HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fraxinus by Hawaii Pharm

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

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Fraxinus Bark Extract in dry form. Fraxinus is the botanical name for ash tree.

The liquid formulation also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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

This is a single-ingredient Ash product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ash's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for Fraxinus Bark Extract to support weight loss is insufficient. We don't have reliable data showing it works for obesity, so we can't rate its effectiveness for that purpose at this time.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ash

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Fraxinus Bark Extract is likely fine in the amounts you'd get from food, but medicinal use doesn't have strong safety data behind it. The safety information available isn't robust enough to give you a clear picture of how well it's tolerated when used as a supplement.

This product should be avoided during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety information to know it's okay for your baby. It should also be avoided while breastfeeding for the same reason: we don't have reliable safety data for nursing infants.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ash

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Ash.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 258 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 you start, double-check this product with your pharmacist if you take any blood pressure medications or diabetes drugs. Both have Moderate-severity interactions with this extract, and dosage adjustments might be needed.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Fraxinus Bark Extract may be worth considering if you're interested in its traditional uses, but the evidence for weight loss is thin. If you take blood pressure or diabetes medications, this product isn't a casual add-on — check with your pharmacist first.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it until you've talked with your doctor.

Fraxinus Bark Extract, Dry2 drug types · 258 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might affect glucose control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary. Animal research shows that ash seed/fruit extract reduces fasting levels of glucose. Although clinical research in patients without diabetes shows that ash seed/fruit extract does not significantly affect blood glucose levels, insulin levels, or homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), it may lower the incremental glucose area under the curve and decrease 2-hour blood glucose following an oral glucose tolerance test. Ash seed/fruit extract has not been evaluated in patients with diabetes. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking antidiabetes drugs.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of ash seed with antihypertensive drugs might have additive blood pressure lowering effects. Animal research shows that ash seed extract can decrease blood pressure. This effect has not been evaluated in humans. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking antihypertensive drugs.
Some antihypertensive drugs include nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan), diltiazem (Cardizem), isradipine (DynaCirc), felodipine (Plendil), amlodipine (Norvasc), and others.

Fraxinus by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Fraxinus by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fraxinus has a known interaction with 258 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Fraxinus contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Does Fraxinus Bark Extract actually help with weight loss?
The evidence isn't established in the data we have. We can't rate how well it works for obesity, so we don't know yet whether it'll help you lose weight.
Is it safe to use this while I'm on blood pressure medication?
There's a concern here. Animal research shows ash seed extract can lower blood pressure, so taking it alongside your medication could drop your pressure too low. You'll need to talk with your pharmacist or doctor first — they may want to monitor you closely or adjust your dose.
What if I have diabetes and take insulin or other diabetes drugs?
This extract appears to lower blood sugar based on animal studies, which could add to the effect of your diabetes medication and risk dropping your blood sugar too low. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication dose. Check with your pharmacist before starting.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety information for either. It's best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What's in the liquid besides the extract?
The formulation includes alcohol, water, and glycerin to deliver the ash bark extract in liquid form.
Does Fraxinus Bark Extract have any documented side effects?
We don't have adverse effects data on file for this ingredient. The safety information available is limited, so we don't have a clear picture of what side effects might occur with medicinal use.
