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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Keep It Movin' Plum Berry contains three active ingredients. Prune powder supports normal bowel function — it's possibly effective for constipation.

Amla fruit extract (also called Indian gooseberry) is possibly effective for heartburn (GERD) and cholesterol. Rhubarb root extract is possibly effective for pancreatitis and menopausal symptoms and has stimulant laxative effects to help with regularity.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — sugar, glucose syrup, water, gelatin, natural flavors, citric acid, black carrot juice, and lactic acid — which serve as sweeteners, binders, and colorants.

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: relieve occasional constipation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Plum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rhubarb is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation.

Prune powder is possibly effective for constipation. Amla fruit extract is possibly effective for heartburn (GERD) and possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), though the cholesterol evidence is less established.

Rhubarb root extract is possibly effective for pancreatitis and menopausal symptoms. The product combines these three, so if you're taking it for constipation or bowel regularity, the evidence supports that use most directly.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Plum Indian Gooseberry Rhubarb

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Prune powder from plums and rhubarb root extract are generally well tolerated in food amounts, but the concentrated supplement forms in this product lack thorough safety data in pregnancy — avoid medicinal amounts if you're pregnant. Rhubarb root is best avoided while breastfeeding because laxative compounds may pass into breast milk.

Amla fruit extract also lacks enough safety data in pregnancy and should be avoided in supplement doses — talk to your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing about whether this product is right for you. Common side effects from any of these ingredients include gas, diarrhea, and cramping.

Rhubarb root may cause nausea or vomiting, and chronic overuse can deplete potassium and stress the kidneys.

Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Rhubarb, Indian Gooseberry, Plum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 788 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 this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), diabetes medications, steroids, diuretics, other laxatives, heart drugs like digoxin, kidney or liver medications, or immunosuppressants like cyclosporine. Moderate-severity interactions are documented for all of these drug types.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Keep It Movin' Plum Berry is designed to support bowel regularity through three plant-based ingredients with some evidence behind them. It's not for you if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, steroids, diuretics, or certain heart or kidney medications — you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant or nursing women should talk it over with their healthcare provider. If you're looking for occasional constipation relief without active medications, this may be an option worth discussing with your pharmacist.

Rhubarb Root Extract8 drug types · 658 drugs

Corticosteroids

Theoretically, frequent and high doses of rhubarb might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with corticosteroids.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might compound corticosteroid-induced potassium loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Theoretically, taking rhubarb with cyclosporine might reduce cyclosporine levels.
Animal research shows that co-administration of rhubarb decoction 0.25 or 1 gram/kg with cyclosporine 2.5 mg/kg, decreases cyclosporine maximum plasma concentration and overall exposure levels when compared with taking cyclosporine alone. The authors theorize that rhubarb might reduce cyclosporine bioavailability by inducing of P-glycoprotein and/or cytochrome P450 3A4. However, since rhubarb was administered as a single oral dose and enzyme induction usually occurs after multiple doses, it is possible that cyclosporine absorption was actually reduced via rhubarb's stimulant laxative effects. Also, the composition of the rhubarb decoction was not described.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, overuse of rhubarb might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with digoxin.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might cause potassium depletion, increasing the risk of digoxin toxicity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, frequent and high doses of rhubarb might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might cause potassium depletion and compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of rhubarb with potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage.
Some animal research suggests that anthraquinones in rhubarb might have hepatotoxic effects. Also, rhubarb use has been linked to at least 24 cases of liver injury, although details on the dose of rhubarb and duration of use in these cases is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nephrotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, long-term use of anthraquinones from rhubarb might increase the risk of nephrotoxicity when used with nephrotoxic drugs.
The anthraquinone constituents of rhubarb have been shown to induce nephrotoxicity in animal research. Additionally, in a case report, a 23-year old female presented with kidney failure after taking 6 tablets of a proprietary slimming agent (found to contain the anthraquinones emodin and aloe-emodin from rhubarb) daily for 6 weeks and then adding diclofenac 25 mg 4 times daily for 2 days. The authors postulate that the anthraquinone constituents of rhubarb contributed to the renal dysfunction, and the addition of diclofenac, a nephrotoxic drug, led to renal failure. Until more is known, advise patients to avoid taking rhubarb if they are taking other potentially nephrotoxic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, rhubarb might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with other stimulant laxatives.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Concomitant use with stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, excessive use of rhubarb might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects and can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of rhubarb.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Rhubarb Root Extract full monograph & interactions

Amla Fruit Extract4 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg, as a single dose or for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg alone. Until more is known, use caution when taking Indian gooseberry in combination with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking Indian gooseberry with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry fruit or fruit extract alone or in conjunction with antidiabetes medications can lower blood glucose levels. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with aspirin; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with ecosprin 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus ecosprin 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with ecosprin 75 mg alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Clopidogrel (Plavix)

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with clopidogrel; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Prune powder1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, plum juice might have antiplatelet effects.
Consuming plum juice while taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. In healthy volunteers, drinking plum juice 200 mL daily for 28 days prolonged clotting time and inhibited platelet aggregation.

Keep It Movin' Plum Berry by OLLY: Common Questions

Does Keep It Movin' Plum Berry by OLLY interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Keep It Movin' Plum Berry has a known interaction with 787 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Keep It Movin' Plum Berry 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.
Does this work for constipation?
Prune powder is possibly effective for constipation, and rhubarb root extract has stimulant laxative effects. So yes, the product has some evidence behind it for that purpose — though you'll want to check with your pharmacist if you're on any other medications first.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The concentrated supplement forms in this product aren't well studied in pregnancy. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts of rhubarb root during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data for amla fruit extract while nursing, and rhubarb root laxative compounds may pass into breast milk — it's best to avoid medicinal use. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about safer alternatives while you're breastfeeding.
What are the most common side effects?
Gas, diarrhea, and cramping are the most common — especially from the rhubarb and prune content. Nausea and vomiting are possible but less frequent. If cramping is severe or doesn't ease, stop and talk to your pharmacist.
Is there anything in this besides the active ingredients?
Yes. The gummy contains inactive ingredients — sugar, glucose syrup, water, gelatin, natural flavors, citric acid, black carrot juice, and lactic acid — which act as sweeteners, binders, and color. If you have gelatin or gelatin allergies, check the label carefully.
Can this lower my blood sugar?
Yes, potentially. The amla fruit extract in this product can lower blood glucose levels. If you take diabetes medications, this could raise your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them — your diabetes medication dose might need adjustment.
