HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Flexlyn by Princess Lifestyle
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
Low disclosure
Flexlyn contains 9 ingredients in total. The active ones include a proprietary blend—a combination of traditional botanical ingredients—along with dong quai (also called Angelica sinensis), rehmannia glutinosa, and six others: Oriental Ginseng, Eucommia, Pubescent Angelica, Loranthus, Cyathula, and Sichuan Lovage.
Each is included for its traditional use in herbal medicine. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, dicalcium phosphate, and cellulose—all inactive fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for what Flexlyn does isn't established in the data we hold. Dong quai has been studied for iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, migraines, and eczema, but the evidence for all of these is insufficient to rate.
Rehmannia shows possibly effective evidence for chronic kidney disease but insufficient evidence for anemia, atopic disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and diabetic kidney disease. If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dong quai is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth; the most common side effects are burping and flatulence. However, it can increase bleeding risk and cause skin sensitivity to sunlight, so use it with care if you're in the sun.
The safety data advises against taking dong quai during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and affect bleeding, and there isn't enough safety information to use it while breastfeeding. Rehmannia is used in traditional medicine but has limited human safety data and quality varies between products.
There isn't enough safety information to use rehmannia during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so avoid it in both situations.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking Flexlyn, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners—dong quai raises bleeding risk significantly. Also double-check if you're on other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, estrogen-based medications (including hormone replacement therapy), blood pressure medications, or diabetes drugs, as rehmannia and dong quai may affect how these work.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Flexlyn is a multi-ingredient herbal supplement with interactions you'll need to check carefully, especially if you take blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or hormone therapy. If you take any prescription medication—or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product to make sure it's right for you.

For each ingredient in Flexlyn with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Rehmannia glutinosa
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, rehmannia might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that rehmannia may have hypoglycemic effects.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, rehmannia might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that rehmannia may have hypotensive effects. Laboratory research shows that formulations of dried and processed rehmannia root inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).
Dong-Quai
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with warfarin.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of dong quai with warfarin can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case, after 4 weeks of taking dong quai 565 mg once or twice daily, the international normalized ratio (INR) increased to 4.9. The INR normalized 4 weeks after discontinuation of dong quai.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal studies suggest that dong quai has antithrombin activity and inhibits platelet aggregation due to its coumarin components. Additionally, some case reports in humans suggest that dong quai can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. However, clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking 1 gram of dong quai root daily for 3 weeks does not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation or cause bleeding. Until more is known, use dong quai with caution in patients taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs.
Estrogens
Theoretically, dong quai may reduce the effects of estrogens.
Dong quai has estrogenic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of dong quai might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
