HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Angelica Arc. by Wise Woman Herbals

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 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Angelica Arc. is a one-ingredient liquid supplement containing angelica (ashitaba) in a proprietary blend. The product also contains alcohol and spring water as inactive ingredients.

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 Ashitaba product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ashitaba'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 data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate angelica for alcohol-related liver disease. That means research hasn't yet established whether it works for that purpose — not that it doesn't work, just that we don't have the evidence to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ashitaba

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Angelica is likely safe when used as a food, but safety of concentrated supplements hasn't been well studied. The safety data advises against using concentrated angelica supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ashitaba

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Ashitaba.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 186 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 Angelica Arc., double-check any prescription medications you're on that are broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 pathway — this includes certain antidepressants, heart medications, and some pain relievers. If you're not sure whether your drug is affected, run it through the interaction checker on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Angelica Arc. may appeal to someone looking for herbal liver support, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. The bigger concern is its interaction with medications your liver processes.

If you take any prescription drugs, check them against this product first — and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, get personalized advice from your pharmacist.

Angelica1 drug type · 186 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

In vitro research shows that ashitaba extract inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2. Theoretically, concomitant use of ashitaba with CYP1A2 substrates might decrease the clearance of these substrates and increase the risk for adverse effects. However, this interaction has yet to be reported in humans. Until more is known, use with caution.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Angelica Arc. 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.
Is angelica safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against concentrated angelica supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice before you start.
Does this product actually work for liver health?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate angelica for alcohol-related liver disease. That means we don't have enough research data yet to say whether it works for that purpose.
What is ashitaba, and how is it different from regular angelica?
Ashitaba (also called angelica) is the plant species used in this supplement. In our data, it's the same ingredient — the name just reflects the scientific or regional name for the plant.
Does this liquid contain alcohol?
Yes — the product includes alcohol and spring water as inactive ingredients. If you need to avoid alcohol, this may not be the right choice for you.
Can I take this with my heart or antidepressant medication?
Angelica may slow how your liver clears certain heart medications and antidepressants (CYP1A2 substrates), which could raise their levels and increase side effects. Before you start, check your exact medications with the interaction tool on this page or ask your pharmacist.
