HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Goji Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra
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
Full disclosure
This product has one active ingredient: goji berry extract, dry, the concentrated form of the goji berry. The label's inactive ingredients are glycerin and water, which serve as carriers and are not expected to add active effects.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Every effectiveness rating we hold for goji is Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate. That covers sunburn, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, and quality of life.
In plain terms, the evidence for these uses isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Goji is generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplements have less safety data. Our safety notes advise avoiding medicinal amounts during pregnancy, citing limited safety data and traditional reports of uterine effects.
Breastfeeding has not been studied well enough to say much, so caution is advised. Reported side effects include allergic reactions, with facial swelling, breathing difficulty, itching, and rash, and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) has been reported.
A single case report links goji berry consumption to autoimmune hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by the immune system).
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
The most serious concern is warfarin, rated Major, so anyone on a blood thinner should talk with their own doctor or pharmacist first. Flecainide, blood pressure medicines, and medicines cleared by liver enzymes are rated Moderate.
Blood sugar medicines are rated Minor, with theoretical additive effects. Use the search tool on this page to check 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.
Goji Alcohol Free may interest people who want a liquid goji berry extract, but the evidence for its uses is not established. If you take warfarin, blood pressure medicines, flecainide, medicines cleared by liver enzymes, or blood sugar medicines, be especially careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known allergy, speak with your own healthcare provider before using it.
Educational only — not medical advice; always confirm with your pharmacist. Our editorial policy · How we use AI

Goji Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Goji Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interacts with medications through its goji berry extract, which is its only ingredient.
The most serious interaction is with warfarin (a blood thinner), rated Major: goji can increase warfarin's effects and possibly raise bleeding risk. There are at least 5 case reports of higher INR (a blood-clotting test) in people stable on warfarin who began drinking goji juice, concentrated goji tea, or goji wine.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Several other groups are also documented. Blood pressure medicines (antihypertensives) are rated Moderate, since goji root bark may have additive effects, though goji fruit juice does not appear to lower blood pressure in humans.
Flecainide, a heart rhythm medicine, is rated Moderate because goji may raise its levels, and one case report describes flecainide toxicity after concentrated goji drinks. Medicines cleared by several liver enzymes (cytochrome P450 enzymes) are rated Moderate too, since goji may slow their breakdown, though this has not been reported in humans.
Blood sugar medicines (antidiabetes drugs) are rated Minor, with theoretical additive effects.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,003 individual medications. Every ingredient in this product has been checked against our data.
Look up your exact medications with the search tool on this page, and talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining it with anything you take.

For each ingredient in Goji Alcohol Free with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Goji Berry Extract, Dry
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
