HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Heaven Mountain Goji Drops by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Extract Formula” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Heaven Mountain Goji Drops contains one active ingredient: a proprietary extract formula centered on goji berry extract. The liquid also includes water and grain alcohol as inactive ingredients — the alcohol is a common preservative and solvent in herbal liquids and isn't added for therapeutic effect.

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 Goji product and its label doesn't state a use — see Goji'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 supporting goji berry extract for sunburn, heart disease, high blood pressure, weight loss, or quality of life is insufficient — we don't have reliable data in our holdings to rate how well it works for any of these purposes. If you're considering this product for one of those reasons, talk it over with your doctor about what the current science actually shows and what might work better for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Goji

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.

Goji berries are generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but concentrated supplements have less safety data behind them. A small number of people have reported allergic reactions — including facial swelling, throat itching, and in rare cases anaphylaxis — after consuming goji.

There are also isolated case reports of liver problems (autoimmune hepatitis and acute hepatitis) associated with goji use, though it's unclear whether goji alone was responsible or whether other ingredients in a combination product played a role. During pregnancy, avoid medicinal amounts of goji due to limited safety data and traditional reports suggesting it may affect the uterus.

While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable data on supplement use, so caution is advised. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Goji

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Goji.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,001 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.

Before you take this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner — that's a Major interaction. Also flag any heart rhythm medications (like flecainide), blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or any other prescription you take regularly, since goji may slow how your liver breaks down several drug classes.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Goji berry extract is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but this concentrated liquid has meaningful interactions — especially with blood thinners, heart medications, and blood pressure drugs — and effectiveness data for most marketed uses is lacking. If you take any prescription medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Heaven Mountain Goji berry extract8 drug types · 1,000 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Goji can increase the effects of warfarin and possibly increase the risk of bleeding.
There are at least 5 case reports of increased international normalized ratio (INR) in patients stabilized on warfarin who began drinking goji juice, concentrated goji tea, or goji wine. Goji may inhibit the metabolism of warfarin by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9).

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji root bark, but not goji fruit, with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that goji root bark has hypotensive effects. However, goji fruit juice does not appear to reduce systolic or diastolic blood pressure in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C19 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C9 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. Additionally, multiple case reports suggest that goji berry concentrated tea and juice inhibit the metabolism of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C9 substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2D6 and reduce metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2D6 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP3A4 and reduce metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP3A4 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Flecainide (Tambocor)

Theoretically, goji berry might increase the levels and clinical effects of flecainide.
In one case report, a 75-year-old patient stable on flecainide and warfarin presented to the emergency room with fainting and pleomorphic arrhythmia caused by flecainide toxicity. Flecainide toxicity was attributed to drinking 1-2 glasses of concentrated goji tea daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, goji may have inhibited the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolism of flecainide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji fruit polysaccharides or goji root bark with antidiabetes drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research show that goji root bark and fruit polysaccharides might have hypoglycemic effects. However, clinical research has only shown that taking goji fruit polysaccharides with or without antidiabetes drugs modestly reduces postprandial glucose when compared with control, with no reports of hypoglycemia.

Heaven Mountain Goji Drops by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Heaven Mountain Goji Drops by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Heaven Mountain Goji Drops has a known interaction with 1,000 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Heaven Mountain Goji Drops 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 this if I'm on warfarin?
No — not without talking to your doctor first. Goji can increase how long warfarin stays active in your body and raise your bleeding risk. We have at least five documented cases of this happening when people taking stable warfarin doses started consuming goji juice or concentrated goji tea. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose or monitor you differently.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate goji well, but a small number have reported allergic reactions — itching in the mouth or throat, facial swelling, and rarely anaphylaxis. There are also isolated case reports of liver inflammation (hepatitis) tied to goji products, though it's not always clear if goji alone was the cause.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
The safety data on medicinal amounts of goji during pregnancy is limited, and there are traditional reports suggesting it may affect the uterus. The facts advise avoiding medicinal amounts, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What is goji berry extract supposed to do?
This product is marketed for sunburn, heart health, blood pressure, weight loss, and quality of life, but we don't have reliable evidence in our data that it works for any of those. If you're interested in it for a specific reason, ask your doctor what the science actually shows.
Does the grain alcohol in this product matter?
Grain alcohol is a common preservative and solvent in herbal liquids — it's there to keep the extract stable and isn't added for a therapeutic effect. If you need to avoid alcohol, note that this product contains it.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
Goji root bark (part of the extract) may lower blood pressure itself, so taking it alongside blood pressure drugs could theoretically add up to too much of an effect. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them — they may want to keep an eye on your blood pressure.
