HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kidney and Bladder Cleanse Tea by Teatox Life

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
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 Blend of Herbs” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This tea blend contains 6 ingredients, including a proprietary mix of herbs plus five named botanicals: cleavers, cornsilk, parsley, juniper, and shavegrass (horsetail). Parsley and juniper are traditionally used to support urinary function, and shavegrass is included for similar reasons, though the evidence for these uses is not well established in our data.

The other ingredients listed are also present in the blend but have very limited research.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support healthy kidney and bladder function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Urinary incontinence, bladder irritation, painful urination.
  • The closest evidence on file: Juniper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Juniper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Also on file: Parsley is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that any of these ingredients work reliably for kidney and bladder support, urinary tract infections, or the other conditions they're traditionally claimed to help. Parsley, juniper, and shavegrass all carry ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for their proposed uses—meaning the research either hasn't been done or isn't strong enough to say whether they actually work.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Parsley Juniper Horsetail Couch Grass

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

Parsley is safe in normal food amounts but can be unsafe in large concentrated doses. The facts note that very high doses (200 grams of parsley oil or more than 10 grams of its toxic constituents apiole or myristicin) have caused serious effects including hemolytic anemia, kidney damage, and in rare cases anaphylaxis.

Large amounts may also stimulate the uterus, so it's best avoided in pregnancy. Juniper is generally tolerated short-term in food amounts but can irritate the kidneys with long-term use and should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Shavegrass carries limited safety data; it's okay short-term but long-term use carries real risks. Crude horsetail contains thiaminase, which can cause thiamine deficiency with prolonged use, though some products are tested to be free of this.

It should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. At typical tea doses you're unlikely to hit the dangerous high-dose thresholds, but check with your doctor or pharmacist if you plan to drink this regularly or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

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?
  • 3 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Juniper, Parsley, Horsetail.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 470 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 tea, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (especially warfarin), drugs that lower blood sugar, water pills (diuretics), lithium, HIV medications, efavirenz, or certain liver-metabolized drugs—parsley, juniper, and shavegrass all interact with these. The interactions are moderate in severity, meaning they can meaningfully change how your medications work.

The bottom line

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

This tea blends herbs traditionally used for urinary support, but we don't have solid evidence any of them work for that purpose. More importantly, if you take blood thinners like warfarin, antidiabetes drugs, diuretics, lithium, or HIV medications, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it—the herbs here can interfere with how those drugs work.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor first.

Parsley8 drug types · 443 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley has antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley might decrease blood glucose. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

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

Theoretically, parsley might increase serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Laboratory research suggests that parsley can inhibit CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might enhance or interfere with the effects of diuretic drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley seed extract increases urine elimination. Parsley leaf and root might also interfere with diuretic therapy due their purported aquaretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, parsley might increase the duration of pentobarbital effects.
Animal research suggests that parsley juice prolongs the action of pentobarbital, perhaps by decreasing cytochrome P450 levels. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sirolimus (Rapamune)

Theoretically, large quantities of parsley might increase sirolimus levels.
In one case report, an adult female with a history of kidney transplant presented with elevated blood sirolimus levels, approximately 4-7 times greater than previous measures, after daily consumption of a juice containing approximately 30 grams of parsley for 7 days. Sirolimus levels returned to normal a week after the parsley juice was discontinued.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, large amounts of parsley leaf and root might decrease the effects of warfarin.
Parlsey contains vitamin K.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase the severity of allergic reactions to parsley.
In one case, severe urticaria and swelling were reported after taking aspirin with parsley in an individual with a known mild parsley allergy.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Parsley full monograph & interactions

Shavegrass5 drug types · 188 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking horsetail with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Equisetum myriochaetum has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in clinical research. In an animal diabetic model, Equisetum giganteum had hypoglycemic effects. It is unclear whether other horsetail species have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, taking horsetail with diuretic drugs might increase potassium loss and the risk of hypokalemia.
Laboratory research shows that various species of horsetail have diuretic properties. Due to its diuretic effects, there has been concern that taking horsetail along with potassium-depleting diuretics might increase the risk for hypokalemia. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that taking horsetail 900 mg daily for 4 days does not affect urinary excretion of electrolytes, including potassium and sodium, despite having a diuretic effect similar to taking hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily. It is unclear if taking horsetail for a longer duration would affect electrolyte levels. Until more is known, use with caution.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Efavirenz (Sustiva)

Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of efavirenz.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral regimen that included efavirenz. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing horsetail, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of this interaction is unknown. It is also unclear if this interaction is specific to efavirenz or if it is related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, horsetail might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that horsetail has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, horsetail might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (Nrtis)

Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of NRTIs.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral therapy. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing the supplement, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of these interactions is unknown. It is also unclear if these interactions are specific to NRTIs or if they are related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.

Kidney and Bladder Cleanse Tea by Teatox Life: Common Questions

Does Kidney and Bladder Cleanse Tea by Teatox Life interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kidney and Bladder Cleanse Tea has a known interaction with 470 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kidney and Bladder Cleanse Tea 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.
Is it safe to drink this tea if I take warfarin?
No, not without checking with your doctor first. Parsley in this blend contains vitamin K, which can reduce warfarin's effects and increase your clot risk. Your doctor may need to adjust your warfarin dose or monitor you more closely if you decide to use this tea.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against it. Parsley in large amounts may stimulate the uterus, and both juniper and shavegrass have insufficient safety data in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this tea if you're pregnant.
What about while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on file to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Juniper and shavegrass are both best avoided due to lack of safety information. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the main side effects?
At typical tea doses, parsley, juniper, and shavegrass are generally well tolerated. At very high doses, parsley can cause serious effects like anemia or kidney damage—but that's not likely from drinking tea. Shavegrass used long-term may cause thiamine deficiency. Most people who drink this tea experience no problems, but stomach upset and increased bowel movements are possible.
Does this tea actually work for urinary tract infections or kidney health?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. All three main herbs in this blend—parsley, juniper, and shavegrass—are listed as having insufficient evidence for supporting kidney or bladder function, urinary tract infections, or related conditions. It's a traditional remedy, but modern research hasn't confirmed it works.
What if I'm on a diuretic (water pill)?
Check with your doctor before using this tea. Parsley, juniper, and shavegrass all have mild to moderate effects on how diuretics work, and they might increase your risk of losing too much potassium or having other complications. Your doctor can advise whether it's safe for you.
