HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Goji Alcohol Free 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: goji berry extract in dry form. The liquid preparation also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Goji product and its label doesn't state a use — see Goji'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 we hold on goji berry extract is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for sunburn, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, obesity, or quality of life. We don't have reliable clinical data backing its use for these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Goji

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 1 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.

Goji berries are generally well tolerated when used as a food, but concentrated supplements have less safety data behind them. A small number of case reports link goji consumption to liver injury, though in one documented case it's unclear whether goji or other ingredients in a combination product caused the problem.

Allergic reactions have also been reported — symptoms have ranged from swelling of the face and lips to throat tightness and difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis has occurred in rare cases. During pregnancy, avoid medicinal amounts due to limited safety data and traditional reports of effects on the uterus.

There isn't enough reliable data on supplement use while breastfeeding, so caution is advised — talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Goji

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Goji.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,001 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.

Warfarin and other blood thinners (anticoagulants) are the highest concern — this is a Major-severity interaction with documented case reports. Before starting, also check if you take blood pressure medications, flecainide, antidiabetes drugs, or any medication processed by your liver (CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 pathways).

Use the search tool on this page to verify your exact medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, do not start this product without checking with your pharmacist first — the interaction is serious and documented. Anyone on multiple prescription medications should verify their drugs against the interaction checker on this page.

If you've had allergic reactions to goji berries or other supplements before, be cautious. Talk with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or managing a chronic condition with medication.

Goji Berry Extract, Dry8 drug types · 1,000 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Goji can increase the effects of warfarin and possibly increase the risk of bleeding.
There are at least 5 case reports of increased international normalized ratio (INR) in patients stabilized on warfarin who began drinking goji juice, concentrated goji tea, or goji wine. Goji may inhibit the metabolism of warfarin by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9).

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji root bark, but not goji fruit, with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that goji root bark has hypotensive effects. However, goji fruit juice does not appear to reduce systolic or diastolic blood pressure in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C19 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C9 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. Additionally, multiple case reports suggest that goji berry concentrated tea and juice inhibit the metabolism of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C9 substrates.

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

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2D6 and reduce metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2D6 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP3A4 and reduce metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP3A4 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Flecainide (Tambocor)

Theoretically, goji berry might increase the levels and clinical effects of flecainide.
In one case report, a 75-year-old patient stable on flecainide and warfarin presented to the emergency room with fainting and pleomorphic arrhythmia caused by flecainide toxicity. Flecainide toxicity was attributed to drinking 1-2 glasses of concentrated goji tea daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, goji may have inhibited the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolism of flecainide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji fruit polysaccharides or goji root bark with antidiabetes drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research show that goji root bark and fruit polysaccharides might have hypoglycemic effects. However, clinical research has only shown that taking goji fruit polysaccharides with or without antidiabetes drugs modestly reduces postprandial glucose when compared with control, with no reports of hypoglycemia.

Goji Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Goji Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Goji Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 1,000 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?
Goji Alcohol Free 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.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
No — not without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. Goji can increase warfarin's effects and your bleeding risk. We have at least 5 documented cases of this happening. Your prescriber needs to know before you start.
Is goji berry safe during pregnancy?
The safety data is limited and there are traditional reports of uterine effects, so medicinal amounts should be avoided during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What are the side effects?
Goji is generally well tolerated, but allergic reactions have been reported — ranging from mouth and throat itching to facial swelling and difficulty breathing. Very rarely, anaphylaxis has occurred. Liver injury has also been reported in a small number of cases, though it's not always clear if goji alone was responsible.
Does goji berry actually work for high blood pressure or diabetes?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for either condition. While animal and lab studies suggest goji root bark might lower blood pressure, goji fruit juice hasn't been shown to reduce blood pressure in people. For diabetes, the evidence is also not established in humans.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice if you're nursing.
What's in this product besides the goji extract?
The liquid formula also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients. It's alcohol-free.
