HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Joy Tonic by Urban Moonshine

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 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Herbal Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (5 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Joy Tonic contains six active ingredients: rose petal extract, motherwort leaf and flower extract, linden leaf and flower extract, lemon balm leaf extract, lemongrass extract, and mugwort leaf extract. These are delivered in a liquid form with water and organic alcohol as inactive ingredients.

The product is formulated as a proprietary herbal blend, so the exact proportions of each herb aren't listed on the label — you'll see them grouped together. Each of the named botanicals has its own traditional use: motherwort and mugwort have been used historically for women's health, lemon balm and linden for calming, and lemongrass for digestive and general wellness support.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Stress support and occasional anxiety relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Stress, Nervousness, Restlessness.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Possibly Effective" for Stress (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Mugwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety.
  • Also on file: Motherwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety.

The evidence for Joy Tonic's ingredients is mixed. Lemon balm is possibly effective for cold sores, stress, and depression — that's the strongest rating we have for any single ingredient here.

Motherwort is possibly effective for bleeding support. For the other uses these herbs are traditionally marketed for — anxiety, sleep, menstrual regularity — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate them reliably.

Linden, lemongrass, and mugwort all lack established effectiveness ratings in our data for the conditions they're commonly used for.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Motherwort Linden Lemon Balm Lemongrass Mugwort

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 4 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of these herbs are generally well tolerated for short-term use in healthy adults, but the safety data overall are limited, especially for long-term or high-dose use. Motherwort may cause diarrhea or stomach irritation orally; at doses over 3 grams it can cause uterine bleeding.

Linden has one case report of an allergic reaction to its pollen. Lemon balm can occasionally cause dizziness or sedation, though trials suggest this doesn't happen more often than with placebo.

Lemongrass should be used cautiously in concentrated or medicinal amounts. Mugwort may trigger allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed.

For pregnancy: motherwort, lemongrass, and mugwort are all traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus and are rated likely unsafe in pregnancy — avoid them. Lemon balm and linden lack enough safety data in pregnancy; talk to your doctor before use if you're pregnant.

Breastfeeding safety data for these herbs are also limited; check with your pharmacist or doctor before using while nursing.

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?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Motherwort, Lemon Balm, Linden, Lemongrass.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 860 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 Joy Tonic, double-check these medication types with your pharmacist: central nervous system depressants (sleeping pills, anxiety meds, narcotic pain relievers) — Motherwort and Lemon Balm both carry Moderate risk. Thyroid hormone replacement like levothyroxine (Moderate risk from Lemon Balm).

Lithium for bipolar disorder (Moderate risk from Linden). CYP3A4 substrate medications, which include many statins, blood pressure drugs, and immunosuppressants (Moderate risk from Lemongrass).

Glucuronidated drugs like certain pain relievers and psychiatric medications (Moderate risk from Lemongrass). Pentobarbital or other barbiturate sedatives (Moderate risk from Lemongrass).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Joy Tonic is a six-herb liquid blend that's generally well tolerated for short-term use but comes with significant documented interactions — especially if you take sedatives, thyroid hormones, lithium, or certain heart and cholesterol medications. If you're pregnant, several of these herbs should be avoided.

org. Lemongrass extract3 drug types · 708 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, lemongrass might decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
Animal research shows that lemongrass and its constituent citral inhibit CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, lemongrass might increase the clearance and decrease the levels of glucuronidated drugs.
Animal research shows that lemongrass and its constituent citral induce uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase (UGT), the major phase 2 enzyme that is responsible for glucuronidation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, lemongrass might increase the effects and adverse effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research shows that high doses of lemongrass essential oil increases sleep time and decreases time to fall asleep in animals administered pentobarbital.

Joy Tonic by Urban Moonshine: Common Questions

Does Joy Tonic by Urban Moonshine interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Joy Tonic has a known interaction with 859 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Joy Tonic contains 6 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 Joy Tonic while I'm pregnant?
Three of the six ingredients — motherwort, lemongrass, and mugwort — are traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus and are rated likely unsafe in pregnancy, so you should avoid them. Lemon balm and linden don't have enough safety data during pregnancy; talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before use.
Is it okay to use Joy Tonic while breastfeeding?
Safety information during breastfeeding is limited for these herbs. Lemon balm has limited safety info but caution is advised; check with your doctor before use. For the others — motherwort, linden, lemongrass, and mugwort — there isn't enough data on file. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using while nursing.
What's motherwort in this product for?
Motherwort has been traditionally used for women's health and bleeding support — and it's possibly effective for bleeding based on the evidence we hold. That said, human safety data are limited, and doses over 3 grams can cause uterine bleeding, so it's best used short-term and under guidance.
Does lemon balm actually help with stress?
Lemon balm is rated possibly effective for stress in the evidence we hold, and it's also possibly effective for cold sores and depression. It's generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high doses and long-term safety aren't well studied.
What side effects might I notice from Joy Tonic?
The most common reported side effects are diarrhea and stomach irritation from motherwort. Lemon balm can occasionally cause dizziness or sedation, though trials suggest these don't happen more often than placebo. Mugwort may trigger allergic reactions if you're sensitive to ragweed. Stop use and contact your pharmacist if you notice any unexpected reactions.
Why can't you check rose petal extract for interactions?
We don't hold safety data for rose petal extract, so we couldn't check it against medications. That doesn't mean it's unsafe — just that we have no monograph on file for it. If you have concerns, ask your pharmacist.
