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.

What’s inside

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,120 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Red Raspberry extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: ellagic acid, a polyphenol compound found naturally in berries and other plant foods, and black raspberry powder, which contributes additional plant compounds. The capsule itself is vegetable-based.

Ellagic acid is the main active component here, often studied for potential effects on cell growth and metabolism. Black raspberry adds a whole-food source of similar compounds.

We have no interaction data on file for the red raspberry extract listed in the proprietary blend, so we can't assess whether it adds to the product's profile beyond what ellagic acid and black raspberry provide.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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 what this product can actually do is limited. Ellagic acid is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for bladder cancer, cognitive function, diabetes, melasma, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Black raspberry is also rated as having insufficient evidence for oral cancer, high blood pressure, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome. In plain terms: these ingredients have been studied, but we don't yet have enough reliable data to say whether they work for any particular condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Raspberry Red Raspberry

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 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.

Ellagic acid concentrates are not well studied in humans at supplement doses, so safety data is limited — the product facts recommend caution or avoidance of concentrated forms. In one clinical trial, a combination product containing ellagic acid and another herb caused nausea and diarrhea in a small number of participants, though it's unclear which ingredient was responsible.

Black raspberry is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation when eaten as food, but concentrated supplements lack good safety data. Because ellagic acid itself has no pregnancy and lactation data on file, there isn't enough information to say either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to be.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Black Raspberry Red Raspberry

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 — Ellagic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) such as metformin, glipizide, or insulin, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — ellagic acid may lower blood sugar and increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

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

This product is built around ellagic acid, an ingredient with very limited evidence for the conditions it's studied in and unknown safety at supplement doses. The main medication concern is blood sugar drugs — if you take them, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data; your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide whether to use it.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking red raspberry leaf with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that red raspberry leaf extract has antiplatelet activity and enhances the in vitro effects of the antiplatelet medication cangrelor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Insulin

Red raspberry leaf might reduce glucose levels in patients being treated with insulin.
In one case report, a 38-year-old patient with gestational diabetes, whose blood glucose was being controlled with medical nutrition therapy and insulin, developed hypoglycemia after consuming two servings of raspberry leaf tea daily for 3 days beginning at 32 weeks' gestation. The patient required an insulin dose reduction. The hypoglycemia was considered to be probably related to use of red raspberry leaf tea.

Ellagic Acid by Biotech Nutritions: Common Questions

Does Ellagic Acid by Biotech Nutritions interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ellagic Acid has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ellagic Acid contains 2 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.
Does ellagic acid actually help with diabetes?
The evidence isn't established yet. While some research shows ellagic acid may lower blood sugar levels, we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for managing diabetes itself. That's why it's rated as insufficient evidence for diabetes.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Black raspberry is likely safe during pregnancy and lactation when eaten as food, but we don't have safety data for this concentrated supplement or for ellagic acid at supplement doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you figure out whether it's right for you right now.
What side effects has this caused in trials?
In one clinical trial, a combination product containing ellagic acid and another herb caused nausea and diarrhea in a few participants out of 30. It's not clear whether ellagic acid, the other herb, or the combination was responsible. Otherwise, adverse effects aren't well documented.
Is this product safe in general?
Ellagic acid from food sources is considered safe, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in humans — the product facts advise caution. Black raspberry is generally well tolerated as a food or supplement, though concentrated extracts have less safety data than the whole berry.
Why are the effectiveness ratings all 'insufficient evidence'?
These ingredients have been researched, but the studies so far haven't been large enough or strong enough to prove they work for any specific condition. That doesn't mean they don't work — it means we need better evidence to know for sure.
