HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ilex Aquifolium by UNDA Gemmo

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: English Holly young shoot extract. Holly has been used traditionally, though safety data on leaf preparations is limited.

The product also contains glycerin, ethanol, and purified water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 Holly product and its label doesn't state a use — see Holly'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.

We don't have established evidence on file for how well English Holly works for any condition. If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Holly

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.

English Holly leaf can cause stomach upset, including diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The leaf spines themselves may scratch or puncture skin or the inside of your mouth.

The berries are toxic — even a small number can cause serious harm, and ingestion of 20–30 berries can be fatal. There is no safety data to support use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so those aren't recommended.

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.

This product is from the young shoots of English Holly, a plant with limited safety data on leaf preparations. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a sensitive stomach, this one's not for you.

Ilex Aquifolium by UNDA Gemmo: Common Questions

Does Ilex Aquifolium by UNDA Gemmo interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Ilex Aquifolium. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ilex Aquifolium 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 English Holly safe during pregnancy?
No — there's no safety data on Holly leaf during pregnancy, so it's not recommended. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant and considering this product.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No — there's no safety data during breastfeeding, so it's advised against. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing and thinking about using it.
What side effects might I notice?
Holly leaf can cause stomach irritation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The leaf spines can also scratch your mouth or throat. If you have a sensitive stomach, be extra careful.
Is this product safe for children?
The facts note that holly berries are particularly toxic to small children — even 2 berries can cause vomiting and diarrhea. This product is a leaf extract, not berries, but given the safety concerns with the plant itself, check with your pediatrician before giving it to a child.
What is English Holly leaf used for?
We don't have evidence on file for what Holly leaf is proven to do. If you're considering it for a specific reason, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the evidence supports that use.
