HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vision Health by Terry Naturally

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (150 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Vision Health contains four active ingredients designed to support eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids—plant pigments that concentrate in the retina and are thought to protect the back of the eye.

Black currant fruit extract and French grape seed extract are plant-based antioxidants often included for their polyphenol content. The product also contains several inactive ingredients (cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, and silica) that serve as capsule materials and flow agents.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: retina and macular health with eye fatigue support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye strain), Cataracts, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye, Myopia — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Cataracts.
  • Also on file: Zeaxanthin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

For age-related macular degeneration (AMD), both lutein and zeaxanthin are rated Possibly Effective based on available evidence. Lutein is also rated Possibly Effective for cataracts.

Grape seed extract is rated Possibly Effective for chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs). For other conditions listed—retinitis pigmentosa, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (lutein); Alzheimer disease, liver disease, upper respiratory infection, cough, atopic dermatitis (black currant); Alzheimer disease, age-related cognitive decline, asthma, and breast cancer (zeaxanthin)—the evidence is either insufficient to rate them or suggests they are possibly ineffective.

The data we hold does not establish effectiveness for most of these other uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Currant Grape Lutein Zeaxanthin

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 3 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lutein from food and typical supplement doses is generally well tolerated, with doses up to 20 mg daily showing no reported adverse effects. However, safety data on concentrated supplement doses during pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited, so use caution and check with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.

Grape seed extract and black currant berry are generally well tolerated when eaten as food; as concentrated supplements, safety data is less complete. With grape seed extract, mild side effects may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, heartburn, headache, joint pain, or nausea.

A small number of trial participants taking black currant seed oil (1.8 grams twice daily) reported mild diarrhea 2–10 days after starting. Zeaxanthin is generally well tolerated at typical supplement amounts.

Concentrated grape and black currant supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding lack sufficient safety data; check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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?
  • 3 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Grape, Black Currant, Zeaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 991 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 Vision Health, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin)—black currant and grape seed extract may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you take antidiabetes drugs, cyclosporine, midazolam, phenothiazines, or any medication metabolized by your liver's CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4 enzymes, since grape seed extract and possibly black currant may change how these drugs work.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vision Health may be worth considering if you want to support eye health, especially if you're concerned about AMD or cataracts—lutein and zeaxanthin have some evidence for those conditions. However, if you take blood thinners, antidiabetes medications, cyclosporine, midazolam, phenothiazines, or any drug processed by your liver's CYP enzymes, you need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, because several ingredients may interfere with how those medications work.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also discuss this supplement with their healthcare provider beforehand.

French Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract9 drug types · 910 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, grape extracts may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape extracts might decrease platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Ingesting grape juice with cyclosporine can reduce cyclosporine absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy young adults shows that intake of purple grape juice 200 mL along with cyclosporine can decrease the absorption of cyclosporine by up to 30% when compared with water. Separate doses of grape juice and cyclosporine by at least 2 hours to avoid this interaction.

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

Theoretically, grape juice might reduce the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, grape seed extract may increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP2D6 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, grape seed extract might increase the levels of CYP2E1 substrates.
In vitro and animal research suggests that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract inhibits CYP2E1 enzymes. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

It is unclear if grape seed extract inhibits or induces CYP3A4; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence suggests that grape seed extract might inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. However, evidence from animal research shows that grape seed extract may induce CYP3A4 in the liver. So far, these interactions have not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Midazolam (Versed)

Theoretically, long-term intake of grape seed extract might decrease the effects of midazolam.
Animal research shows that subchronic ingestions of grape seed extract can increase the elimination of intravenous midazolam by increasing hepatic CYP3A4 activity. Single doses of grape seed extract do not appear to affect midazolam elimination.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenacetin

Grape juice might decrease phenacetin absorption.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that ingestion of 200 mL of grape juice decreases phenacetin plasma levels. This is thought to be due to induction of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2).

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

It is unclear if grape juice or grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9; research is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that grape seed extract or grape juice might inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, a small pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults shows that drinking 8 ounces of grape juice once does not affect the clearance of flurbiprofen, a probe-drug for CYP2C9 metabolism. The effects of continued grape juice consumption are unclear.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
French Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract full monograph & interactions

Black Currant (Ribes nigrum) fruit extract2 drug types · 140 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding if used in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a constituent of black currant seed oil, appears to have antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenothiazines

Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of seizure in patients receiving phenothiazines.
Black currant seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There is some concern that taking supplements containing GLA might cause seizures, or lower the seizure threshold, when taken with phenothiazines, although there is no evidence that black currant seed oil causes seizures. In one report, three patients with schizophrenia who had received phenothiazines developed EEG changes suggestive of temporal lobe epilepsy after starting treatment with GLA, although none experienced an actual seizure. In another report, two patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on phenothiazines developed seizures when evening primrose 4 grams daily, which contains GLA, was added. One of these patients had a prior history of seizures.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Black Currant (Ribes nigrum) fruit extract full monograph & interactions

Zeaxanthin1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking zeaxanthin with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In an animal diabetic model, zeaxanthin has hypoglycemic effects. However, population research has found that increasing intake of dietary zeaxanthin plus lutein does not decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Vision Health by Terry Naturally: Common Questions

Does Vision Health by Terry Naturally interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vision Health has a known interaction with 990 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vision Health contains 4 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 Vision Health safe to take if I'm pregnant?
Lutein and grape seed extract are rated Likely Safe in pregnancy, but black currant and zeaxanthin lack sufficient safety data on concentrated supplements. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since you'll want personalized advice based on your full health picture.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
Lutein is naturally in breast milk and is considered Likely Safe. Black currant and zeaxanthin lack enough data on concentrated supplement doses while breastfeeding. Grape seed extract also has limited safety information for nursing. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure it's right for you.
What does lutein actually do for my eyes?
Lutein is a pigment that builds up in the retina (the back of your eye) and is thought to filter harmful light and protect cells from damage. It's rated Possibly Effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, though it's not a cure and works best as part of overall eye health.
Could Vision Health cause side effects?
Most people tolerate these ingredients well. Grape seed extract may cause mild abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth, heartburn, headache, joint pain, or nausea. A small number of people taking black currant reported mild diarrhea in the first 2–10 days. Severe allergic reactions to grape are very rare.
Will this help my dry eyes or eye strain?
The evidence we hold does not establish effectiveness for dry eyes or eye strain. This product is formulated mainly for AMD and cataracts. If dry eye or strain is your concern, talk with your eye doctor about what might actually help.
How much lutein and zeaxanthin are in each capsule?
The product uses a Proprietary Complex for some ingredients, which means the exact amounts aren't listed separately on the label. Check the product label or contact the manufacturer if you need specific dose information.
