HelloPharmacist Scorecard of VisionPro Provinal Omega 7 with Lutein & Astaxanthin by BioGanix

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 4 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Provinal Omega 7 Fatty Acid Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (420 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains five active ingredients. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for vision and immune function.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid — a type of natural pigment — sourced from marine algae. Lutein is another carotenoid that concentrates in the eye.

The product also includes Palmitoleic Acid (an omega-7 fatty acid from the Provinal blend) and Anchovy as a source ingredient. We have interaction data on file for three of these; we could not check the safety profile of Palmitoleic Acid Ethyl Acid or Anchovy.

The product contains three inactive ingredients — gelatin (the capsule shell), glycerin, and purified water — to deliver the actives.

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: Antioxidant protection and support for healthy eyes and vision.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye strain), Cataracts, Central serous retinopathy, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye — and 4 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: Vitamin A is rated "Possibly Effective" for Night vision.

Vitamin A is effective for preventing vitamin A deficiency and is possibly effective for oral leukoplakia, aging skin, measles, ulcerative colitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Lutein is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

For astaxanthin, the evidence we hold on age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, and carpal tunnel syndrome is insufficient to rate it reliably — meaning research hasn't established whether it works for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin A Astaxanthin Lutein

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

Vitamin A is generally well tolerated at recommended amounts but builds up in your body and can become toxic in high doses. The serious rare effects of very high vitamin A doses include brain swelling, liver damage, and coma.

Chronic overuse can cause dry skin and lips, rashes, hair loss, brittle nails, and other skin changes. Young children are more vulnerable to acute toxicity than adults.

Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stool.

For pregnancy, vitamin A at normal and recommended supplement amounts is appropriate, but high-dose supplements (especially retinol) should be avoided due to birth defect risk. For astaxanthin and lutein during pregnancy and breastfeeding: astaxanthin has insufficient safety data — it's best to avoid it — while lutein is likely safe during pregnancy; for breastfeeding, astaxanthin should be avoided and lutein's safety at higher supplement doses is not well studied.

Discuss this product with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing.

Major identified

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

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Vitamin A, Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 903 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 this product, check if you use retinoids (like tretinoin, isotretinoin, or adapalene), warfarin or other blood thinners, tetracycline antibiotics (like doxycycline or minocycline), or drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 pathways — these are major or moderate interactions. The vitamin A content can cause serious problems in combination with these medications.

The bottom line

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

If you're looking to support eye health with lutein and want an antioxidant boost, this product's ingredients have some evidence behind them. But if you take any prescription medications — especially blood thinners, tetracycline antibiotics, liver-metabolized drugs, or retinoid creams or pills — you need to check your exact medications before starting.

Vitamin A in high amounts isn't something to add casually. Run your medication list through the tool on this page or talk to your pharmacist.

Astaxanthin2 drug types · 671 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Theoretically, astaxanthin may decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that astaxanthin induces cytochrome CYP2B6 enzyme activity in human hepatocytes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

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

Astaxanthin full monograph & interactions

Vitamin A4 drug types · 387 drugs

Retinoids

Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.

VisionPro Provinal Omega 7 with Lutein & Astaxanthin by BioGanix: Common Questions

Does VisionPro Provinal Omega 7 with Lutein & Astaxanthin by BioGanix interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, VisionPro Provinal Omega 7 with Lutein & Astaxanthin has a known interaction with 902 medications, including 9 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
VisionPro Provinal Omega 7 with Lutein & Astaxanthin contains 5 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.
Does this product have any fillers?
Yes. Beyond the five active ingredients, the capsule itself is made of gelatin, and the product contains glycerin and purified water as inactive ingredients to help deliver the actives.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Vitamin A at normal recommended supplement amounts is appropriate in pregnancy, but this product should not replace medical guidance. Astaxanthin has insufficient safety data in pregnancy — you should avoid it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you during pregnancy.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
Lutein is naturally in breast milk and is likely safe. But astaxanthin has insufficient safety data for breastfeeding — it's best to avoid it. Check with your pharmacist or doctor about the vitamin A content for your situation.
What does lutein actually do?
Lutein is a carotenoid that concentrates in the eye's macula. It's possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, both conditions that affect vision as you age.
What side effects might I notice from astaxanthin?
Most people tolerate it well, but the most common side effects reported in studies are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stool. Higher doses have caused more severe stomach pain in a small number of people.
How much vitamin A is in each capsule?
That's not listed in the product facts we have on file. Check the label or ask your pharmacist — this matters because vitamin A can be toxic in high doses and interacts with several medications.
