HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Axulin by Housey

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.

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Axulin contains four ingredients. The active ones are chromium, cichorium, lactuca, and tarragon.

Chromium is a mineral that plays a role in blood sugar regulation and is used when chromium intake from food is low. Cichorium, lactuca (lettuce), and tarragon are plant-based ingredients; tarragon has been studied for nausea relief.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate—which act as binders, fillers, and flow agents to hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Strong 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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support healthy blood sugar and glucose metabolism.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Impaired glucose tolerance (Prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome, Chromium deficiency, Hyperlipidemia, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Chromium is rated "Likely Effective" for Chromium deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chromium is rated "Possibly Effective" for Diabetes.
  • Also on file: Chromium is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Impaired glucose tolerance (Prediabetes).

Chromium is likely effective for treating chromium deficiency and possibly effective for diabetes. For prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance), schizophrenia, and high blood pressure, the evidence rates as possibly ineffective.

Tarragon has been studied for postoperative nausea and vomiting, but the evidence is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for this use. We hold no effectiveness data for cichorium or lactuca in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chromium Tarragon

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chromium is generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, insomnia, irritability, and mood changes.

Rare serious effects—kidney or liver damage, muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), and low platelet counts—have been reported, as have skin rashes and hives. High or long-term doses carry unknown risks, so avoid extra chromium unless your doctor recommends it.

Tarragon has no reported adverse effects, though long-term estragole exposure (a tarragon component) raises theoretical cancer risk in animal studies. During pregnancy, medicinal tarragon should be avoided, though food amounts are likely safe; during breastfeeding, avoid medicinal amounts due to insufficient safety data.

Chromium from balanced diet or prenatal vitamins is generally acceptable, but extra supplement doses should be avoided unless advised by your doctor.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Tarragon, Chromium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 477 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.

Double-check this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, enoxaparin, others)—tarragon may increase bleeding risk. Diabetes or insulin medications need a check too, as chromium can lower blood sugar.

Also flag MAOIs (a class of older antidepressant), CNS depressants (benzodiazepines, barbiturates, antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants), and levothyroxine (thyroid hormone) before you start. NSAIDs and aspirin may raise chromium levels slightly.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Axulin may be an option if you're interested in chromium for blood sugar support or tarragon for nausea, but you'll want to check it against any blood thinners, diabetes medications, thyroid hormone, antidepressants, or sedating drugs you're on. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Axulin with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Tarragon3 drug types · 359 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, tarragon might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Evidence from animal research suggests that tarragon essential oil can cause sedation and motor impairment when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mL/kg. Theoretically, concomitant use of tarragon with CNS depressants, including antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants, may increase sedative and other adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

In vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B enzymes. Theoretically, concomitant use with MAOIs might increase the effects and adverse effects associated with MAOIs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tarragon full monograph & interactions

Chromium5 drug types · 178 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chromium may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some research shows that taking chromium might lower blood glucose levels, especially in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Insulin

Theoretically, concomitant use of chromium and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In clinical research, chromium has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity,

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Chromium might bind levothyroxine in the intestinal tract and decrease levothyroxine absorption.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that taking chromium picolinate 1000 mcg with levothyroxine 1 mg decreases serum levels of levothyroxine by 17% when compared to taking levothyroxine alone. Advise patients to take levothyroxine at least 30 minutes before or 3-4 hours after taking chromium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase chromium absorption.
Animal research suggests that aspirin may increase chromium absorption and chromium levels in the blood.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

NSAIDs might increase chromium levels in the body.
Drugs that are prostaglandin inhibitors, such as NSAIDs, seem to increase chromium absorption and retention.

Axulin by Housey: Common Questions

Does Axulin by Housey interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Axulin has a known interaction with 477 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Axulin 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.
Is chromium safe during pregnancy?
Chromium from food or a prenatal vitamin is generally considered safe. However, extra chromium supplements should be avoided unless your doctor advises it. The safety data on higher doses is limited, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Axulin while pregnant.
Can I take Axulin with my thyroid medication?
Chromium in Axulin may bind levothyroxine (Synthroid) in your gut and reduce how much your body absorbs. One study found a 17% drop in thyroid hormone levels. You'll want to take levothyroxine and this product several hours apart, and your doctor may need to check your thyroid levels. Ask your pharmacist about the best timing.
What are the most common side effects of chromium?
Gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, insomnia, irritability, and mood changes are the side effects most often reported. Skin rashes and hives have also occurred. Serious effects like kidney or liver damage are rare but have been documented, especially at high doses.
Can tarragon really help with nausea?
Tarragon has been studied for postoperative nausea and vomiting, but there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works. If nausea relief is your main reason for considering Axulin, talk to your doctor about proven options first.
Is Axulin safe to take with my blood thinner?
Probably not without checking first. Tarragon in Axulin may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, warfarin, or clopidogrel. You'll need to discuss this with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
