HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Green Energy Blend by Swanson

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

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Green Energy Blend contains three active ingredients: Pines organic Alfalfa Grass, Pines organic Barley Grass, and Pines Wheat Grass. Each is a grass-based ingredient, and each is listed here with its own safety and interaction data.

The inactive ingredients are pullulan, microcrystalline cellulose, and calcium palmitate. These are non-active components that help form the capsule and blend.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Total wellness for mind, body and home.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

For alfalfa, the reliable evidence is insufficient to rate for diabetes, dyspepsia, hypercholesterolemia, or menopausal symptoms. For barley, the ratings are likely effective for hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease (CHD).

We hold no effectiveness ratings for wheat grass.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Alfalfa Barley Couch Grass

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 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Alfalfa is generally well tolerated orally, but a thorough safety evaluation has not been done. Its most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and gas, and a rare lupus-like syndrome has been reported after long-term use.

Skin reactions have also been reported. Barley is generally well tolerated orally, with possible bloating, gas, and allergic reactions in sensitive people.

Barley contains gluten. Wheat grass is generally considered well tolerated, but human safety data are limited, and we hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding rating for it.

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Alfalfa, Barley.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 584 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.

Double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use warfarin (a blood thinner), which is rated Major. Also review photosensitizing drugs, contraceptive drugs, estrogens, immunosuppressants, antidiabetes drugs, and triclabendazole, each rated Moderate.

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.

Green Energy Blend may be of interest to people who want to explore grass-based supplements and understand what the evidence shows for each ingredient. People taking warfarin, diabetes medicines, hormonal contraceptives, estrogens, or immunosuppressants should be especially careful.

Please talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Pines organic Alfalfa Grass6 drug types · 583 drugs

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with the activity of contraceptive drugs.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with hormone therapy.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, alfalfa might decrease the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro research and human case reports suggest that alfalfa may have immunostimulant effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Pines organic Barley Grass1 drug type · 1 drug

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.

Is Green Energy Blend safe to take during pregnancy?
