HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grace by Flower Essence Services

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 9 active ingredients.
  • “infusions of flowers of” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Grace contains 9 ingredients, most of them flower essences from lily family plants. The active ingredient we have data for is star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum), which contains cardiac glycosides—naturally occurring compounds that affect heart function.

The product also includes American Adder's Tongue (Erythronium purpurascens) and several Calochortus and Lilium species, along with essential oil of damask rose. The inactive ingredients are water and brandy, which serve as the liquid base.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

We hold no effectiveness data for any ingredient in Grace. The evidence for whether this product works for its intended purpose isn't established in the information available to us.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Star Of Bethlehem American Adder's Tongue

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 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.

Star of Bethlehem carries real safety concerns. It's toxic if eaten whole, and while commercial flower essences are very dilute, they lack good safety studies.

The cardiac glycosides it contains can cause serious heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias), headaches, visual color disturbances, and in rare cases, death. American Adder's Tongue has very limited human safety data; when the plant is eaten, it can cause stomach upset or vomiting.

During pregnancy, star of Bethlehem is rated unsafe, and there isn't enough safety information on American Adder's Tongue to know either way—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. Breastfeeding is not recommended with either ingredient, as safety data are either absent or advise against it.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 156 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 taking Grace, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take digoxin (Lanoxin) or any heart medication with cardiac effects. Also confirm your use if you're on water pills (diuretics), long-term corticosteroids, macrolide or tetracycline antibiotics, stimulant laxatives, or quinine.

Altogether, these interactions span 156 individual medications.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Grace contains 9 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 star of Bethlehem safe to take by mouth?

No—star of Bethlehem is rated unsafe during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information on the other ingredients to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. Breastfeeding is also not recommended with the ingredients in this product.
What are cardiac glycosides, and why do they matter?
Cardiac glycosides are compounds that affect how your heart beats. Star of Bethlehem contains them, and they can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias), headaches, and visual disturbances. They're also the reason this product interacts with so many heart and kidney medications.
Does this product have any proven effectiveness?
We don't have effectiveness data for Grace or its ingredients. The evidence for whether it works for its intended purpose isn't established in the information available to us.
What are the inactive ingredients?
