HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grass Juice 750 mg by BIOVEA
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
This product contains 5 ingredients, all organic plant materials. The active components are organic alfalfa, organic oat, organic barley, organic wheat, organic Kamut (an ancient wheat variety), and a proprietary grass juice blend.
The inactive ingredients are organic rice concentrate and organic Arabic gum, which help hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Oats and barley have good evidence for helping lower cholesterol and supporting heart health — they're rated Likely Effective for both. Alfalfa, wheat, and Kamut have insufficient evidence to rate them for any specific use, so we don't know whether this product works for its intended purpose based on the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Oats are well tolerated and generally safe in food amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding, though concentrated oat supplements are less studied. Alfalfa is rated Possibly Unsafe in pregnancy because of its estrogen-like activity and isn't recommended in supplement doses while breastfeeding due to lack of safety data.
The most common side effects from these ingredients are digestive: bloating, gas, flatulence, and loose stools — especially when first starting. A rare but serious side effect of alfalfa is a lupus-like syndrome after long-term use.
Barley contains gluten and can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people. Dermatitis has been reported with alfalfa use.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take warfarin or any blood thinner (Major interaction with alfalfa). Also double-check if you're on antidiabetes drugs, insulin, birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, immunosuppressants, photosensitizing drugs, or triclabendazole — all have Moderate interactions with one or more ingredients.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, skip this product — the alfalfa will interfere. If you're on diabetes medication or insulin, take antipsychotics, birth control, or hormone replacement, talk to your pharmacist first.
Otherwise, this is generally well tolerated, though expect possible digestive upset when you start.

Grass Juice 750 mg by BIOVEA Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Grass Juice 750 mg by BIOVEA contains several ingredients with documented interactions.
The most serious is organic alfalfa, which carries a Major interaction with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner. Alfalfa is high in vitamin K, which can reduce how well warfarin works to prevent clots.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Alfalfa also has Moderate interactions with photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase sun sensitivity), contraceptive pills, hormone replacement therapy, immunosuppressants, and antidiabetes drugs. The contraceptive and hormone concerns stem from alfalfa's estrogen-like compounds; the antidiabetes concern is that alfalfa may lower blood sugar and increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Organic oat and organic barley in this product carry Moderate interactions with antidiabetes drugs and insulin — both can lower blood sugar further. Barley also theoretically reduces how well triclabendazole (Egaten), a parasitic infection drug, works.
We could not check organic wheat or the proprietary blend's full composition for interactions. Altogether, these interactions span 578 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Grass Juice 750 mg 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.
organic Alfalfa
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, alfalfa might reduce the anticoagulant activity of warfarin.
Alfalfa contains a large amount of vitamin K. This could theoretically interfere with the activity of warfarin.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, alfalfa might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that alfalfa decreases blood sugar in diabetic mice. Also, in one case report, a diabetic patient experienced hypoglycemia after consuming alfalfa extract. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with the activity of contraceptive drugs.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.
Estrogens
Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with hormone therapy.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, alfalfa might decrease the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro research and human case reports suggest that alfalfa may have immunostimulant effects.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of alfalfa with photosensitizing drugs might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that excessive doses of alfalfa may increase photosensitivity, possibly due to its chlorophyll content. It is unclear if this effect would be clinically relevant in humans.
organic Oat
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, oats may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Consuming oats can decrease blood glucose in patients with diabetes. In those who require insulin, taking oats 100 grams daily for 2 days reduces the insulin dose required to achieve metabolic control.
Insulin
Concomitant use of oats and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In patients with insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, taking oats 100 grams daily for 2 days reduces the insulin dose required to achieve metabolic control.
organic Barley
Triclabendazole (Egaten)
Theoretically, barley might decrease the clinical effects of triclabendazole.
Animal research suggests that a diet supplemented with barley can reduce the bioavailability of triclabendazole when taken concomitantly. This effect has not been shown in humans.
