HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jade Screen Teapills by Plum Flower

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,360 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Jade Screen Teapills has three active ingredients. Two are traditional herbal extracts — astragalus and atractylodes — each with a long history in Chinese medicine.

The third is saposhnikovia (also called siler), which we don't have interaction data for. The pill also contains a few inert ingredients: magnesium silicate, activated charcoal, dextrin, and china wax — these are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The product facts don't establish effectiveness for any condition in our data. For astragalus, the evidence we hold is rated insufficient to say whether it helps with hay fever, asthma, amenorrhea, anemia, angina, or thalassemia.

The same goes for atractylodes and common cold, diarrhea, anorexia, cachexia, and lung cancer. We simply don't have reliable human trial data to measure whether this product delivers the results it claims.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus Atractylodes

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.

Astragalus is generally well tolerated in the short term in healthy adults, though quality human safety data is limited. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported dizziness or angina-like symptoms, though these may not have been caused by the herb.

Atractylodes has limited adverse effect information overall, but some trial participants reported allergic reactions, dry mouth, and nausea. The facts advise against astragalus and atractylodes in pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus Atractylodes

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Astragalus, Atractylodes.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 976 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.

Check your medications if you take immunosuppressants, lithium, diabetes drugs, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, aromatase inhibitors, or any drug your liver breaks down via the CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 pathways — astragalus and atractylodes in this product have documented interactions with these drug types.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylenolides II and III, constituents of atractylodes, reduce platelet activation. So far, this has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aromatase Inhibitors

Theoretically, atractylodes may have an additive effect when used with other aromatase inhibitors.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylodes and its constituents exhibit aromatase inhibitor effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hexobarbital

Theoretically, taking atractylodes may prolong the therapeutic and adverse effects of hexobarbital.
In animals, atractylodes has been shown to prolong the effects of hexobarbital. These effects have not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, atractylodes might decrease the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to induce CYP1A2 activity. This effect has not been shown in humans.

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

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to inhibit CYP3A1 activity, which is a homolog to the human CYP3A4 enzyme. This effect has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Astragalus membranaceus extract4 drug types · 208 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking astragalus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research in humans shows that astragalus might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, taking astragalus, especially in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cyclophosphamide

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with cyclophosphamide therapy.
Evidence regarding the effect of astragalus on immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide is conflicting. Some animal research suggests that astragalus reverses cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. However, other animal research shows no effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, astragalus might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that astragalus has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to this diuretic effect, astragalus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Jade Screen Teapills by Plum Flower: Common Questions

Does Jade Screen Teapills by Plum Flower interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Jade Screen Teapills has a known interaction with 975 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Jade Screen Teapills contains 3 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.
Is it safe to take Jade Screen Teapills if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against both astragalus and atractylodes during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. There isn't enough reliable information to know whether they're safe for your baby. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant or nursing.
What are the side effects?
Astragalus is generally well tolerated, though a small number of trial participants reported dizziness or angina-like chest symptoms (though these may not have been caused by the herb). Atractylodes adverse effects are poorly studied, but some people have reported allergic reactions, dry mouth, and nausea. Intravenous astragalus (not this oral form) has caused rash and skin reactions in some patients.
Does this product actually work?
We don't have reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works for any condition. Both astragalus and atractylodes are rated as having insufficient evidence, so the human trial data isn't there yet to measure real benefit.
What's in this product?
The three active ingredients are astragalus extract, atractylodes extract, and saposhnikovia extract — all traditional Chinese herbs. It also contains inactive fillers: magnesium silicate, activated charcoal, dextrin, and china wax to hold the tablet together.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner?
Atractylodes in this product might theoretically increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. Don't start without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first — they know your exact medication and can tell you whether it's safe for you.
