Schisandra And Your Medications: What The Research Covers

Schisandra, one of GlycoAid's five botanicals, shows up in broader, category-level pharmacology research worth knowing about if you take certain medications.

Beta-Blockers

A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic review discusses beta-blocker interactions with botanicals including schisandra.

Antidepressants

A retrospective chart review looked at adverse events from adaptogen-antidepressant combinations generally.

What This Doesn't Establish

Neither study confirms that GlycoAid's specific formula interacts with either drug class. The finished product hasn't been clinically evaluated for drug interactions at all, as far as we could confirm.

Our Take

This isn't a reason to panic, but it is a good reason to tell your doctor or pharmacist you're taking GlycoAid, especially if you're on beta-blockers, antidepressants, or any other prescription medication, before you start.
