HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lemon Verbena 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 is a single-ingredient liquid: lemon verbena leaf extract. The extract is suspended in alcohol, water, and glycerin.

Lemon verbena is an herb traditionally used as a tea, and this product delivers a concentrated form of it.

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

This is a single-ingredient Lemon Verbena product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lemon Verbena's own graded uses on its monograph.

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 lemon verbena works for joint pain, multiple sclerosis, exercise-induced muscle damage, or other conditions — the rating for each is insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the science isn't settled yet in the data we have.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Verbena

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.

Lemon verbena leaf extract is generally well tolerated when used as a tea or food. The safety data on concentrated extracts like this liquid is thinner, so caution is warranted.

Topically, contact dermatitis can occur. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe for those periods, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and considering this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Verbena

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lemon Verbena.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 22 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 benzodiazepines — sedating anxiety and sleep medications — before taking this product. The risk is Moderate sedation and respiratory depression.

No other interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

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.

If you don't take benzodiazepines and aren't pregnant or breastfeeding, this extract is likely well tolerated. If you do take a benzodiazepine or fall into a pregnancy or breastfeeding category, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

The evidence for what it treats isn't established yet, so be clear on why you're considering it.

Can I take this if I'm on a benzodiazepine like Xanax or Ativan?
Not without checking first. This product has a documented Moderate interaction with benzodiazepines — it may increase drowsiness and slow your breathing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe for you before you start.

What are the inactive ingredients?
The liquid uses alcohol, water, and glycerin to suspend the extract — these are the carriers and preservatives, not active ingredients.
