HelloPharmacist Scorecard of E Zhu Non-Alcohol 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

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 1 active ingredient.

E Zhu Non-Alcohol contains one active ingredient: a wild harvested extract of zedoary, a plant root used in traditional herbal medicine. The liquid is made with vegetable palm glycerin and Hawaiian artesian water as inactive ingredients.

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 Zedoary product and its label doesn't state a use — see Zedoary'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 have for zedoary isn't enough to rate whether it works. We hold insufficient reliable evidence for its use in rotaviral diarrhea and high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia).

If you're considering this product for either of those purposes, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Zedoary

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.

Zedoary is used in food in small amounts and is generally well tolerated at those levels, but human safety data for supplement doses is limited. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because of concern that it may affect the uterus.

There isn't enough reliable safety information for breastfeeding either, so it's best avoided if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Zedoary

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 — Zedoary.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 644 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 you take E Zhu Non-Alcohol, double-check any drugs your liver breaks down — especially cancer medications in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor family (lapatinib, sorafenib, gefitinib). The zedoary extract may slow how your body clears them, raising their levels.

Use the medication search tool on this page to check your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

E Zhu may be worth considering if you're drawn to traditional herbal remedies and don't take medications metabolized by CYP3A4 — but that's a big medication class. If you take any regular prescriptions, especially cancer drugs or anything that goes through your liver, check with us first.

Theoretically, zedoary might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In-vitro research shows that a methanol extract of zedoary strongly inhibits the CYP3A4 metabolism of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors lapatinib and sorafenib, and to a lesser extent, gefitinib.

E Zhu Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does E Zhu Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, E Zhu Non-Alcohol has a known interaction with 643 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
E Zhu Non-Alcohol 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 while I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against zedoary in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus and there isn't enough safety information. Talk with your OB or midwife about alternatives.
Is it safe to use while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided while nursing. Chat with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you and your baby.
Does E Zhu really work for diarrhea or high cholesterol?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works for either one. The research just isn't there yet.
What is zedoary, anyway?
It's a plant root used in traditional herbal medicine. You might see it in some ethnic cuisines and cooking, but it's not common in everyday Western food.
Why do I need to check my medications if I take this?
Lab studies show zedoary can slow how your liver breaks down certain drugs, which could raise their levels in your blood. That's especially true for some cancer medications, so it's important to verify your specific prescriptions before starting.
