HelloPharmacist Scorecard of FeelFit Chews Caramel Flavor by Arbonne

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 30, 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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Arbonne Adaptogen Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

FeelFit Chews contains three active herbal extracts. Codonopsis extract, astragalus extract, and rhodiola extract make up the core formula, typically used in traditional medicine as adaptogens—herbs thought to help your body manage stress.

The product also contains several inactive ingredients (brown rice syrup, cane sugar, palm oil, mono- and diglycerides, natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, and maltodextrin) that serve as sweeteners, binders, and texture agents in the chew format.

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 product facts we hold do not establish effectiveness for any condition. All three active ingredients—codonopsis, astragalus, and rhodiola—carry ratings of Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate across their listed uses (asthma, respiratory infections, diabetes control, anxiety, athletic performance, and others).

This means the evidence currently available is not strong enough to support a claim that they work for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Codonopsis Astragalus Rhodiola

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Codonopsis is generally well tolerated in food-like amounts, though high-quality safety data are limited. Very large doses (30–60 grams) may cause chest pain, arrhythmia, throat pain, or loss of voice; allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and hives have been reported in rare cases.

Astragalus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults but has limited human safety data; reported adverse effects include dizziness, rash, eczema, and (in one trial) angina, though these may not have been caused by the herb. Rhodiola seems well tolerated overall with most users reporting only dizziness or changes in saliva production; long-term safety is not well studied.

None of the three ingredients have adequate safety data in pregnancy or while breastfeeding—the facts advise against use in both situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Codonopsis Astragalus Rhodiola

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Codonopsis, Rhodiola, Astragalus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,323 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 FeelFit Chews, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (codonopsis raises bleeding risk), diabetes medications (all three ingredients may lower blood sugar), blood pressure medications (rhodiola may increase the effect), immunosuppressants (astragalus and rhodiola may interfere), lithium, abiraterone, cyclophosphamide, or losartan. Additionally, if you take any drug metabolized by your liver or transported by P-glycoprotein, rhodiola may alter its levels.

The medication checker on this page can help you verify whether your specific prescriptions interact with any of these herbs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is designed as an adaptogenic herbal blend, but the evidence for its effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. Because all three ingredients interact with multiple drug classes—particularly blood thinners, diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, immunosuppressants, and several others—you should check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before starting.

If you take any prescription medications or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and might lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP2C9. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. Also, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, rhodiola use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro and animal research show that rhodiola has immunostimulatory effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Losartan (Cozaar)

Rhodiola might increase the levels and adverse effects of losartan.
A clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits P-glycoprotein. Theoretically, using rhodiola with P-glycoprotein substrates might increase drug levels and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidepressant Drugs

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with antidepressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of tachyarrhythmias, myalgia, arthralgia, gum pain, restless leg syndrome, swallowing disorders, and changes in consciousness when rhodiola was taken in combination with paroxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, and/or duloxetine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with CNS depressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of excessive sedation, myoclonus, hypotension, and hallucinations when rhodiola was taken with haloperidol, diazepam, or alprazolam.

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

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP1A2. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate.

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

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP3A4. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Rhodiola Extract full monograph & interactions

Codonopsis extract3 drug types · 211 drugs

Abiraterone (Zytiga)

Theoretically, taking codonopsis root with abiraterone might reduce the levels and therapeutic effects of abiraterone.
Animal research in rats shows that intragastric administration of codonopsis root along with abiraterone every 2 days for 2 weeks seems to increase the clearance of abiraterone and reduce the overall exposure and time to maximum concentration. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, codonopsis liquor might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
A small clinical study in adults with coronary heart disease shows that consuming Codonopsis pilosula liquor for 4 weeks inhibits platelet aggregation but does not affect tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI).

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, codonopsis might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory and animal research suggest that codonopsis has antidiabetic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Codonopsis extract full monograph & interactions

Astragalus Extract4 drug types · 208 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking astragalus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research in humans shows that astragalus might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, taking astragalus, especially in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cyclophosphamide

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with cyclophosphamide therapy.
Evidence regarding the effect of astragalus on immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide is conflicting. Some animal research suggests that astragalus reverses cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. However, other animal research shows no effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, astragalus might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that astragalus has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to this diuretic effect, astragalus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

FeelFit Chews Caramel Flavor by Arbonne: Common Questions

Does FeelFit Chews Caramel Flavor by Arbonne interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, FeelFit Chews Caramel Flavor has a known interaction with 1,322 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
FeelFit Chews Caramel Flavor contains 3 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.
Is it safe to take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding for all three active ingredients in this product. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about personalized advice for your situation.
Does this product actually work for stress or anxiety?
The evidence we hold does not establish that these ingredients work for anxiety or stress relief—the ratings are Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate. While they are used traditionally as adaptogens, clinical proof is not available in our data.
What are the most common side effects?
Rhodiola most commonly causes dizziness or changes in saliva production. Astragalus may cause dizziness or skin effects. Codonopsis is generally well tolerated at normal doses, but very large amounts (30–60 grams) may cause chest pain, throat pain, or allergic reactions.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Codonopsis in this product may increase your bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product—do not stop your blood thinner without guidance.
What happens if I take this with diabetes medication?
All three ingredients in this product may lower blood sugar, so combining them with diabetes medications theoretically raises your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and monitor your blood sugar closely.
Does this chew have any fillers or artificial ingredients?
It contains inactive ingredients including brown rice syrup, cane sugar, palm oil, natural flavors, and other binders to create the chew texture. The product does contain added sugars as part of its formulation.
