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 is a liquid containing 3 active ingredients: fennel, catnip, and wild lettuce (the first two are part of a proprietary blend). The product also includes inactive ingredients — glycerin, deionized water, and apple cider vinegar — which serve as carriers and preservatives.
Fennel and catnip have traditional uses in herbal medicine for digestive comfort and relaxation, though the evidence for most of those uses is limited. Wild lettuce's role in this formula isn't detailed in the product information we hold.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for fennel in this product is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), but for other uses — like bronchitis, anxiety, bedwetting, and cholera — the evidence is insufficient to draw conclusions.
For catnip, all the uses we have data on — amenorrhea, anxiety, tension headaches, upper respiratory infections, indigestion, and gas — are rated as having insufficient evidence. We don't have effectiveness information on file for wild lettuce in this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fennel is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but this is a concentrated supplement — use caution. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal discomfort, sun sensitivity (photosensitivity), and allergic reactions in sensitive people; seizures are rare.
Catnip is generally well tolerated in tea-like amounts, though human safety data are limited. Its most common side effects are headache, malaise (a general feeling of being unwell), and vomiting; large amounts may cause stomach upset.
Because fennel has hormone-like effects, the safety data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Catnip's safety information shows it may stimulate the uterus and should be avoided in pregnancy; there isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Happy Tummy, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate), birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy (Moderate), ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic) (Moderate), tamoxifen (Moderate), drugs that cause drowsiness such as sedatives or sleeping pills (Moderate from catnip), or lithium (Moderate from catnip). We could not check wild lettuce for interactions.
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 have menstrual cramps and are looking for a herbal remedy without drug interactions, fennel has some evidence behind it — but only if you don't take blood thinners, birth control, hormone therapy, ciprofloxacin, tamoxifen, or certain liver-metabolized drugs. If you take any sedating medications or lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding catnip to your routine.
Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals should avoid both fennel and catnip. Run this product and your medications by your own doctor or pharmacist first.

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.
The most serious concern is fennel's moderate-severity interaction with blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs), where animal research suggests fennel may increase bleeding risk. Fennel also interacts with several other drug categories, including birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, certain antibiotics (ciprofloxacin), tamoxifen (a breast cancer medication), and drugs broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Catnip carries moderate-severity interactions with sedating medications (CNS depressants) — meaning it may add to their drowsiness and other side effects — and with lithium, a mood-stabilizing drug where catnip's diuretic properties might raise lithium levels in your blood. We could not check wild lettuce; no interaction data is on file for it.
Altogether, these interactions span 895 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners, birth control, hormone therapy, ciprofloxacin, tamoxifen, drugs that make you drowsy, or lithium.

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.
