HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Transmax Trans-Resveratrol 500 mg by Biotivia

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “98% Trans-Resveratrol Polygonum cuspidatum rhizome extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (510 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: 500 mg of trans-resveratrol, extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum rhizome and standardized to 98% purity. Resveratrol is a polyphenol — a plant compound — that's also found naturally in red grapes and red wine.

The inactive ingredient is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, a common capsule material.

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 Resveratrol's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Antioxidant support and heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, Metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, Aging skin — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Resveratrol is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Resveratrol is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome.
  • Also on file: Resveratrol is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin, Diabetes, Hypertension.

The evidence for resveratrol is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for obesity and allergic rhinitis (hay fever), meaning there's some promising early research but not yet solid proof.

For cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective — studies haven't shown meaningful benefit so far.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Resveratrol

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.

Resveratrol at typical supplement doses is generally well tolerated. At higher doses, the most common side effects are diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, and loose stools.

There's one case report of a skin rash that resolved after stopping the supplement. A few patients on peritoneal dialysis reported headache, fatigue, and memory loss while taking resveratrol, though whether resveratrol caused these isn't certain.

Long-term safety at high doses isn't fully established. We don't have enough safety data to recommend this supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Resveratrol

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Resveratrol.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 823 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 you take this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin — resveratrol may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take any medications metabolized by CYP2C19, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, or CYP2E1 enzymes, since resveratrol may raise their levels, though this hasn't been proven in most people.

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.

Resveratrol may help with obesity and hay fever, though the evidence is early. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or medications metabolized by your liver's CYP enzymes, check your exact medications with our tool before starting.

The interaction data here is mostly theoretical — your pharmacist can tell you whether it matters for your specific prescriptions.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Resveratrol may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Resveratrol seems to have antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that resveratrol can inhibit CYP1A2 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro research shows that resveratrol can inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
In vitro research suggests that resveratrol inhibits CYP2E1 isoenzyme. Also, a pharmacokinetic study shows that taking resveratrol 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to taking a single dose of chlorzoxazone 250 mg increases the maximum concentration of chlorzoxazone by about 54%, the area under the curve of chlorzoxazone by about 72%, and the half-life of chlorzoxazone by about 35%. Chlorzoxazone is used as a probe drug for CYP2E1.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, resveratrol might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that resveratrol can inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme. However, clinical research shows that taking resveratrol 3000 mg daily for 8 weeks does not necessitate dose adjustments to medications metabolized by CYP3A4.

Transmax Trans-Resveratrol 500 mg by Biotivia: Common Questions

Does Transmax Trans-Resveratrol 500 mg by Biotivia interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Transmax Trans-Resveratrol 500 mg has a known interaction with 822 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Transmax Trans-Resveratrol 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
What is resveratrol, and where does it come from?
Resveratrol is a plant compound called a polyphenol. This product extracts it from Polygonum cuspidatum rhizome (Japanese knotweed root) and standardizes it to 98% purity. You'll also find resveratrol naturally in red grapes and red wine, but in much smaller amounts.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data to say it's okay. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.
What side effects might I experience?
At typical doses, resveratrol is usually well tolerated. Higher doses may cause diarrhea, loose stools, or digestive discomfort. Rarely, a skin rash or headache has been reported. If you notice anything unusual, stop and talk to your pharmacist.
Does resveratrol really help with weight loss or allergies?
The evidence is promising but not definitive. Resveratrol is rated possibly effective for both obesity and hay fever, meaning there's some early research support, but we don't have solid proof yet.
Is this the same as red wine or grape seed extract?
No. Red wine and grapes contain resveratrol naturally, but in tiny amounts. This product is a concentrated extract — 500 mg per capsule — much higher than you'd get from food. That's why it carries different safety and interaction considerations.
