HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Double Strength Clinical Resveratrol by OL Olympian Labs Incorporated

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: Japanese Knotweed (also known as Hu Zhang), a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, rice flour, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica — which serve as fillers and binders to hold the supplement together.

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 Hu Zhang product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hu Zhang'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 we hold on Japanese Knotweed doesn't establish how well it works for the conditions it's used for — hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, wound healing, gout, osteoarthritis, and unstable angina all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means large, well-designed human studies haven't been done or published yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hu Zhang

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Japanese Knotweed is used in traditional medicine, but safety data in humans is limited. The herb contains a compound called emodin, which may cause digestive upset in some people.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Hu Zhang

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 — Hu Zhang.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 827 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 take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — Japanese Knotweed may increase bleeding risk. Also flag any seizure medications, particularly carbamazepine; any drugs your liver breaks down through CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, or CYP2E1 pathways; and any estrogen replacement therapy.

Altogether, these interactions span 827 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This single-ingredient supplement may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional uses of Japanese Knotweed — but the effectiveness evidence isn't established in our data. The bigger question is whether it's safe for you alongside your other medications, especially blood thinners, seizure drugs, or hormone therapy.

Have a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation before you start.

Japanese Knotweed7 drug types · 826 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. Resveratrol seems to have antiplatelet effects.

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

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2C19 enzyme. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2E1 enzyme. Also, a pharmacokinetic study shows that taking resveratrol 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to taking a single dose of chlorzoxazone 250 mg increases the maximum concentration of chlorzoxazone by about 54%, the area under the curve of chlorzoxazone by about 72%, and the half-life of chlorzoxazone by about 35%. Chlorzoxazone is used as a probe drug for CYP2E1.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme. However, a clinical study in adults with NAFLD found that adding resveratrol 3000 mg daily for 8 weeks did not necessitate dose adjustments to any established medications metabolized by CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, hu zhang might competitively inhibit the effects of estrogen replacement therapy.
In vitro research shows that hu zhang might have estrogenic activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the effects and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
In animals, blood and tissue levels of carbamazepine were increased when given in combination with hu zhang. It is thought that increased levels of carbamazepine are due to cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibition. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

What is Japanese Knotweed and what is it supposed to do?
Japanese Knotweed, also called Hu Zhang, is a plant used in traditional herbal medicine. This product contains resveratrol, the active compound from that plant.

What side effects should I watch for?
The main caution is that Japanese Knotweed's emodin content may cause digestive upset. Beyond that, side effect data from human studies isn't available in our records. If you notice anything unusual after starting it, mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.
Will this interact with my blood thinner?
Yes — Japanese Knotweed may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin. Before you start this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe to use alongside your specific medication.
Does this product contain any fillers?
