HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chive 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: certified organic chive extract. Chive is a culinary herb — a member of the onion family — used in cooking for flavor and as a food source.

The liquid form here uses vegetable glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and purified water as inactive carriers.

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 Chive product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chive'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.

We hold no effectiveness data for chive extract in our records, so we cannot speak to what it may or may not do beyond its use as a food seasoning.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chive

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.

Chive is generally well tolerated when eaten in normal food amounts — the amounts you'd use in cooking. Large amounts consumed orally can cause dyspepsia (indigestion).

On skin, chive has rarely been reported to cause contact dermatitis, mostly in cases of occupational exposure (vegetable handlers). Because this is a concentrated supplement and not a typical food amount, safety data is limited.

The pregnancy and lactation safety profile isn't detailed in our data on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chive

Meds to double-check

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 ingredients we could check in this product.

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.

If you're using chive as a concentrated supplement rather than a cooking ingredient, keep in mind the safety data is sparse. Because you're getting a higher dose than you would from food, it's worth checking in with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this particular product makes sense for you.

Chive by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Chive by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Chive. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chive 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.
Can I take this if I have a sensitive stomach?
Large amounts of chive can cause indigestion. If your stomach is sensitive, start low and see how you do, or talk with your pharmacist first.
Is this safe to use on my skin?
Chive has rarely caused contact dermatitis when applied topically. If you have sensitive skin or work with fresh vegetables regularly, patch-test first.
What's the difference between using chive in food versus this supplement?
This is a concentrated extract — much stronger than the pinch of chives you'd add to a dish. Food amounts of chive are well studied and safe; concentrated supplements aren't, so use cautiously and talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Is this okay to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
We don't have detailed safety data on file for chive extract during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you and your baby.
