HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Codonopsis Root Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita

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 16, 2026

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: Codonopsis Root Glycerite Liquid Extract, which is codonopsis root prepared as a concentrated liquid extract. The inactive ingredients are glycerin and strawberry flavor, which are the base and flavoring for the liquid form.

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 Codonopsis product and its label doesn't state a use — see Codonopsis'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 codonopsis is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for asthma, cancer, respiratory tract infections, indigestion (dyspepsia), or high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia).

That means the studies we have either aren't large enough, strong enough, or plentiful enough to say whether it works for these uses—not that it doesn't work, but that we just don't have solid proof yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Codonopsis

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.

Codonopsis is generally well tolerated in traditional food-like amounts, though high-quality safety data are limited. Very large doses—30 to 60 grams—may cause chest pain, heart rhythm problems, throat pain, or voice loss.

Allergic reactions, including severe ones (anaphylaxis) and hives (urticaria), can occur; one case report documented anaphylaxis in an 18-year-old after ingesting 20 grams of codonopsis root, which happened again when he was re-challenged with the same dose. There isn't enough reliable safety information to use this product during pregnancy, so it's best avoided.

Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Codonopsis

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Codonopsis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 211 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 this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin)—codonopsis may raise your bleeding risk. Also check if you're taking abiraterone (Zytiga) for prostate cancer, as codonopsis might reduce how well it works.

If you take diabetes medications, confirm it's okay, since codonopsis may lower blood sugar further.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Codonopsis Root Strawberry Flavor may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. Because it may thin your blood, interfere with certain cancer medications, and lower blood sugar, you should check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should talk with their healthcare provider before using it.

Codonopsis Root Glycerite Liquid Extract3 drug types · 211 drugs

Abiraterone (Zytiga)

Theoretically, taking codonopsis root with abiraterone might reduce the levels and therapeutic effects of abiraterone.
Animal research in rats shows that intragastric administration of codonopsis root along with abiraterone every 2 days for 2 weeks seems to increase the clearance of abiraterone and reduce the overall exposure and time to maximum concentration. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, codonopsis liquor might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
A small clinical study in adults with coronary heart disease shows that consuming Codonopsis pilosula liquor for 4 weeks inhibits platelet aggregation but does not affect tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI).

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, codonopsis might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory and animal research suggest that codonopsis has antidiabetic effects.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Codonopsis Root Strawberry Flavor has a known interaction with 211 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Codonopsis Root Strawberry Flavor 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'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety information to use codonopsis during pregnancy, so it's best avoided. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
What are the side effects?
In food-like amounts, codonopsis is generally well tolerated. Very large doses (30–60 grams) may cause chest pain, heart rhythm problems, throat pain, or voice loss. Allergic reactions, including severe ones (anaphylaxis) and hives, can happen; one case report documented anaphylaxis after 20 grams of codonopsis root.
Does codonopsis actually work for asthma, colds, or digestion?
Our data show insufficient reliable evidence to rate codonopsis for asthma, respiratory infections, indigestion, or high cholesterol. The studies we have aren't large or strong enough to say whether it works for these uses.
What's in this liquid?
The active ingredient is Codonopsis Root Glycerite Liquid Extract. The other ingredients are glycerin (the liquid base) and strawberry flavor.
Is codonopsis safe to use long-term?
Codonopsis is generally considered well tolerated in traditional amounts, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. If you're thinking about using it regularly, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
Can I take this with blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin?
Codonopsis may theoretically increase your bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. A small clinical study showed it does inhibit platelet clumping. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it with these medications.
