HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ashitaba by Sun Potion

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 16, 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 1 active ingredient.

Sun Potion's Ashitaba is a straightforward one-ingredient powder: wild ashitaba. That's it — no fillers or other inactive ingredients listed.

Ashitaba is a leafy green plant used in traditional herbal practice, and this product gives you the dried plant material in powder form.

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 evidence on ashitaba for alcohol-related liver disease is not established in our data — we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it. If you're considering this product for that purpose or another, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research shows and whether it's right for your situation.

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.

Ashitaba is likely safe when used as a food, but safety data for concentrated supplements is limited. The safety data advises against using concentrated ashitaba supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, since there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking 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 taking Sun Potion's Ashitaba, check whether you take any medications that are CYP1A2 substrates (drugs broken down by a specific liver enzyme). Use the search tool on this page to confirm your exact medications, since ashitaba may slow how your body clears them and increase their levels.

If you take any of these drugs, your doctor or pharmacist can advise whether it's safe to combine them with this product.

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.

Ashitaba powder is a single plant-based ingredient that has one documented interaction group affecting a large number of medications. If you take any regular medications — especially those processed by your liver — check them against this product's interaction data before you start.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's appropriate for you.

Ashitaba, Wild1 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.
