HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jiaogulan 820 mg by We Like Vitamins

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 13, 2026

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: jiaogulan extract at 820 mg per capsule. Jiaogulan is a plant used in traditional Asian medicine, sometimes called "immortality herb," and is often consumed as a tea.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder, which are inactive ingredients that help deliver the extract.

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 — see Jiaogulan's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support stamina, endurance and immune health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Stress, Respiratory tract infections, Fatigue, Adaptogenic support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Jiaogulan is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Jiaogulan is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections, Stress.

Jiaogulan has possibly effective evidence for type 2 diabetes — clinical research shows it can lower blood glucose levels. For athletic performance, cancer prevention, heart disease, fatty liver disease, and respiratory infections, the evidence we have on file is insufficient to rate whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for any of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor to see if there's evidence that matters for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Jiaogulan

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.

Jiaogulan is generally well tolerated when used as a tea or supplement for short periods — up to 4 months in studies. The most common side effects are diarrhea and nausea; some people also report dry mouth, dizziness, or trouble sleeping.

Long-term safety beyond a few months hasn't been well studied. Don't use this product during pregnancy — safety data advises against it because it may affect the developing baby.

Avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since there isn't enough safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Jiaogulan

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Jiaogulan.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 327 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 taking Jiaogulan 820 mg, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin or aspirin) — jiaogulan may increase bleeding risk. Also confirm it's safe with any immune-suppressing medications or diabetes drugs, since it may affect how well those work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Jiaogulan may be worth considering if you're interested in blood glucose support and your doctor agrees, but it's not right for you if you take blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, or diabetes medications without checking first. The safety profile for short-term use is generally reassuring, but pregnancy and breastfeeding are off limits.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any prescription medications.
