HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Linden by Herbalist & Alchemist

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 product contains one active ingredient: dried linden flower and leaf extract in a liquid form. The extract is prepared in distilled water, ethyl alcohol, and vegetable glycerin.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support for stress.
  • We looked for evidence on: anxiety, nervousness, tension.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold no effectiveness data for linden in our records, so we can't tell you whether it works for any particular purpose based on the information we have.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Linden

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.

Linden is generally well tolerated when used as a tea, but human safety data are limited. There's one case report of an allergic reaction to linden pollen in flower tea, and another of contact itching (contact urticaria) from a linden extract shampoo.

Since safety hasn't been well studied, it's worth checking with your doctor before you start. We don't have enough safety information about linden in pregnancy or while breastfeeding to say whether it's okay.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Linden

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 — Linden.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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.

If you take lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. Linden's potential diuretic effects could increase both the benefits and side effects of lithium, and your dose might need to change.

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.

Linden flower and leaf extract is generally well tolerated, but if you take lithium, you'll want to discuss this product with your doctor first — your lithium dose might need to be adjusted. For anyone else, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.

Linden by Herbalist & Alchemist: Common Questions

Does Linden by Herbalist & Alchemist interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Linden has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Linden 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.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data on linden in pregnancy or while nursing to tell you either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What are the side effects of linden?
Linden is generally well tolerated, but there's one case report of an allergic reaction to linden pollen in a flower tea, and another of contact itching from a linden extract shampoo. If you have a pollen allergy, that's worth keeping in mind.
Why does this interact with lithium?
Linden is thought to have diuretic properties — meaning it may increase urination. That can boost both the effects and side effects of lithium, so the dose might need adjustment. Your doctor can decide whether you should use them together.
What is linden used for?
The product facts don't specify a particular use for this extract. If you want to know what it's traditionally used for or whether it's right for your needs, your doctor or pharmacist can help.
