HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Angelica Dang Gui Teapills by Plum Flower

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,360 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains four active ingredients as a proprietary extract blend. Angelica sinensis root (also called Dong Quai) is the lead component, traditionally used in Chinese medicine.

The blend also includes Ziziphus jujuba fruit, Ligusticum chuanxiong rhizome, and Atractylodes macrocephala rhizome—all botanical extracts meant to work together. The pill also contains inactive ingredients (fillers and binders): maltose, hydrated magnesium silicate, activated carbon, and china wax.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well this product works. Angelica sinensis has been studied for iron-deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, migraines, and eczema, but the data are insufficient to rate its effectiveness for any of these.

Atractylodes has similarly insufficient evidence for loss of appetite, muscle wasting, lung cancer, colds, and diarrhea. We have no effectiveness ratings on file for the other two ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dong Quai Zizyphus Atractylodes

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.

Dong quai is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though some people report burping and flatulence. Rarely, it's caused allergic asthma and rhinitis.

Importantly, it may increase bleeding risk and can make your skin sensitive to sunlight, so use it cautiously. Dong quai is not safe in pregnancy—it may stimulate the uterus and affect bleeding.

Avoid it while breastfeeding; there isn't enough safety data. Atractylodes also should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Human safety data for atractylodes are limited, so use it only under guidance. It may cause allergic reactions, dry mouth, or nausea.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dong Quai Zizyphus Atractylodes

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Zizyphus, Dong Quai, Atractylodes.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,015 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.

Check before starting if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner or antiplatelet drug—Dong Quai and atractylodes both raise your bleeding risk (Major for warfarin, Moderate for others). Also double-check if you take estrogen therapy, aromatase inhibitors, hexobarbital, or drugs your liver metabolizes, especially at high doses.

Run your medications through the tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is not suitable if you take warfarin or other blood thinners—the bleeding risk is real. If you're on estrogen therapy, a cancer drug, or any sedative, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Avoid it.

If you have no medication concerns and aren't pregnant, a pharmacist can help you weigh whether this is right for you.

Atractylodes macrocephala Rhizome Extract5 drug types · 801 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylenolides II and III, constituents of atractylodes, reduce platelet activation. So far, this has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aromatase Inhibitors

Theoretically, atractylodes may have an additive effect when used with other aromatase inhibitors.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylodes and its constituents exhibit aromatase inhibitor effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hexobarbital

Theoretically, taking atractylodes may prolong the therapeutic and adverse effects of hexobarbital.
In animals, atractylodes has been shown to prolong the effects of hexobarbital. These effects have not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, atractylodes might decrease the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to induce CYP1A2 activity. This effect has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to inhibit CYP3A1 activity, which is a homolog to the human CYP3A4 enzyme. This effect has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Atractylodes macrocephala Rhizome Extract full monograph & interactions

Ziziphus jujuba Fruit Extract3 drug types · 469 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, zizyphus might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that zizyphus has hypoglycemic activity. However, a small clinical study shows that zizyphus fruit powder does not reduce fasting blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, zizyphus might cause additive sedative effects when taken with CNS depressants.
Some animal research has found that various parts of zizyphus have sedative effects. However, other animal research shows that zizyphus plant extract does not alter sleep parameters when used in combination with pentobarbital.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, zizyphus might decrease the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Animal research shows that zizyphus induces CYP1A2 enzymes. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ziziphus jujuba Fruit Extract full monograph & interactions

Angelica sinensis Root Extract3 drug types · 163 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with warfarin.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of dong quai with warfarin can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case, after 4 weeks of taking dong quai 565 mg once or twice daily, the international normalized ratio (INR) increased to 4.9. The INR normalized 4 weeks after discontinuation of dong quai.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal studies suggest that dong quai has antithrombin activity and inhibits platelet aggregation due to its coumarin components. Additionally, some case reports in humans suggest that dong quai can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. However, clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking 1 gram of dong quai root daily for 3 weeks does not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation or cause bleeding. Until more is known, use dong quai with caution in patients taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, dong quai may reduce the effects of estrogens.
Dong quai has estrogenic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of dong quai might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.

Angelica Dang Gui Teapills by Plum Flower: Common Questions

Does Angelica Dang Gui Teapills by Plum Flower interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Angelica Dang Gui Teapills has a known interaction with 1,014 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Angelica Dang Gui Teapills contains 4 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 this if I'm on warfarin?
No—not without talking to your doctor first. Dong quai in this product can significantly increase warfarin's blood-thinning effect and your bleeding risk. Case reports show this can happen within weeks.
What does Dong Quai do?
Angelica sinensis (Dong Quai) is a traditional Chinese herb used for various conditions like anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, and migraines. But we don't have enough evidence to confirm how well it actually works for any of them.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No to both. Dong quai may stimulate the uterus and affect bleeding during pregnancy, so it's not safe. There isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding either. Talk to your doctor if you're planning pregnancy or are nursing.
What side effects might I get?
Most commonly, burping and flatulence. Rarely, it can cause an allergic reaction, dry mouth, nausea, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. Atractylodes may also trigger those reactions. Because atractylodes' safety in humans is limited, use it cautiously.
Can I take this with estrogen therapy?
Theoretically, Dong Quai may interfere with estrogen therapy by competing for the same receptors in your body. Talk to your pharmacist before starting if you take hormone replacement therapy.
