HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Happy Tummy by Herbally Grounded
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
Happy Tummy contains 3 active ingredients in a liquid form. The two we can identify are fennel and catnip, both traditional herbal ingredients.
The product also lists wild lettuce, but we don't have detailed information on that one. You'll also find inactive ingredients like glycerin, deionized water, and apple cider vinegar, which are there to create the liquid base.
Does it work?
Not established
Fennel is possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (period pain). For its other traditional uses—anxiety, bronchitis, sleep-wetting in children, and cholera—the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.
Catnip's effectiveness for its claimed uses—amenorrhea (absent periods), anxiety, tension headaches, upper respiratory infections, indigestion, and gas—is not established in the data we have. Neither ingredient's effectiveness for 'happy tummy' or digestive comfort specifically is addressed in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fennel is generally well tolerated when used as food, but concentrated supplements and essential oils warrant more caution. Most side effects are mild: gastrointestinal discomfort, sun sensitivity, and allergic reactions in sensitive people.
Seizures have been reported rarely. Avoid fennel in medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy due to limited safety data and its hormone-like effects.
During breastfeeding, food amounts are likely okay, but medicinal doses and essential oil are not well studied. Catnip is generally well tolerated in tea amounts, though human safety data are limited.
Common side effects include headache, malaise, and vomiting; large amounts may cause stomach upset. Catnip should be avoided during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and safety is not established.
Not enough safety information exists for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Happy Tummy, double-check if you're on contraceptive drugs, estrogen-based medications, blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), tamoxifen (Nolvadex), central nervous system depressants like sedatives or sleep aids, or lithium. These are the medication types documented to interact with the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take contraceptive pills, hormone replacement therapy, blood thinners, ciprofloxacin, tamoxifen, lithium, or any sedating medication, check with your pharmacist or doctor before trying this product. The data on effectiveness for digestive comfort specifically isn't in our records.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid both fennel and catnip here.

Happy Tummy by Herbally Grounded Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Happy Tummy by Herbally Grounded contains fennel and catnip, both of which have documented interactions with medications.
Fennel carries the most serious concern: it may interfere with contraceptive drugs, estrogen-containing medications, and blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelets), all rated Moderate severity. Fennel can also theoretically reduce the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic) and tamoxifen (a breast cancer medication) by competing with estrogen receptors or affecting how your body processes them.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Catnip adds two Moderate-severity interactions: it may enhance the sedating effects of central nervous system depressants (like sleep aids and some anxiety medications), and it might increase lithium levels by reducing how your kidneys clear it, which could require a dose adjustment.
We could not check wild lettuce — no interaction data is on file for it. Run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Happy Tummy 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.
Fennel
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fennel might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Animal research suggests that fennel oil has antithrombotic and antiplatelet effects.
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Theoretically, fennel might decrease the levels and clinical effects of ciprofloxacin.
Animal research shows that fennel reduces ciprofloxacin bioavailability by nearly 50%, possibly due to the metal cations such as calcium, iron, and magnesium contained in fennel. This study also found that fennel increased tissue distribution and slowed elimination of ciprofloxacin.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the effects of contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, fennel might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research suggests that fennel inhibits CYP3A4 enzyme activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the antiestrogenic effect of tamoxifen.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity, which may interfere with the antiestrogenic activity of tamoxifen.
Catnip
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs with sedative properties may cause additive effects and side effects.
Clinical and animal research shows that catnip has sedative properties.
Lithium
Theoretically, catnip might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Catnip is thought to have diuretic properties which might reduce lithium excretion. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
