HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Leaf of God by Hawaii Pharm

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This liquid contains one active ingredient: wildcrafted Leaf of God extract, which is Calea zacatechichi, a plant used in traditional herbal practice. The product also includes vegetable palm glycerin and alcohol as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Calea Zacatechichi's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: sleep and relaxation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Anxiety, Stress, Sleep quality, Dream enhancement, Relaxation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Calea Zacatechichi is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Calea Zacatechichi is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress.

The evidence isn't established in our data for any of the uses this product is marketed for — headache, rheumatoid arthritis, insomnia, stress, and skin irritation (urticaria) all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical studies we hold don't support a claim either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Calea Zacatechichi

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

Calea zacatechichi has a long history in folk use but limited modern safety testing. The main concerns we know about are nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness — some people in studies reported somnolence (sleepiness) and changes in sleep quality.

Because there's no reliable safety data, the facts advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Calea Zacatechichi.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 334 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.

Check this product against any CNS depressants you take (sleep aids, sedatives, benzodiazepines, narcotic painkillers) — it may increase drowsiness. Also double-check if you're on any antidiabetes drugs, since Calea zacatechichi can lower blood glucose.

Given the breadth of documented interactions, run your exact medications through our checker.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Leaf of God is a single-ingredient herbal extract with a traditional history but minimal modern evidence for effectiveness.

Does Leaf of God by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Leaf of God has a known interaction with 334 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Leaf of God contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
What is Leaf of God extract, and what is it supposed to do?
It's an extract of Calea zacatechichi, a plant with a long folk history. The product is marketed for headache, insomnia, stress, rheumatoid arthritis, and skin irritation, but the evidence to support these claims isn't established in our data.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there's no reliable safety data, so the facts advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
What side effects should I watch for?
The main ones reported in healthy volunteers are nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. The plant has a bitter taste. Because modern safety data is limited, other effects may not be well documented.
Can I take this with my sleep medications?
Not without checking first — Calea zacatechichi can cause sedation on its own, and combining it with sleep aids or other CNS depressants might increase drowsiness. Run it through our checker with your exact medications before you start.
Is it safe to take if I have diabetes?
Animal research shows Calea zacatechichi lowers blood glucose, so it may increase your risk of low blood sugar if you're on diabetes medication. Check with your pharmacist before adding this.
