HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ban Lan Gen Concentrated Herbal Extract Tea by Prince Gold

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This tea contains two active herbal extracts: Dyers Woad Root Extract and Franchet Groundcherry Calyx Extract. Dyers Woad has been used traditionally in Asian herbal medicine, particularly for throat and respiratory health.

The product also contains glucose as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: immune support and respiratory health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Respiratory tract infections, colds and flu, sore throat, fever.
  • The closest evidence on file: Isatis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections (Natural Medicines).

Dyers Woad Root Extract is rated possibly effective for psoriasis. For respiratory tract infections, prostate cancer, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, and aging skin, the evidence isn't established — we don't have reliable data to say whether it works for those uses.

We hold no effectiveness data for Franchet Groundcherry Calyx Extract.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Isatis

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.

Dyers Woad Root Extract has limited safety data from human use. The safety notes advise against it during pregnancy — there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Similarly, avoid it while breastfeeding because reliable safety data don't exist. Adverse effects haven't been documented in the data we hold, but use beyond the short-term isn't well studied.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Isatis

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredient we could check. However, we couldn't verify the safety profile of Franchet Groundcherry Calyx Extract, so mention this tea to your pharmacist before you start it if you're on any regular medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This tea may interest you if you're exploring traditional herbal support for respiratory health or psoriasis, though evidence for most uses is thin. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or take any medications, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first — especially since we couldn't check one of the two ingredients.
