HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hydration + Liver Aid Mixed Berry by Zaca

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 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This tablet has 4 active ingredients: a proprietary blend (whose components aren't individually listed), L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, prickly pear extract, Japanese Raisin tree berry extract, and L-glutathione. The inactive ingredients include xylitol, stearic acid, natural berry flavor, citric acid, beet color, magnesium stearate, silica, and rebaudioside A.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Recovery and hydration support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hangover, Athletic performance, Electrolyte balance, Physical endurance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Glutathione is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Prickly Pear Cactus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hangover.

Prickly pear is possibly effective for diabetes, though the evidence for age-related cognitive decline, prostate health, upset stomach, and cholesterol is not well established. L-Glutathione is possibly effective for certain types of nerve damage from chemotherapy, but evidence for liver health, Alzheimer's disease, athletic performance, and cataracts is insufficient.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine or the proprietary blend's components.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Prickly Pear Cactus Glutathione

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Prickly pear is generally well tolerated as food, though supplement amounts are less studied. You may experience mild stomach upset (nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, bloating) or, rarely, headache, insomnia, or dizziness.

Cases of bowel obstruction and serious complications from seed ingestion have been reported, but they're extremely rare and tied to eating very large quantities. L-Glutathione appears well tolerated short-term orally, though long-term safety isn't fully clear.

If inhaled, it can narrow airways and cause shortness of breath or cough, especially in people with asthma. Both prickly pear and L-glutathione lack enough safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Prickly Pear Cactus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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, double-check antidiabetes drugs with your doctor or pharmacist — prickly pear may increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with them. L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine and Japanese Raisin tree extract could not be checked for interactions, so mention them to your healthcare provider too.

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.

This product may help with hydration and contains ingredients studied for diabetes and liver support, but if you take diabetes medications, you'll need to monitor blood sugar closely because prickly pear can lower it further. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have diabetes, or take any regular medications.

Hydration + Liver Aid Mixed Berry by Zaca: Common Questions

Does Hydration + Liver Aid Mixed Berry by Zaca interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Hydration + Liver Aid Mixed Berry has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Hydration + Liver Aid Mixed Berry contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 have type 2 diabetes?
Not without talking to your doctor first. Prickly pear in this product may lower blood sugar, and combining it with your diabetes medications could push your levels too low. Your doctor can help you decide if it's right for you and how to monitor yourself safely.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The facts show there isn't enough safety data for prickly pear or L-glutathione during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice — they can help you weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate it well, but you may have mild stomach upset like nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, or bloating. Rarely, some people report headache, insomnia, or dizziness. Stop taking it and call your doctor if side effects are bothersome or don't improve.
Does this actually help with liver health?
L-glutathione is studied for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, but the evidence isn't strong enough to rate it yet. We don't have effectiveness information on the other ingredients for liver support, so the liver-aid claim isn't backed by established evidence in our data.
Why do I need to check my medications with you?
We have interaction data for 86 medications overall from this product's ingredients. Use the search tool on this page to see if any of your exact drugs are on that list, then share the results with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
