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. Nettle is included for its traditional use in conditions ranging from diabetes to allergies, though evidence varies by use.
Cape jasmine and green citrus (tangerine) are added for flavor and aroma, though their roles as active components aren't well established. RAW Pine Pollen rounds out the blend.
The tincture is suspended in purified water and alcohol as inactive carriers.
Does it work?
Not established
Nettle has the strongest evidence here — it's rated possibly effective for diabetes and may help lower blood glucose. For nettle's other traditional uses (hay fever, anemia, asthma, benign prostate enlargement, and gum inflammation), the evidence isn't reliable enough to rate.
Cape jasmine and green citrus don't have established evidence for their effects on mental alertness or cancer prevention. We hold no effectiveness data for pine pollen.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Nettle is generally well tolerated when used as directed, though constipation or diarrhea can occur. Touching the fresh plant causes itching and rash; swallowing a fresh leaf has caused severe tongue swelling in rare cases.
Avoid nettle in pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data and traditional concerns about uterine effects exist — and avoid it while breastfeeding until you talk with your doctor. Cape jasmine from food sources (like tea) is generally well tolerated, but the concentrated essential oil shouldn't be swallowed and can irritate skin or cause allergic reactions in sensitive people.
Green citrus as fruit is safe to eat, but concentrated extracts and essential oils are less studied and warrant caution. Jasmine and tangerine essential oil can cause allergic contact dermatitis.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications if you take blood thinners like warfarin, diabetes drugs, diuretic (water) pills, or lithium — these have Moderate interactions with nettle. Also double-check if you're on sedatives or drugs metabolized by the liver (like midazolam), which have Minor interactions with the tangerine in this product.
No interactions are documented for the cape jasmine or pine pollen we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is best for someone interested in nettle for blood-sugar support who doesn't take blood thinners, diabetes medications, diuretics, or lithium — and is not pregnant or breastfeeding. If you take any prescription medication, check it against our interaction tool below before starting.
Talk to your pharmacist if you're unsure whether it's right for you.

Forest Prana Elixir Tincture by Raw Forest Foods Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Forest Prana Elixir Tincture by Raw Forest Foods contains nettle, which interacts with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin) — nettle is rich in vitamin K, which can reduce how well these drugs work when you take large amounts.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Nettle also has Moderate interactions with diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), and lithium. With diabetes drugs, nettle may lower your blood sugar further.
With diuretics and lithium, nettle's own diuretic effect may combine with the medication's action — your lithium dose might need adjusting. Green citrus (tangerine) in this product has Minor interactions with certain sedatives and drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes, though human evidence suggests the effect is small.
Cape jasmine (one of the four ingredients) shows no interactions in our data. We could not check RAW Pine Pollen — no interaction data is available for it.
Altogether, these interactions span 785 individual medications.

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
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.
Nettle
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.
