HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Heartsease 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, Leaf Extract. It's a liquid extract made from the flowers and leaves of the heartsease plant.

The extract is suspended in alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.

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 data we hold rates heartsease for two conditions — chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atopic dermatitis (eczema), a type of skin inflammation — but the evidence for both is rated insufficient. That means we don't have reliable research yet to say whether it works for these uses.

If you're thinking about it for a specific health concern, it's worth talking through with your doctor or pharmacist.

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.

Heartsease is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The safety data we hold are limited, though, so caution is advised.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — there's not enough data to know either way.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this. One note: in a nine-month-old infant with G6PD deficiency (a rare inherited condition affecting how blood cells handle certain compounds), heartsease caused hemolysis — the breakdown of red blood cells.

If your family has a history of G6PD deficiency, mention that to your doctor before taking this product.

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

No interactions are documented for heartsease in our data. That doesn't mean none could occur — if you take any medications, check them with the tool on this page or ask your doctor or pharmacist before you begin.

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 generally well tolerated and has no documented interactions with medications we checked. The evidence for its effectiveness in COPD or eczema isn't established yet.

Heartsease by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Heartsease by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Heartsease. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Heartsease 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.
Can I take Heartsease while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. The data we hold advises against it during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking it.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. The data we hold advises against it while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Does Heartsease work for lung disease or eczema?
The evidence for both conditions — chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and eczema — is rated insufficient. We don't have reliable research yet to say whether it helps. Your doctor or pharmacist can discuss other options with you.
What are the side effects?
Heartsease is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. One rare but serious concern: in a nine-month-old infant with G6PD deficiency (a rare inherited blood condition), it caused the breakdown of red blood cells. If you or a family member has G6PD deficiency, mention that to your doctor first.
What is heartsease used for?
Traditionally, heartsease has been used for respiratory and skin concerns, including COPD and eczema. The research data we hold don't yet confirm whether it's effective for these uses.
