HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Five Seed Teapills Wu Ren Wan by Plum Flower

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 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,360 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Five Seed Teapills contains 6 active ingredients, mostly seed extracts blended together in a proprietary formula. The blend includes tangerine peel extract, apricot seed extract, peach seed extract, Oriental arborvitae extract, Japanese apricot seed extract, and pine seed extract.

You'll also find inactive ingredients — dextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium silicate — which are just fillers and binders that help hold the tablet 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

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.

We don't have effectiveness ratings established in our data for the ingredients in this product. The only claim we found evidence for was tangerine peel and cancer, which has insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

If you're using this product for a specific condition, your pharmacist or herbalist can tell you what the traditional or clinical evidence suggests for your particular situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tangerine Apricot Oriental Arborvitae

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 2 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.

Tangerine peel extract, when used as a concentrated supplement (rather than as whole fruit), should be used with caution and medical advice — the safety of concentrated extracts hasn't been thoroughly studied. Apricot as a food is fine, but the concentrated supplement form hasn't been well studied; apricot kernels especially should be avoided.

Oriental arborvitae is the ingredient that needs the most attention. It contains thujone, a compound that at high doses or with long-term use may cause restlessness, vomiting, dizziness, tremors, kidney damage, hallucinations, and convulsions.

Safety data for this plant are limited, and it should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We have no safety data on file for the peach seed, Japanese apricot seed, or pine seed extracts in this formula.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tangerine Apricot Oriental Arborvitae

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Tangerine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • 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.

Minor interactions are documented with sedatives and anesthetics metabolized by CYP3A4, such as midazolam (Versed). We could not check interactions for peach seed, Japanese apricot seed, or pine seed extracts because we hold no data for them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This traditional Chinese herbal blend is generally well tolerated, but Oriental arborvitae is the main concern — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to use it long-term. If you take any medications, check them against this product first, and talk to your pharmacist or herbalist before starting, particularly if you're on sedatives or expecting.

Citrus reticulata Peel Extract2 drug types · 643 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

In vitro, tangeretin, a constituent of tangerine, induces a 52% increase in the metabolism of midazolam by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). This suggests that tangeretin may stimulate CYP3A4 activity. However, in humans, drinking tangerine juice 200 mL slightly delayed the absorption, but did not affect the metabolism, of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate. Theoretically, tangerine juice might increase CYP3A4 activity and decrease levels of drugs metabolized by this enzyme. However, this effect is unlikely.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include amitriptyline (Elavil), amiodarone (Cordarone), citalopram (Celexa), felodipine (Plendil), lansoprazole (Prevacid), ondansetron (Zofran), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), sertraline (Zoloft), sibutramine (Meridia), and many others.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Midazolam (Versed)

In vitro, tangeretin, a constituent of tangerine, appears to increase the metabolism of midazolam in human liver microsomes by up to 52%. However, in humans, drinking tangerine juice 200 mL slightly delayed the absorption, but did not affect the metabolism, of midazolam. Theoretically, tangerine juice might increase the metabolism and reduce the effects of midazolam. However, this effect is unlikely.

Does Five Seed Teapills Wu Ren Wan by Plum Flower interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Five Seed Teapills Wu Ren Wan 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?
Five Seed Teapills Wu Ren Wan contains 6 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 this safe to take while I'm pregnant?
Oriental arborvitae, one of the ingredients, is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and is traditionally avoided; the safety data are simply too limited. Apricot seed is fine as food but hasn't been studied as a concentrated supplement. Talk with your obstetrician or pharmacist before taking this product while pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Oriental arborvitae should be avoided while breastfeeding — there's no reliable safety information for it. Apricot seed is fine as food but isn't well studied as a supplement. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if this product is right for you while nursing.
What is Oriental arborvitae, and why does it worry you?
Oriental arborvitae is a plant extract that contains thujone, a compound that can cause serious side effects at high doses or with long-term use — including vomiting, dizziness, tremors, kidney damage, and even hallucinations. Human safety data are limited, which is why caution is especially important.
What are these seeds supposed to do?
This is a traditional Chinese herbal blend called Wu Ren Wan, or Five Seed formula. We don't have established effectiveness ratings in our data for what it's meant to treat. Your herbalist or pharmacist can tell you more about the traditional uses and any clinical evidence behind it.
Will this make my other medications less effective?
Tangerine peel extract may slightly affect how your body processes certain sedatives like midazolam, but human studies show the effect is minimal. Other ingredients in this blend we couldn't fully check for interactions. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drugs to be sure.
