HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Heartsease Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: heartsease flower and leaf extract in a dry form. Heartsease is a traditional herbal remedy, and this liquid preparation delivers it alcohol-free, suspended in glycerin and water.

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

This is a single-ingredient Heart's Ease product and its label doesn't state a use — see Heart's Ease's own graded uses on its monograph.

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

The evidence for heartsease isn't established yet. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atopic dermatitis (eczema — a persistent skin inflammation), the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means high-quality studies backing its use for these conditions aren't on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Heart's Ease

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 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Orally, heartsease is generally well tolerated. However, safety data are limited, and there is one serious exception: it has caused hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells) in an infant with glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a genetic condition affecting how the body handles certain compounds.

If you or anyone taking this has G6PD deficiency, avoid it. Heartsease is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety information either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That's not a guarantee none exist — it's what our monograph shows.

If you take any medications, run them through the search tool on this page or confirm with your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Heartsease is traditionally used for respiratory and skin concerns, but the evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works for these purposes yet. It's generally well tolerated, though it carries a rare but serious risk for people with G6PD deficiency.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or have G6PD deficiency, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. For everyone else, check with your pharmacist if you have questions about how it fits into your routine.

Heartsease Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Heartsease Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Heartsease Alcohol Free. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Heartsease Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 heartsease safe if I have G6PD deficiency?
No. Heartsease has caused hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells) in an infant with G6PD deficiency, a genetic blood condition. If you have G6PD deficiency or a family history of it, avoid this product and talk with your doctor.
Can I take this while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety information to say either way. The data we hold advises against it during pregnancy — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to say either way. The data we hold advises against it while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does heartsease actually work for lung or skin problems?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or atopic dermatitis (eczema). That means high-quality studies backing its use for these conditions aren't on file yet.
What are the side effects?
Heartsease is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The main concern is hemolysis in people with G6PD deficiency. Beyond that, high-quality safety data are limited, so we don't have a detailed side-effect profile.
