HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ginseng Supreme by Gaia Herbs

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
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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.33 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ginseng Supreme contains two active herbal extracts. Eleuthero extract (also called Siberian ginseng) and American ginseng extract make up this liquid formula, delivered in a base of water and alcohol.

The product lists a proprietary extract blend as one of its ingredient components.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“healthy stamina and energy support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) — rated "Possibly Effective" (American Ginseng) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Genital herpes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Eleuthero) (Natural Medicines).

For eleuthero, evidence supports a possibly effective rating for genital herpes; other uses we have data on — familial Mediterranean fever, bipolar disorder, osteoporosis, and chronic fatigue syndrome — lack reliable evidence to rate. For American ginseng, the evidence is possibly effective for upper respiratory tract infections (colds and upper respiratory infections).

Other potential uses listed in the data — anemia of chronic disease and breast cancer — don't have enough reliable evidence to establish effectiveness.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eleuthero American Ginseng

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Eleuthero is generally well tolerated when used short-term, but long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are digestive (diarrhea, nausea, upset stomach), headache, and a rash called urticaria.

Some people — especially at higher doses — report nervousness, anxiety, irritability, or low mood. There's also a report of raised blood pressure in children and cases of rapid heart rate and high blood pressure in patients with existing heart conditions, though it's unclear whether eleuthero or a contaminant was responsible.

American ginseng is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults but quality and dosing vary widely, and long-term safety isn't well studied; headache has been reported. Eleuthero safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

American ginseng also lacks enough safety data — lab research raises concern — so it too should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — American Ginseng, Eleuthero.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 1,147 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 take Ginseng Supreme, check whether you use warfarin or other blood thinners (Major risk); antidiabetes drugs, immunosuppressants, digoxin, or drugs metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C9, or P-glycoprotein systems (Moderate risk); or MAOIs (Moderate risk).

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Ginseng Supreme 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.

Eleuthero extract10 drug types · 1,140 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, eleuthero may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that a constituent of eleuthero, dihydroxybenzoic acid, appears to inhibit platelet aggregation. Concomitant use with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, eleuthero might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that certain constituents of eleuthero have hypoglycemic activity in both healthy and diabetic animals. A small study in adults with type 2 diabetes also shows that taking eleuthero for 3 months can lower blood glucose levels. However, one very small study in healthy individuals shows that taking powdered eleuthero 3 grams, 40 minutes prior to a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test, significantly increases postprandial blood glucose levels when compared with placebo. These contradictory findings might be due to patient-specific variability and variability in active ingredient ratios.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero inhibit CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP2C9. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Eleuthero might increase serum digoxin levels and increase the risk of side effects.
In one case report, a 74-year-old male who was stabilized on digoxin presented with an elevated serum digoxin level after starting an eleuthero supplement, without symptoms of toxicity. After stopping the supplement, serum digoxin levels returned to normal. It is not clear whether this was due to a pharmacokinetic interaction or to interference with the digoxin assay. Although the product was found to be free of digoxin and digitoxin, it was not tested for other contaminants.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, eleuthero might interfere with immunosuppressive drugs because of its immunostimulant activity.
Animal and in vitro research shows that eleuthero extracts have immunomodulatory effects, including increasing cellular and humoral activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eleuthero can inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. However, it is too soon to tell if this is clinically important. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP2D6. However, research in healthy human volunteers has found that taking eleuthero 485 mg twice daily for 14 days does not inhibit CYP2D6 drug metabolism.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP3A4. However, research in healthy human volunteers has found that taking eleuthero 485 mg twice daily for 14 days does not inhibit CYP3A4 drug metabolism.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Theoretically, eleuthero might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by OATP.
In vitro research suggests that eleuthero inhibits OATP2B1, which might reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP2B1. Due to the weak inhibitory effect identified in this study, this interaction is not likely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Eleuthero extract full monograph & interactions

American Ginseng extract4 drug types · 217 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

American ginseng seems to decrease the effectiveness of warfarin therapy.
Healthy patients receiving warfarin 5 mg daily, who also take American ginseng 1 gram twice daily, seem to have a significantly reduced international normalized ratio (INR).

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking American ginseng with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
American ginseng seems to lower postprandial blood glucose. Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might enhance blood glucose lowering effects and possibly cause hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, American ginseng use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
American ginseng seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, American ginseng might decrease the effectiveness of immunosuppressant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

Theoretically, American ginseng can interfere with MAOI therapy.
There is one case report of insomnia, headache, and tremors when an unspecified ginseng product was used with phenelzine (Nardil), an MAOI. There is also one case report of hypomania when an unspecified ginseng product was used with phenelzine. Theoretically, American ginseng may interfere with MAOI therapy.

Ginseng Supreme by Gaia Herbs: Common Questions

Does Ginseng Supreme by Gaia Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ginseng Supreme has a known interaction with 1,146 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ginseng Supreme contains 2 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 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. The safety data for both eleuthero and American ginseng advise against use during pregnancy — lab research raises concerns — and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're considering it at any point around pregnancy or nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Eleuthero most commonly causes diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea, headache, and a rash. Some people report nervousness or anxiety, especially at higher doses. American ginseng may cause headache. Both are generally well tolerated for short-term use.
Does it actually work?
Eleuthero is possibly effective for genital herpes. American ginseng is possibly effective for upper respiratory infections like colds. For other uses listed here, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether they work.
Why is there alcohol in this liquid formula?
The product facts don't say. If alcohol content is a concern for you — for religious, medical, or other reasons — contact the manufacturer or ask your pharmacist about alternatives.
How long can I safely take this?
The facts note that long-term safety data for both ingredients are limited. Both are considered generally well tolerated short-term. Talk with your pharmacist about how long is appropriate for your needs.
Can I take this with my blood thinner?
Not without checking first — especially warfarin. American ginseng in this product appears to make warfarin less effective, and eleuthero may increase bleeding risk. Your pharmacist or doctor needs to review your exact medication.
