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 product contains one active ingredient: Calea zacatechichi extract (also called Leaf of God extract). The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin.

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 support and relaxation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Anxiety, Stress, Sleep quality, Dream recall.
  • 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 for Leaf of God extract isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for headache, rheumatoid arthritis, insomnia, stress, or skin conditions like urticaria (hives).

If you're considering it for one of these, talk with your pharmacist about what the current research actually shows.

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 medicine but little modern safety testing. The main concern we know about is nausea and vomiting — the extract is quite bitter, and some people also experience drowsiness.

Because safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is unreliable, this supplement is best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor before using it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Calea Zacatechichi

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 your exact medications before starting, especially if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, some pain relievers) or antidiabetes drugs. Both interactions are rated Minor, but they're worth confirming with your pharmacist or the tool on this page.

Leaf of God by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

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 used for?
Traditionally it's been used for headache, sleep, stress, and a few other conditions, but we don't have reliable modern evidence that it works for any of them. The safety data is also limited, so it's not a standard supplement recommendation.
Will this make me drowsy?
Yes, drowsiness and light sleep are reported in people who've tried it. If you're driving or operating machinery, be cautious. And if you already take sleep aids or sedatives, the drowsiness could add up.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data to know whether it's okay, so it's best to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor before using it in these situations.
What are the side effects?
The most common ones reported are nausea, vomiting, and a bitter taste. Drowsiness and light sleep also occur. There isn't a lot of modern safety data on this ingredient, so other effects may not be well documented.
Does this affect my blood sugar?
Animal research shows Calea zacatechichi can lower blood glucose. If you take diabetes medications, combining them with this extract could theoretically lower your blood sugar too much. Check with your pharmacist first.
