HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Balance by Country Life Gut Connection

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Digestive Balance contains four active ingredients. Actazin is a concentrated kiwi extract; the others are EpiCor, PreticX, and Benegut (perilla).

The product also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, rice bran extract, vegetable glaze, sunflower oil, and silica — that help form and stabilize the capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: improve digestive health and gut microbiota.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Gut barrier function, Microbiome balance, Bowel regularity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Perilla is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Kiwi is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The evidence for what these ingredients do isn't established in the data we hold. Actazin (kiwi) is listed as having insufficient reliable evidence for asthma, constipation, high blood pressure, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Benegut (perilla) also shows insufficient reliable evidence across several conditions including age-related cognitive decline, hay fever, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, and headache. We couldn't rate EpiCor and PreticX because we don't have effectiveness data on file for them.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Kiwi Perilla

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.

Kiwi (Actazin) is generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplements haven't been well studied. Some people have allergic reactions to kiwi — anything from itching and swelling of the lips and mouth to hives, vomiting, and rarely severe reactions like anaphylaxis or asthma flare-ups.

Perilla (Benegut) is also generally well tolerated orally, though anaphylaxis has been reported with perilla seeds and occupational asthma from inhaling roasted seed smoke. For pregnancy and breastfeeding: kiwi is likely safe, but perilla should be avoided at medicinal doses because there isn't enough safety data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Kiwi Perilla

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 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Kiwi.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take any blood pressure medications (Moderate interaction with kiwi) or blood thinners including warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or heparin (Moderate interaction with kiwi). We hold no interaction data yet for EpiCor and PreticX.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood pressure medication or blood thinners, check with your pharmacist before starting this product — the kiwi in it could affect how those drugs work. If you have a history of kiwi or perilla allergies, skip it.

Otherwise, talk to your pharmacist about whether it's right for you and your current medications.

Actazin2 drug types · 289 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Clinical research suggests that kiwi inhibits platelet aggregation. Theoretically, kiwi might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Clinical research suggests that consuming kiwi reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Theoretically, concomitant use of kiwi and antihypertensive drugs may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with drugs that lower blood pressure. These include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.

Digestive Balance by Country Life Gut Connection: Common Questions

Does Digestive Balance by Country Life Gut Connection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Digestive Balance has a known interaction with 289 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestive Balance contains 4 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.
Is this safe if I have a kiwi allergy?
No — skip it. Actazin is concentrated kiwi, and allergic reactions to kiwi can range from mouth itching to severe swelling, vomiting, and in rare cases anaphylaxis. If you're allergic to kiwi, this product isn't for you.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The kiwi in this product is likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the perilla ingredient (Benegut) should be avoided at medicinal doses during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before starting.
What are the main side effects I should watch for?
Kiwi is generally well tolerated, but some people experience allergic reactions affecting the lips, mouth, and throat — itching, swelling, hives, or vomiting. Perilla is also generally well tolerated, though anaphylaxis and occupational asthma have been reported. Stop and get medical help if you have any signs of a serious allergic reaction.
Does this actually work for digestive issues?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Both the kiwi and perilla in this product have insufficient reliable evidence for the digestive and other conditions they're used for — we simply don't have strong research yet on whether they help.
Why can't you check EpiCor and PreticX for interactions?
We don't hold monograph data on those ingredients yet, so we can't say whether they interact with medications. That doesn't mean they're safe or unsafe — just that we haven't checked them. Your pharmacist can help research those if you need more information.
