HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kiwi Kleanse (Natural Kiwi Flavor) by Priority One Nutritional Supplements

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

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Kiwi Kleanse contains two active ingredients: marshmallow and kiwifruit. The product also includes inactive ingredients — dextrose, vegetable magnesium stearate, xylitol, stearic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, lactic acid, citric acid, glycerin, and natural kiwifruit flavor — which serve as fillers, binders, and flavor.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that either ingredient in this product works for any condition. Marshmallow has insufficient reliable evidence to rate for vaginal yeast infections, diarrhea, leg ulcers, eczema, and respiratory infections.

Kiwifruit similarly lacks sufficient evidence for asthma, constipation, high blood pressure, and irritable bowel syndrome. If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Marshmallow Kiwi

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 1 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Marshmallow is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited. The safety data advise against marshmallow during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information.

Kiwifruit as a normal food is safe for most people, but concentrated kiwi supplements haven't been well studied. However, some people have allergic reactions to kiwi — ranging from itching and swelling of the lips and mouth to serious reactions like anaphylaxis and asthma flare-ups — so if you've ever reacted to kiwi, avoid this product.

Nausea, diarrhea, and acute pancreatitis have also been reported with kiwi.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Marshmallow Kiwi

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Marshmallow, Kiwi.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,045 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 Kiwi Kleanse, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, heparin, or aspirin) — kiwifruit may increase bleeding risk. Blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs) are also a concern because kiwi lowers blood pressure.

If you take lithium, it's important to discuss this product with your pharmacist, as marshmallow may affect lithium levels.

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 Kleanse isn't proven effective for any condition in our data, and it carries real interaction risks if you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or lithium. If you're on any prescription drugs — especially those categories — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Even if you're not on medications, check with them if you've had an allergic reaction to kiwi.

Marshmallow3 drug types · 2,040 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, due to potential diuretic effects, marshmallow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Marshmallow is thought to have diuretic properties. To avoid lithium toxicity, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when used with marshmallow.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, marshmallow flower might have antiplatelet effects.
Animal research suggests that marshmallow flower extract has antiplatelet effects. However, the root and leaf of marshmallow, not the flower, are the plant parts most commonly found in dietary supplements. Theoretically, use of marshmallow flower with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs can have additive effects, and might increase the risk for bleeding in some patients.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, mucilage in marshmallow might impair absorption of oral drugs.
Marshmallow contains mucilage which can affect oral drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take marshmallow 30-60 minutes after oral medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Kiwifruit2 drug types · 289 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Kiwi Kleanse (Natural Kiwi Flavor) by Priority One Nutritional Supplements: Common Questions

Does Kiwi Kleanse (Natural Kiwi Flavor) by Priority One Nutritional Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kiwi Kleanse (Natural Kiwi Flavor) has a known interaction with 2,044 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kiwi Kleanse (Natural Kiwi Flavor) contains 2 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against marshmallow during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe. Kiwifruit is rated as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on normal food use, but the supplement form hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in these situations.
What if I'm allergic to kiwi?
Don't take this product. Kiwi allergies can be serious — reactions range from swelling of the lips and mouth to anaphylaxis and asthma flare-ups. If you've ever had any reaction to kiwi, avoid Kiwi Kleanse.
Does this actually work for constipation or any health problem?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that either ingredient works for constipation, asthma, high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, or any other condition. Both ingredients are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence. If you're looking to treat a specific condition, ask your doctor what has proven evidence behind it.
Why should I space this 30–60 minutes from other medicines?
Marshmallow contains mucilage, which can coat your digestive tract and impair how your body absorbs other oral medications. Taking marshmallow at least 30–60 minutes after your other drugs gives them time to be absorbed properly.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Marshmallow is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited, so there's no reliable information on long-term safety. If you're thinking about using this product regularly, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.
What side effects might I have?
Marshmallow adverse effects aren't documented in our data. Kiwifruit can cause allergic reactions in some people — swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat; itching or rash; nausea; diarrhea; or in rare cases, anaphylaxis or severe asthma symptoms. Stop and seek medical help if you experience any of these after taking this product.
