HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Legendary Pine Elixir 500 mg by Tonic Tinctures

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

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 3 active ingredients.

Legendary Pine Elixir contains 3 active ingredients. Cuscuta (also called dodder) is an herb traditionally used for skin and mood; Eurycoma longifolia is a plant root used for sexual function and athletic performance; and Pine is included in the blend, though we hold no detailed information on its role.

The capsule itself is made from vegetarian material.

Does it work?

Moderate 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Male sexual health and vitality support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related testosterone deficiency, Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male Infertility, Muscle strength, Sexual desire — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual desire (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Eurycoma Longifolia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Muscle strength, Age-related testosterone deficiency, Male Infertility.

The evidence here is thin. Eurycoma shows possibly effective evidence for sexual desire, but possibly ineffective for athletic performance.

Cuscuta has insufficient evidence to support use for depression or eczema — we simply don't have reliable trial data. Pine's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dodder Eurycoma Longifolia

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 2 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.

Cuscuta is generally well tolerated at normal doses, though high doses may cause intestinal cramping and diarrhea. Eurycoma is generally tolerated short-term in studies, but long-term safety and product quality are uncertain.

One combination study reported loss of appetite, mild indigestion, and stomach heaviness, though it's unclear which ingredient caused it. The main concern: if Eurycoma raises testosterone beyond normal range, you could develop acne, insulin resistance, liver stress, and other hormone-related side effects.

Cuscuta should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding — not enough safety data exists. Same with Eurycoma — the possible hormonal effects make it unsafe in pregnancy, and there's no reliable safety information for breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dodder Eurycoma Longifolia

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?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Eurycoma Longifolia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 with your pharmacist if you take propranolol (Inderal) — Eurycoma can reduce how well it works (Moderate severity). You should also flag any medications processed by your liver's CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP2A6 enzymes, testosterone supplements or boosters, and any medications that raise testosterone levels (all Minor severity).

No interactions are documented for Cuscuta or Pine, though we hold no data on Pine.

The bottom line

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

This product is geared toward sexual function and male vitality. If you take propranolol, heart medications, testosterone, or any prescription at all, check it with your pharmacist first — the interaction list is long.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip this one.

Long-term use hasn't been well studied, so talk to your healthcare provider about how long you plan to take it.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Legendary Pine Elixir 500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Eurycoma5 drug types · 248 drugs

Propranolol (Inderal)

Eurycoma longifolia can reduce the levels and clinical effects of propranolol.
A small clinical study in healthy persons shows that taking a single dose of a water-based Eurycoma longifolia extract 200 mg, in combination with a single dose of propranolol 80 mg, reduces the propranolol area under the curve (AUC) by 29%, reduces the peak concentration by 42%, and increases time to peak concentration by 86% when compared with control. Since the elimination half-life of propranolol did not change, it seems that Eurycoma longifolia alters the kinetics of propranolol by decreasing its absorption in the gut, and not by altering its metabolism. It is not known if separating administration will prevent this interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2A6 (Cyp2A6) Substrates

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2A6 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2A6 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia might increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that methanolic Eurycoma longifolia root extract weakly inhibits CYP2C19 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Testosterone

Theoretically, Eurycoma longifolia may further increase levels of testosterone.
A clinical study in aging males with testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL shows that taking a specific water extract of Eurycoma longifolia roots (Physta; Biotropics Malaysia) 100-200 mg daily with breakfast for 12 weeks increases total testosterone levels by 8% to 11% when compared with placebo. It is unclear whether this increase would occur in individuals with normal testosterone levels.

Legendary Pine Elixir 500 mg by Tonic Tinctures: Common Questions

Does Legendary Pine Elixir 500 mg by Tonic Tinctures interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Legendary Pine Elixir 500 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Legendary Pine Elixir 500 mg contains 3 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — both Cuscuta and Eurycoma should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Cuscuta lacks enough safety data, and Eurycoma has possible hormonal effects that make it unsafe in pregnancy and uncertain during breastfeeding. Talk to your obstetrician or pharmacist for a safer option.
What's the main thing this product is for?
Eurycoma is the active ingredient here, and it shows possibly effective evidence for sexual desire. The other two ingredients don't have solid evidence for their listed uses — depression and eczema — so Eurycoma is really the workhorse.
What side effects might I notice?
At normal doses, these ingredients are generally well tolerated. High doses of Cuscuta may cause stomach cramping and diarrhea. The bigger concern: if Eurycoma raises your testosterone too high, you could develop acne, trouble with blood sugar control, or liver stress. If you notice those, stop and call your pharmacist or doctor.
Is this safe to take long-term?
The research on long-term use is limited. Studies show short-term safety, but we don't know much about using it for months or years. Check with your healthcare provider about how long you plan to take it.
Does Pine do anything in this blend?
Pine is listed as an ingredient, but we don't hold detailed information on its role or effects in this product.
