Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Bio-Active Hyaluronic Acid Complex. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately. Supplements standardized to contain hyaluronic acid 70%, in an 80 mg daily dose, have been used daily for up to 3 months with no reports of adverse effects (55742,91779). ...when used topically and appropriately. Hyaluronic acid, in a gel or impregnated gauze, has been safely applied to the skin in clinical trials (7889,7892,104389,108627,108640). ...when eye drop preparations containing up to 0.3% hyaluronic acid are used multiple times per day for up to 3 months (97885,97894,97895,110555).
PREGNANCY:
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of hyaluronic acid; avoid using.
LACTATION:
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of hyaluronic acid.
It is not known if hyaluronic acid is excreted in breast milk (7890); avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when sweet orange juice or fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (1310,3340,15171,92309,114401).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when the essential oil of sweet orange is inhaled as aromatherapy, short-term (35735,58060,90505,105455). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of sweet orange peel when used orally.
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when sweet orange juice or fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when the sweet orange peel is used orally in excessive amounts.
There have been reports of intestinal colic, convulsions, and death in children given large amounts of sweet orange peel (11).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when sweet orange juice or fruit is used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (1310,3340).

Consuming sweet orange with celiprolol can decrease oral absorption of celiprolol.
A pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that celiprolol levels, after a single dose of 100 mg, are decreased by up to 90% in people who drink sweet orange juice 200 mL three times daily. It's not known if lower consumption of sweet orange juice will have the same effect. Theoretically, this occurs due to short-term inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) (12115,17603,17604). Recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange by at least 4 hours (17603,17604).

Consuming sweet orange juice with fexofenadine can decrease oral absorption of fexofenadine.
Clinical research shows that coadministration of sweet orange juice 1200 mL decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by about 72% (7046,17604). In an animal model, sweet orange juice decreased bioavailability of fexofenadine by 31% (17605). Fexofenadine manufacturer data indicates that concomitant administration of sweet orange juice and fexofenadine results in larger wheal and flare sizes in research models. This suggests that sweet orange reduces the clinical response to fexofenadine (17603). Theoretically, this occurs due to short-term inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) (7046). Recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange by at least 4 hours (17603,17604).
|
Consuming sweet orange juice with ivermectin can decrease the oral absorption of ivermectin.
A pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking ivermectin orally with sweet orange juice 750 mL over 4 hours reduces the bioavailability of ivermectin. This effect does not seem to be related to effects on P-glycoprotein. The effect on ivermectin is more pronounced in males compared to females (12154).

Consuming sweet orange juice can decrease oral absorption of OATP substrates. Separate administration by at least 4 hours.
Clinical research shows that consuming sweet orange juice inhibits OATP, which reduces bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP (17603,17604). For example, sweet orange juice decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine, a substrate of OATP, by about 72% and of celiprolol, another OATP substrate, by up to 90% (7046,12115). Since sweet orange juice seems to affect OATP for a short time, recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange juice by at least 4 hours (17603,17604).

Sweet orange juice seems to modulate P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which might affect the blood levels of P-gp substrates.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that orange juice extract inhibits drug efflux by P-gp, increasing absorption and levels of P-gp substrates (12116,15327). In contrast, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking large amounts of sweet orange juice decreases absorption and levels of the P-gp substrate celiprolol. This suggests that orange juice actually induces drug efflux by P-gp or affects drug levels by another mechanism such as inhibiting the gut drug transporter called organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) (7046,12115). Until more is known, sweet orange juice should be used cautiously in people taking P-gp substrates.

Consuming sweet orange juice with pravastatin can increase the absorption of pravastatin.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that consuming sweet orange juice 800 mL over 3 hours, including before, during, and after taking pravastatin 10 mg, increases pravastatin levels by about 149%, without affecting pravastatin elimination. Theoretically this effect might be due to modulation of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) by sweet orange juice (14348). Sweet orange juice does not seem to affect simvastatin levels, but it is not known if sweet orange affects any of the other statins.

Calcium-fortified sweet orange juice might reduce quinolone absorption.
