HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Forest Prana Elixir Tincture by Raw Forest Foods
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
This liquid tincture contains 4 active ingredients: stinging nettle root extract, RAW pine pollen extract, green citrus peel extract, and Cape jasmine fruit extract. The product is delivered in a base of water and alcohol.
Stinging nettle root has been studied most — the evidence suggests it may help with diabetes and possibly benign prostate enlargement, though the research is still limited for most other uses. We have very little data on the other three ingredients' effectiveness.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The only ingredient with meaningful evidence is stinging nettle root, which is possibly effective for diabetes. For everything else — hay fever, anemia, asthma, prostate health, gum disease, and the mental alertness claimed for jasmine — the evidence in our data is either insufficient or not established.
If you're considering this tincture for a specific health goal, the evidence is strongest only for blood sugar support, and even that is preliminary. Talk with your doctor about whether it's right for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Stinging nettle is generally well tolerated, though some people report constipation or diarrhea. Rare cases of liver injury have been reported with herbal products containing stinging nettle, usually in multi-ingredient blends.
Stinging nettle is not safe in pregnancy — the safety data advises against it. It is also not safe during breastfeeding; avoid it until you talk with your doctor.
Green citrus peel extract is generally safe as food, but concentrated extracts need caution and medical guidance. Cape jasmine is well tolerated in small amounts, but you should avoid large medicinal doses and undiluted essential oil without your doctor's approval.
Topical contact with jasmine can rarely cause allergic skin reactions.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin), diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), or lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. The stinging nettle in it may interfere with how these drugs work.
Also double-check any sedatives or medications processed by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme, in case the green citrus peel affects them.
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 built mainly around stinging nettle, which has moderate interactions with blood thinners, diabetes drugs, water pills, and lithium — so it's not right for everyone. The other ingredients add little established evidence of benefit.
If you take any prescription medication, especially warfarin, diabetes meds, diuretics, or lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Forest Prana Elixir Tincture by Raw Forest Foods Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Forest Prana Elixir Tincture by Raw Forest Foods contains stinging nettle root extract and green citrus peel extract, both of which interact with medications.
The most serious concern is stinging nettle's potential to reduce the effectiveness of blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin) — stinging nettle is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with how these drugs work.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Stinging nettle also has moderate interactions with three other drug categories. It may add to the effects of diabetes medications and lower blood sugar further, potentially causing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
It may also have additive effects with water pills (diuretics) and with lithium, a mood-stabilizing medication — if you take lithium, your dose might need adjusting. Green citrus peel extract carries only minor interactions with certain sedatives and drugs metabolized by a liver enzyme called CYP3A4; in real-world use, the effect on drug absorption was minimal.
We could not check RAW Pine Pollen Extract for interactions — we hold no data for it. Cape Jasmine Fruit Extract, which is also in this product, has no interactions documented in our data.
Altogether, these interactions span 797 individual medications. Check your exact prescriptions against the search tool on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Forest Prana Elixir Tincture 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.
Green Citrus Peel Extract
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.
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.
Stinging Nettle Root Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, stinging nettle might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that stinging nettle might decrease blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, combining stinging nettle with diuretic drugs may have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.
Lithium
Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stinging nettle has diuretic and natriuretic properties, which could alter the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There is some concern that stinging nettle might decrease the effects of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin.
Stinging nettle contains a significant amount of vitamin K. When taken in large quantities, this might interfere with the activity of warfarin.
