HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Artemisia Supreme by Supreme Nutrition Products

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.

Artemisia Supreme is a single-ingredient product: sweet wormwood (also known as sweet annie). The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inactive ingredient.

Sweet wormwood has been studied for allergies and liver disease, though the evidence for these uses varies. It contains artemisinin, a compound that's been investigated for malaria and other conditions.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Sweet Annie's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Sweet Annie for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Sweet wormwood is possibly effective for allergic rhinitis (hay fever). For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, malaria, and osteoarthritis, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.

We're not saying it does or doesn't — just that the data isn't strong enough to tell.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Annie

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.

Taken by mouth, sweet wormwood is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are nausea and vomiting.

In rare cases, it may cause liver damage (hepatotoxicity); one documented case involved a patient who developed hepatitis after taking a related compound at high doses, with symptoms that resolved after stopping. A mild allergic reaction (rash and cough) has been reported once.

If you take this product sublingually (under the tongue) and are allergic to it, you may experience numbness of the tongue or throat itching. Sweet wormwood should not be used during pregnancy because of possible harm to a developing baby.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance. This product is meant for short-term use and should not replace proven treatments.

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 — Sweet Annie.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 890 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 Artemisia Supreme, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any hepatotoxic drugs (medications that stress the liver), or any drug broken down by the liver enzymes CYP3A4 or CYP2B6. This includes many common prescriptions across heart, immune, and nervous system medications.

The enzyme effects are unpredictable — sweet wormwood might raise or lower drug levels — so your specific medications need review.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Artemisia Supreme might help with allergic rhinitis, but the evidence for other uses is thin or unclear. The main caution is its interaction with liver-damaging drugs and drugs processed by your liver — that's a conversation to have with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

It's not for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and short-term use is recommended.

Sweet Wormwood3 drug types · 889 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Sweet Annie may alter plasma levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that the Sweet Annie constituent artemisinin induces CYP2B6, possibly increasing CYP2B6 activity by 1.6-fold. However, Sweet Annie extract seems to inhibit the activity of CYP2B6 in vitro, suggesting that other constituents of Sweet Annie play a role in its effects on the overall activity of this enzyme. More information is needed to determine whether taking Sweet Annie extract affects the metabolism of CYP2B6 substrates.

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

Sweet Annie may alter plasma levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that the Sweet Annie constituent artemisinin induces CYP3A4, possibly increasing CYP3A4 activity by 1.9-fold. However, Sweet Annie extract seems to inhibit the activity of CYP3A4 in vitro, suggesting that other constituents of Sweet Annie play a role in its effects on the overall activity of this enzyme. More information is needed to determine whether taking Sweet Annie extract affects the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use might have additive adverse hepatotoxic effects.
There is some concern that Sweet Annie can adversely affect the liver.

Artemisia Supreme by Supreme Nutrition Products: Common Questions

Does Artemisia Supreme by Supreme Nutrition Products interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Artemisia Supreme has a known interaction with 889 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Artemisia Supreme 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — sweet wormwood should be avoided during pregnancy because of possible harm to the developing baby. There isn't enough safety information during breastfeeding either, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it if you're nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Nausea and vomiting are the most common. Rare cases of liver damage have been reported, and one mild allergic reaction (rash and cough) has been documented. If you take it under the tongue and are allergic to it, you may notice numbness of the tongue or throat itching.
Does it actually work for hay fever?
Sweet wormwood is possibly effective for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), which means some evidence suggests it may help, but it's not proven. It shouldn't replace your main allergy treatment without talking to your doctor first.
Why does it interact with so many medications?
Sweet wormwood can affect how your liver breaks down drugs through two major enzyme systems (CYP3A4 and CYP2B6). These enzymes process hundreds of different medications — blood pressure drugs, heart medications, birth control, steroids, and many others — so the interactions add up quickly.
Is this safe for long-term use?
No — this product is meant for short-term use only. Quality and dose vary widely between products, and you shouldn't use it to replace proven treatments. Talk with your doctor about how long you should take it.
