HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Keep Cool by Nature's Sunshine Flower Essence Formula
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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This formula contains 9 ingredients, 6 of which are active and 3 are containers for blended groups. The key actives are organic vegetable glycerin (a humectant and mild laxative), infusions of flower parts including calendula, holly leaf, snapdragon, and grape vine, plus grape seed and fruit.
There are no inactive fillers listed in this product—what you see are the active botanicals and glycerin suspension.
Does it work?
Not established
The data we hold on individual ingredients shows limited evidence for most uses. Glycerin is likely effective for constipation and possibly effective for athletic performance and certain skin conditions, but possibly ineffective for stroke prevention.
Grape seed extract is possibly effective for chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs). Calendula's effectiveness for acne, burns, radiation damage, and other skin or lung conditions is not established in our data—the evidence is insufficient to rate it.
The product's flower essence formula as a whole has no effectiveness ratings in our records.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Glycerin is generally well tolerated in normal amounts, but large doses can cause stomach upset, bloating, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and diarrhea. Holly leaf and berries present a concern: the berries are toxic and can cause serious harm or death in high amounts, and there is no safety data on leaf preparations.
Calendula may trigger allergic reactions, especially in people sensitive to ragweed or the daisy family. Grape is generally well tolerated as food and supplement, though rarely anaphylaxis to grape skin has occurred.
If you're pregnant, avoid concentrated grape supplements (the data is limited) and do not use calendula by mouth. Holly is not safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding—the safety data is absent.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before taking if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or similar), because grape may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you take cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant), midazolam (a sedative), or drugs metabolized by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4—grape may affect how your body handles them.
If you take any sedating medications, calendula's theoretical interaction is low but worth confirming with your pharmacist.
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 flower essence blend may appeal to those interested in botanical wellness, but it's not appropriate for anyone taking blood thinners, cyclosporine, or certain sedating or liver-metabolized medications without checking first. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor before using it, especially because of the holly and calendula content.
Before starting Keep Cool, run your current medications through the interaction checker below and confirm it with your own doctor or pharmacist.

Keep Cool by Nature's Sunshine Flower Essence Formula Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Keep Cool by Nature's Sunshine Flower Essence Formula contains ingredients with documented interactions, primarily through its grape and calendula content.
The most serious concern is a Moderate-severity interaction with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs): grape extract may increase bleeding risk by thinning blood further. Grape also interacts with several medication types that your liver processes.
It may reduce how your body handles certain antidepressants, pain relievers, and other drugs metabolized by enzymes called CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP2E1, potentially lowering their levels in your blood. Additionally, grape juice can decrease absorption of cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant) by up to 30% and may reduce the effectiveness of midazolam (a sedative) with long-term use.
Calendula carries a Minor interaction with CNS depressants (sedating medications like sleeping pills or anxiety drugs), though human reports of this effect are rare.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
We could not check purified water, the proprietary blend container itself, the flower infusions container, Impatiens glandulifera, Antirrhinum majus, or Salix vitellina—we hold no data for these. Holly (Ilex aquifolium) and glycerol were checked and show no documented drug interactions.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,013 individual medications. To see if your specific prescriptions are affected, use the interaction checker on this page with your exact medication names and doses.
