HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cardamom 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.

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: Cardamom Seed Extract in dry form. The other ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — these are excipients that help deliver and preserve the extract.

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 Cardamom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Cardamom'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 for cardamom isn't established in the data we hold. Studies have looked at it for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, respiratory tract infections, diabetes, indigestion (dyspepsia), epilepsy, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), but there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works for any of these.

If you're thinking about using it for a specific reason, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cardamom

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.

Cardamom at food amounts is generally well tolerated by most people. When you move into concentrated supplement or essential oil doses, the safety picture becomes less clear — the long-term safety of larger medicinal doses isn't well established.

One trial participant reported mild skin inflammation, and there's a case report of chronic hand dermatitis in someone who handled cardamom regularly (skin patch tests were positive for cardamom and its terpenoid compounds). If you have sensitive skin or a history of contact dermatitis, keep that in mind.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Cardamom extract is a no-drug-interaction option if you're on medications. It's generally well tolerated at food doses, though evidence for its health benefits isn't solid yet.

If you're pregnant or taking it in large medicinal amounts, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first — and watch for any skin reactions.

Cardamom by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Cardamom by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Cardamom. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cardamom 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 cardamom safe while breastfeeding?
Yes, cardamom is rated likely safe during lactation in the data we hold. Food amounts are what we have safety information for; if you're considering medicinal doses, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the side effects?
Mild skin inflammation was reported in one trial participant. There's also a case report of chronic hand dermatitis from frequent occupational exposure. Most people using it at food or typical supplement amounts won't experience problems.
Does cardamom actually work for digestion or other conditions?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say. Studies have looked at it for indigestion, fatty liver disease, infections, and other conditions, but we don't have reliable data showing it works. Talk with your pharmacist if you're using it for a specific health reason.
Is this safe to take at high doses?
Food amounts are fine, but avoid concentrated supplement or essential oil doses without medical advice. The safety of larger medicinal doses isn't known. Your pharmacist can help you figure out what's appropriate for you.
Are there fillers in this?
The active ingredient is cardamom seed extract. It also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin — these are inactive ingredients that help preserve and deliver the extract.
