HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lemon 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: lemon peel extract (dry form). The liquid also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to carry and preserve the extract.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence supporting lemon for hay fever, anxiety, respiratory tract infections, high blood pressure, and kidney stones is insufficient — we don't have reliable data to say whether it works for these purposes. If you're considering it for one of these conditions, talk it over with your doctor to see what the current evidence supports for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lemon as a food or everyday drink is generally well tolerated. That said, concentrated supplements or essential oils haven't been studied as thoroughly, so your doctor should weigh in before you use medicinal amounts.
In trials using larger amounts of fresh lemon juice, about a third of participants reported gastrointestinal disturbances — mainly heartburn and upper belly discomfort — compared to a small number in the placebo group. Food-level lemon is fine; if you're taking this extract regularly, watch for stomach upset.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
Minor interaction: itraconazole (Sporanox) — a fungal infection medication — may reach higher levels in your blood if combined with lemon extract. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product to your regimen.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take itraconazole (an antifungal), you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. For other uses, the evidence isn't established yet.
Because larger amounts of lemon can cause heartburn and stomach upset in a fair number of people, start small and see how you feel.

In this case, the increased bioavailability was desirable and was likely due to improved tablet dissolution in the acidic beverage.
