HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ellagic Active 300 mg by Source Naturals

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.
  • “Raspberry leaf extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (300 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ellagic Active 300 mg contains one active ingredient: ellagic acid at 300 mg per dose. Ellagic acid is a plant compound (polyphenol) found in berries and other fruits.

The tablet also includes inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, modified cellulose gum, and silica — that help form and bind the tablet.

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: antioxidant support and DNA integrity.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate ellagic acid for bladder cancer, cognitive function, diabetes, melasma, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). While the research is ongoing, we don't yet have solid proof it works for any of these uses at supplement doses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ellagic Acid

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.

Ellagic acid from food sources is generally considered safe, but concentrated supplements haven't been well studied in humans. The safety data on supplement doses is limited, so concentrated supplements are best avoided until we know more.

In one clinical trial, a combination of ellagic acid and graviola caused nausea and diarrhea in a small number of participants, though it's unclear whether ellagic acid alone, graviola, or the combination was responsible. There isn't enough safety information on file for this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ellagic Acid

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 — 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) like metformin, check your exact medications with the search tool before starting this product and talk with your doctor or pharmacist — ellagic acid may lower blood sugar and increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

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.

Ellagic Active may interest you if you're curious about this plant compound, but the evidence for its effectiveness is still developing. If you take blood sugar medication, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first, since ellagic acid might lower blood sugar further.

Because concentrated supplements of ellagic acid aren't well studied, discuss whether this product makes sense for you with your own healthcare provider.

Ellagic Active 300 mg by Source Naturals: Common Questions

Does Ellagic Active 300 mg by Source Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ellagic Active 300 mg has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ellagic Active 300 mg 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.
What exactly is ellagic acid?
Ellagic acid is a natural plant compound (polyphenol) found in berries, pomegranates, and other fruits. This product gives you a concentrated 300 mg dose, much more than you'd get from eating the fruit itself.
Can I take this if I have type 2 diabetes or take blood sugar medication?
That's something to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist first. Research shows ellagic acid can lower blood sugar levels in people on stable doses of diabetes medications — which sounds helpful, but it could increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if not monitored. Your healthcare provider needs to know your exact situation and medications.
Does ellagic acid actually work for any of these conditions?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for bladder cancer, cognitive function, diabetes, melasma, or PCOS. That means the research is still developing — we don't yet have solid proof it works for these uses at supplement doses.
What side effects should I watch for?
In one clinical trial, a combination product containing ellagic acid and graviola caused nausea and diarrhea in a small number of people, though it's unclear which ingredient (or the combination) was responsible. Concentrated ellagic acid supplements haven't been well studied overall, so the full picture of side effects isn't known.
Is it safe to take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information on file to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
