HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ban Lan Gen by Hawaii Pharm
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
This product has one active ingredient: isatis tinctoria root extract (also called Ban Lan Gen), a traditional remedy with a long history in herbal medicine. The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin, which help preserve and deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for isatis tinctoria is patchy. It's rated possibly effective for psoriasis — meaning there's some support, but it's not airtight.
For respiratory tract infections, prostate cancer, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, and aging skin, the evidence we hold isn't strong enough to rate it one way or the other. If you're considering it for any of those other uses, that's a conversation to have with your doctor or pharmacist.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Isatis tinctoria has been used short-term in traditional medicine, but human safety data are limited — we don't have a lot of solid information on how it behaves in real people over time. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, skip this product and talk with your doctor about other options.
No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold, though that's not a guarantee none could occur.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. Run your current medications through the search tool on this page to be sure, and let your doctor or pharmacist know you're considering this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Ban Lan Gen is a single-ingredient herbal extract with some traditional use and modest evidence for psoriasis. If you're interested in it for that purpose, and you're not pregnant or breastfeeding, it's reasonable to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist.
Because human safety data are limited, they can help you weigh whether it fits your situation and how long it's safe to take.
