HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kiwi Fruit Extract by Everyday Health
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: kiwi fruit extract. The capsule also holds magnesium stearate and gelatin as inactive ingredients — these are binders and capsule material, not active components.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for kiwi isn't established yet. Our data rates kiwi as having insufficient reliable evidence to determine whether it works for asthma, constipation, high blood pressure, or irritable bowel syndrome.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say for certain. If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence shows and what might work best for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Kiwi fruit as a food is generally well tolerated and likely safe for most people. However, concentrated kiwi supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly as the whole fruit, so the safety notes advise talking with your doctor before using a supplement like this one.
Some people have allergic reactions to kiwi — these can range from itching or swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat, to nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, or in rare cases, serious reactions like anaphylaxis or worsening asthma. If you've had a reaction to kiwi fruit before, this product isn't for you.
Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding, kiwi is rated as likely safe in those contexts, though as always, talk with your doctor about any supplement before taking it during pregnancy or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets like warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or enoxaparin) or blood pressure medications (antihypertensives like captopril or enalapril). Both carry Moderate interaction risk with kiwi.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Kiwi extract is a single-ingredient supplement that's generally well tolerated, but it can interact with blood thinners and blood pressure medications — both Moderate concerns. If you take either of those drug types, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this.
It's also not right for anyone with a known kiwi allergy. The evidence for its effectiveness isn't yet established in our data.

Kiwi Fruit Extract by Everyday Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Kiwi Fruit Extract by Everyday Health can interact with two major drug categories.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs): kiwi inhibits platelet aggregation, which may increase bleeding risk when combined with medications like warfarin (Coumadin), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, and others. This is a Moderate severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other Moderate concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives). Kiwi may lower blood pressure on its own, so taking it alongside drugs like captopril (Capoten) or enalapril (Vasotec) could push your blood pressure too low.
Altogether, these interactions span 289 individual medications.
Before you start this supplement, run your current medications through the checker on this page. If you take any blood thinner or blood pressure drug, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first — they'll know your specific situation and can tell you whether it's okay to use.

Kiwi Fruit Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Clinical research suggests that kiwi inhibits platelet aggregation. Theoretically, kiwi might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Clinical research suggests that consuming kiwi reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Theoretically, concomitant use of kiwi and antihypertensive drugs may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with drugs that lower blood pressure. These include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
