HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ailanthus by Hawaii Pharm

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: tree of heaven extract in a liquid form. The extract also contains vegetable palm glycerin and alcohol as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the plant material.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Tree Of Heaven product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tree Of Heaven's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The product facts don't include effectiveness ratings or evidence for this ingredient, so we can't tell you what conditions it may help with based on the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tree Of Heaven

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.

Human safety data for tree of heaven are limited. The plant can irritate your stomach and skin.

Large amounts of the bark have been reported to cause queasiness, dizziness, headache, tingling in the limbs, and diarrhea in some people. The safety data advises against use in pregnancy because traditional use of the plant for menstrual effects raises concern.

There isn't enough reliable safety information during breastfeeding either, so it's best avoided then too. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking this.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Tree Of Heaven.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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, double-check it against any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs you're on—warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin, and similar medications. The extract may theoretically increase bleeding risk with these drugs.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, tree of heaven extract might reduce platelet aggregation and increase the risk of bleeding if used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. In vitro evidence shows that tree of heaven crude extract attenuates epinephrine and adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation. This interaction has not been seen in humans. Until more is known, use with caution in patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.

Ailanthus by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Ailanthus by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ailanthus has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ailanthus 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's in this liquid?
It's tree of heaven extract in a base of vegetable palm glycerin and alcohol. There's one active plant ingredient.
Is tree of heaven safe to take?
Human safety data are limited. The plant can irritate your stomach and skin, and large amounts of the bark have caused queasiness, dizziness, headache, tingling, and diarrhea in some people. It's not well studied, so caution is warranted.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advise against pregnancy use because the plant has traditionally been used for menstrual effects, and there's not enough reliable information for breastfeeding either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either situation.
Does this thin the blood?
In test-tube studies, the extract reduced platelet clumping. This hasn't been confirmed in humans yet, but there's a theoretical risk of increased bleeding if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. Check your medications with the tool on this page.
