HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Citrus Digest by Simply Young

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Citrus Digest Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Citrus Digest contains two active ingredients: lemon and aloe, delivered in a powder form. Lemon is included as a whole food source, while aloe is part of a proprietary blend — the exact dose and form of aloe (gel versus latex, if specified) aren't detailed on the label.

There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Moderate 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

  • Acne via Aloe Possibly Effective
  • Burns via Aloe Possibly Effective
  • Constipation via Aloe Possibly Effective
  • Diabetes via Aloe Possibly Effective
  • Obesity via Aloe Possibly Effective
Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Digestive support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Acne — rated "Possibly Effective" (Aloe) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Burns — rated "Possibly Effective" (Aloe) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Possibly Effective" (Aloe) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Aloe) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Obesity — rated "Possibly Effective" (Aloe) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for lemon's benefit in hay fever, anxiety, respiratory tract infections, high blood pressure, or kidney stones is insufficient — we simply don't have reliable data. Aloe, on the other hand, has preliminary support for acne, weight management, diabetes, psoriasis, burns, and constipation, rated as Possibly Effective.

That said, Possibly Effective means the evidence is promising but not yet conclusive, so results can vary.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Aloe

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.

Lemon as a food is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. Fresh lemon juice taken in larger medicinal doses, however, has caused heartburn and stomach upset in clinical trials — about 21% of people drinking it twice daily reported heartburn, compared to 1% on placebo.

Aloe gel used topically is generally safe, but oral aloe latex carries greater risk, especially long-term. It can cause abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea; serious overuse has led to severe potassium loss, muscle weakness, and heart rhythm problems.

Aloe is not safe in pregnancy — the latex can stimulate the uterus and act as a strong laxative — and should be avoided while breastfeeding due to limited safety data and laxative effects. Lemon's safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established in our data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Aloe

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lemon, Aloe.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 462 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.

Before taking Citrus Digest, check your medications against these types: digoxin or other heart medications (Major risk), blood thinners and warfarin, diabetes drugs, diuretics (water pills), stimulant laxatives, itraconazole (an antifungal), and certain drugs processed by the liver (CYP1A2 substrates). The interaction with digoxin is the most serious.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take a heart medication like digoxin, a blood thinner, diabetes drugs, diuretics, or itraconazole, check with us or your pharmacist before starting Citrus Digest — the aloe and lemon in it may interfere. Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, or prone to stomach upset should be cautious.

We can look up your exact medications in the checker on this page.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Citrus Digest 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.

Aloe7 drug types · 461 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with cardiac glycosides.
Overuse of aloe latex can increase the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycoside drugs, such as digoxin, due to potassium depletion. Overuse of aloe, along with cardiac glycoside drugs, can increase the risk of toxicity.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, aloe gel might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aloe gel can inhibit platelet aggregation. This inhibition was greater than that seen with celecoxib, but less than that seen with aspirin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Aloe might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests aloe gel might lower blood glucose levels and have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretic drugs.
Overuse of aloe latex might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss, increasing the risk of hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with stimulant laxatives.
Due to cathartic laxative effects of aloe latex, concomitant use with other stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Aloe latex has stimulant laxative effects. In some people aloe latex can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of aloe vera.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, aloe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that aloe extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aloe full monograph & interactions

Lemon1 drug type · 1 drug

Itraconazole (Sporanox)

Theoretically, taking itraconazole capsules or tablets with a beverage containing lemon might increase the levels and clinical effects of itraconazole.
In one case report, dissolving itraconazole tablets in a small amount of specific beverages containing lemon prior to administration increased the level of itraconazole in a lung transplant patient. In this case, the increased bioavailability was desirable and was likely due to improved tablet dissolution in the acidic beverage.

Citrus Digest by Simply Young: Common Questions

Does Citrus Digest by Simply Young interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Citrus Digest has a known interaction with 462 medications, including 1 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Citrus Digest contains 2 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.
Can I take Citrus Digest if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Aloe is not safe in pregnancy — the latex can stimulate the uterus and work as a strong laxative — and should be avoided while breastfeeding. We don't have enough data on lemon's safety in pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Will Citrus Digest give me heartburn or stomach upset?
Yes, it's possible. Fresh lemon juice taken in medicinal amounts has caused heartburn in about 21% of people in clinical trials and stomach distress in others. If you have a sensitive stomach, this product might not be the best choice for you.
Does lemon really help with colds and hay fever?
We don't have reliable evidence that lemon works for respiratory infections or hay fever yet. The evidence is insufficient to rate it one way or the other.
Is aloe in this product the same as aloe I'd put on a burn?
Not quite. Aloe gel, like topical products for burns, is generally well tolerated. But when aloe is taken by mouth — as it is in this powder — especially the latex form, it carries more risk of side effects and drug interactions. Oral aloe should be used carefully and not long-term.
What does the proprietary blend mean?
It means the exact amount of aloe in the blend isn't listed separately on the label — you're getting aloe combined with lemon, but the individual doses aren't broken out. That makes it harder to know exactly how much aloe you're taking per serving.
