HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Aller-Eaz by Herb Stop

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (668 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Aller-Eaz contains three active ingredients: nettle, rose hip, and eyebright, delivered in a proprietary blend inside a capsule. The formula also includes two inactive ingredients—hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and purified water—that serve as the capsule material and base.

Nettle (also called stinging nettle) is included for its traditional use in allergies and other conditions. Rose hip is a fruit rich in vitamin C, and eyebright is an herb traditionally used for eye and respiratory comfort.

The blend combines these three botanicals into a single formula.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports natural histamine response.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Asthma, Conjunctivitis, Blepharitis, Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Asthenopia (eye strain) — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Blepharitis, Asthenopia (eye strain), Conjunctivitis.
  • Also on file: Stinging Nettle is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Asthma, Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The evidence for Aller-Eaz's ingredients is mixed. Nettle is rated possibly effective for diabetes, but for allergic rhinitis (hay fever)—a key target for an allergy product—the evidence is insufficient to rate.

Rose hip is rated possibly effective for postoperative pain and osteoarthritis, but not for allergy-related uses. Eyebright, like nettle, has insufficient evidence to rate for allergic rhinitis or other conditions this product appears designed to address.

In short, solid evidence supporting Aller-Eaz for allergy relief is not established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stinging Nettle Rose Hip Eyebright

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.

Nettle is generally well tolerated when used as directed, though constipation and diarrhea are the most common side effects reported. However, nettle is best avoided during pregnancy due to traditional concerns about effects on the uterus, and breastfeeding safety has not been established.

Rose hip is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety is less studied; loose stools and flatulence are most common, and gastrointestinal upset (nausea, acid reflux, constipation) has been reported. Rose hip safety at supplement doses is not well established, so caution is advised.

Eyebright is likely safe in small amounts as a tea, but safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. Rare side effects from eyebright include confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, and nasal congestion.

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Eyebright, Stinging Nettle, Rose Hip.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; cancer treatments; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 374 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 Aller-Eaz, double-check any antidiabetes medications (both nettle and eyebright may lower blood sugar). Next, check diuretics, lithium, warfarin or other blood thinners, estrogen-based medications (oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy), chemotherapy drugs, and aspirin.

These are the drug types with documented Moderate or Minor interactions with the ingredients in this product.

Rose Hip8 drug types · 213 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents but might also reduce the oxidative damage caused by certain alkylating agents.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. Further, some animal research suggests that the antioxidant effects of rose hip might attenuate cyclophosphamide-induced testicular toxicity. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants found in rose hip, such as vitamin C, have on the effectiveness and adverse effects of chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aluminum

Theoretically, rose hip might increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Theoretically, vitamin C increases the absorption of aluminum. Concomitant use might increase aluminum absorption, but the clinical significance of this is unknown. Administer rose hip two hours before or four hours after antacids.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that a constituent of rose hip, rugosin E, can induce platelet aggregation. This has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antitumor Antibiotics

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
Rose hip contains the antioxidant vitamin C. There is concern that antioxidants might reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as antitumor antibiotics. In contrast, other researchers theorize that antioxidants might make antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% have occured under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. However, increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when women who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of lithium.
Rose hip is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, rose hip might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the clearance of aspirin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C can decrease the urinary excretion of salicylates, increasing plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and aspirin is unlikely.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of warfarin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. High doses of vitamin C may reduce the response to warfarin, possibly by causing diarrhea and reducing warfarin absorption. This occurred in two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C, and resulted in decreased prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily of vitamin C can also reduce warfarin absorption, but this does not seem to be clinically significant. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and warfarin is unlikely.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Nettle4 drug types · 164 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stinging nettle might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that stinging nettle might decrease blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, combining stinging nettle with diuretic drugs may have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stinging nettle has diuretic and natriuretic properties, which could alter the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is some concern that stinging nettle might decrease the effects of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin.
Stinging nettle contains a significant amount of vitamin K. When taken in large quantities, this might interfere with the activity of warfarin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Eyebright1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, eyebright might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that eyebright lowers blood glucose levels.

Aller-Eaz by Herb Stop: Common Questions

Does Aller-Eaz by Herb Stop interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aller-Eaz has a known interaction with 374 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aller-Eaz contains 3 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.
Can I take Aller-Eaz if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Nettle is best avoided during pregnancy, and breastfeeding safety has not been established for either nettle or eyebright. Rose hip safety at supplement doses during pregnancy and lactation is also not well established. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant or nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Nettle may cause constipation or diarrhea. Rose hip is most likely to cause loose stools or flatulence. Eyebright has been reported to cause confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, and respiratory symptoms like cough or congestion, though these are less common.
Does this product actually work for allergies?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate nettle, rose hip, or eyebright for allergic rhinitis (hay fever). The ingredients are traditionally used for allergies, but solid clinical proof is lacking in our records.
What is eyebright used for in this formula?
Eyebright is an herb traditionally used for eye and respiratory comfort. However, like the other ingredients, evidence for its effectiveness in treating allergies is not established in the data we hold.
Can I use eyebright directly in my eyes?
No. While eyebright is likely safe as a small amount of tea taken by mouth, using homemade or non-sterile preparations directly in the eye carries risk. Stick to oral use only.
What's a proprietary blend, and why can't I see exact amounts?
A proprietary blend is a combination of ingredients listed together, with the exact amounts kept confidential by the manufacturer. You know what's in the product, but not the dose of each ingredient.
