particularly if Tongkat Ali or Tribulus terrestris interests them. However, if you take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, blood thinners, estrogen, lithium, or drugs metabolized by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4, you'll need to check your exact medications before starting and discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist.
Avoid during pregnancy; ask your own healthcare provider about breastfeeding. The long-term safety picture is incomplete, so this isn't a forever commitment without periodic review.

Testosterone 500 by Everyday Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Testosterone 500 by Everyday Health contains three ingredients—Tongkat Ali Extract, Horny Goat Weed, and Tribulus terrestris Extract—that together interact with a substantial range of medications.
The most serious interaction is Moderate: Horny Goat Weed may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin or aspirin) because it can inhibit platelet function. This effect has not been observed in humans, but the theoretical risk is significant enough to warrant caution.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Horny Goat Weed also poses Moderate-severity interactions with blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), potentially increasing the risk of dangerously low blood pressure, and with estrogen-containing medications, which could amplify their therapeutic and unwanted effects. Additionally, Horny Goat Weed weakly inhibits several liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 substrates), theoretically raising levels and side effects of many drugs metabolized by these pathways.
Tribulus terrestris Extract carries Moderate interactions with blood pressure drugs and diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood pressure or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and with lithium, a mood-stabilizing medication whose levels could climb dangerously if combined with tribulus. Tongkat Ali Extract interacts Moderately with propranolol (a beta blocker used for high blood pressure and heart conditions), reducing propranolol's effectiveness, and has Minor interactions with several liver enzyme substrates (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2A6) and testosterone itself.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,069 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions before starting this product, and discuss the results with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Testosterone 500 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.
Horny Goat Weed
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, horny goat weed might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research and animal research shows that horny goat weed can inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, horny goat weed might increase the risk of hypotension.
Laboratory research suggests that horny goat weed might have hypotensive effects. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, horny goat weed might increase the effects and side effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro, horny goat weed leaf extract inhibits CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates
Theoretically, horny goat weed might increase the effects and side effects of CYP2B6 substrates.
In vitro, horny goat weed leaf extract inhibits CYP2B6. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, horny goat weed might increase the effects and side effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, horny goat weed extract inhibits CYP3A4 and suppresses CYP3A4 mRNA expression. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, concomitant use of horny goat weed with estrogens might increase their therapeutic and adverse effects.
In vitro evidence suggests that horny goat weed has estrogenic activity. In clinical research, horny goat weed has been shown to increase blood levels of estrogen in some females.
Tribulus terrestris Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.
Lithium
Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Tongkat Ali Extract
Propranolol (Inderal)
Eurycoma longifolia can reduce the levels and clinical effects of propranolol.
A small clinical study in healthy persons shows that taking a single dose of a water-based Eurycoma longifolia extract 200 mg, in combination with a single dose of propranolol 80 mg, reduces the propranolol area under the curve (AUC) by 29%, reduces the peak concentration by 42%, and increases time to peak concentration by 86% when compared with control. Since the elimination half-life of propranolol did not change, it seems that Eurycoma longifolia alters the kinetics of propranolol by decreasing its absorption in the gut, and not by altering its metabolism. It is not known if separating administration will prevent this interaction.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2A6 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2A6 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2C19 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Testosterone
Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia may further increase levels of testosterone.
A clinical study in aging males with testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL shows that taking a specific water extract of Eurycoma longifolia roots (Physta; Biotropics Malaysia) 100-200 mg daily with breakfast for 12 weeks increases total testosterone levels by 8% to 11% when compared with placebo. It is unclear whether this increase would occur in individuals with normal testosterone levels.
