HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dill Seed 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: dill seed extract, dry form, in a liquid base. The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — standard carriers and preservatives for a liquid 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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive health and gas relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: digestive upset, flatulence, colic.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold on dill seed extract rates as insufficient. The data shows it's been studied for aging skin, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), labor pain, and menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), but the evidence isn't strong enough in our records to say whether it works for any of these.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dill

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.

Dill is generally well tolerated when you use it in food amounts. However, concentrated supplements and seed extracts haven't been thoroughly studied at higher doses, so the safety of medicinal amounts isn't well established.

When taken by mouth in food or medicine amounts, dill seems to be tolerated reasonably well, though a complete safety review hasn't been done. A small number of people are allergic to dill; allergic reactions can range from mild (rash, itching, swelling around the eyes) to severe (anaphylaxis with vomiting and diarrhea).

On the skin, dill juice from fresh plants can cause light-sensitive reactions (photodermatosis) or contact dermatitis.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dill

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 — Dill.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 87 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 antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar — Moderate severity) or lithium (risk of lithium buildup — Moderate severity). Both may need dose adjustments.

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.

If you take antidiabetes medications or lithium, talk with your pharmacist before using this product — your doses might need adjusting. Dill is generally well tolerated at food levels, but concentrated medicinal doses aren't well studied.

If you have a known allergy to dill or related plants, skip it.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dill extract might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Dill is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, dill might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Dill Seed by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Dill Seed by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dill Seed has a known interaction with 87 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dill Seed 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 dill seed extract safe to use while pregnant?
The safety data rates it as possibly unsafe in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant — they can weigh the risks for your situation.
Can I use this if I'm breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for dill seed extract during breastfeeding. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.
Does dill seed extract really work for high cholesterol or skin aging?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say it works for either of those. Our data rates both as insufficient evidence, so we can't confirm a benefit.
What if I'm allergic to dill?
Skip this product. Some people have had allergic reactions ranging from mild rash and itching to severe reactions like anaphylaxis. If you think you're allergic to dill or related plants, avoid it entirely.
Is this safe to use at the doses in food?
Yes — dill is generally well tolerated in food amounts. But this is a concentrated extract, so the medicinal safety hasn't been well studied. That's why we recommend getting your doctor's okay before using concentrated supplements.
