HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Artemisinin 100 mg by BIOVEA

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: artemisinin 100 mg, the main compound from the Sweet Annie plant. The other ingredients — rice flour, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — are fillers and binders used to form and hold the capsule together.

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).

The evidence for artemisinin is mixed. For hay fever (allergic rhinitis), the research suggests it's possibly effective.

For fatty liver disease and malaria, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works. For osteoarthritis, the evidence is also not yet established in our data.

If you're considering this for one of those uses, talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports it for your situation.

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.

Artemisinin is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects a small number of people report. There's also a rare risk of liver damage (hepatotoxicity) — one documented case involved someone taking higher doses (600 mg daily) who developed hepatitis symptoms that reversed after stopping the supplement.

Because the safety data advises against it, avoid artemisinin during pregnancy due to possible harm to your developing baby. There isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it then.

A mild allergic reaction (rash and cough) has been reported in one case, and if you're allergic to Sweet Annie, taking it under the tongue may cause numbness or throat itching.

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 artemisinin, check any medications you take for interactions, especially: drugs that are toxic to the liver (hepatotoxic drugs — Moderate risk), and drugs processed by the liver enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 (Moderate risk for both). Use the medication checker on this page with your exact prescriptions.

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.

Artemisinin may be worth considering if you're exploring options for hay fever and want to do more research, but it interacts with a large number of medications and carries a small risk of liver problems. If you take any prescription drugs — especially those that affect the liver or are broken down by your liver — check them against our interaction tool first.

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.

Artemisinin 100 mg by BIOVEA: Common Questions

Does Artemisinin 100 mg by BIOVEA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Artemisinin 100 mg 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?
Artemisinin 100 mg 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 artemisinin safe to take while pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against it because of possible harm to the developing baby. If you're pregnant or planning to be, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
Can I take artemisinin if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before you use it.
What are the most common side effects?
Nausea and vomiting are the most common. Liver damage is rare but has been reported, especially at higher doses or with longer use.
Does artemisinin actually work for hay fever?
The research suggests it's possibly effective for hay fever (allergic rhinitis), but the evidence isn't conclusive yet. For other conditions like fatty liver disease or malaria, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.
What's in this capsule besides the active ingredient?
The capsule contains rice flour, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — these are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
Artemisinin affects how your liver breaks down drugs. Two of the liver's main processing enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2B6) appear to be influenced by artemisinin, and hundreds of medications depend on those same enzymes to work properly or be cleared from your body. That's why checking your specific medications is crucial.
