HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lipo Ashwagandha by Lotus Blooming Herbs

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary LipoAshwagandha sCO2 Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Lipo Ashwagandha contains 2 active ingredients: withania somnifera (ashwagandha) root extract in two delivery forms — a standard root extract and a supercritical CO2 oil extract — both designed to maximize absorption. The inactive ingredients are cellulose, sunflower lecithin, medium-chain triglyceride oil, phospholipid, wax, glycerin, neutral spirits, and purified water.

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: Stress relief and general well-being support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Anxiety, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Fatigue, Insomnia, Athletic performance — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Ashwagandha is rated "Possibly Effective" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Ashwagandha is rated "Possibly Effective" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia, Stress.
  • Also on file: Ashwagandha is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Chemotherapy-related fatigue, Fatigue.

Ashwagandha is possibly effective for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder according to the evidence we hold. For bipolar disorder, the data we have isn't reliable enough to rate it either way.

Most of the research supporting its use focuses on these stress and sleep-related concerns rather than other conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ashwagandha

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.

Ashwagandha is generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, though long-term and quality safety data are limited. The most common side effects — diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting — rarely occur at typical doses.

Rare but serious concerns include liver damage (hepatitis, liver failure) and, in one case, intracranial bleeding linked to blood vessel constriction. Drowsiness is a reported effect.

The safety data advises against ashwagandha during pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to risk miscarriage, and there isn't enough information to know if it's safe while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ashwagandha

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 — Ashwagandha.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,373 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you take drugs that affect your liver, blood pressure medications, sedatives or anxiety medications (especially benzodiazepines), diabetes medications, thyroid hormones, immune-suppressing drugs, or any medication processed by the liver enzyme CYP1A2. These represent the Moderate and Minor interaction risks documented for ashwagandha.

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.

If you take blood pressure meds, diabetes medications, sedatives, benzodiazepines, thyroid hormones, or drugs that suppress your immune system, you need to check this product with your pharmacist first. Even if you're generally healthy, ashwagandha isn't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

It may help with sleep and anxiety, but run your exact medications through our checker before you start.

Withania somnifera Root Extract10 drug types · 1,372 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
There is preliminary clinical evidence suggesting that ashwagandha might lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research suggests that ashwagandha might lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Benzodiazepines

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of benzodiazepines.
There is preliminary evidence that ashwagandha might have an additive effect with diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Klonopin). This may also occur with other benzodiazepines.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Ashwagandha seems to have sedative effects. Theoretically, this may potentiate the effects of barbiturates, other sedatives, and anxiolytics.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
Ashwagandha has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, autoimmune hepatitis, the need for liver transplantation, and death due to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might decrease the effects of immunosuppressants.
Ashwagandha has demonstrated immunostimulant effects in humans. Animal research has shown that ashwagandha can attenuate the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Ashwagandha might increase the effects and adverse effects of thyroid hormone.
Concomitant use of ashwagandha with thyroid hormones may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects. Preliminary clinical research and animal studies suggest that ashwagandha boosts thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. In one clinical study, ashwagandha increased triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels by 41.5% and 19.6%, respectively, and reduced serum TSH levels by 17.4% from baseline in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism.

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

Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Some animal studies have reported that ashwagandha can enhance serotonergic transmission by altering certain serotonin (5-HT) receptors. However, there is no evidence to suggest that ashwagandha increases the risk of serotonin-related effects, and there have been no published case reports of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Nevertheless, due to the lack of extensive studies on the matter and the fact that ashwagandha appears to affect serotonergic pathways, it would be prudent to exercise caution when combining it with drugs that affect serotonin.

Lipo Ashwagandha by Lotus Blooming Herbs: Common Questions

Does Lipo Ashwagandha by Lotus Blooming Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lipo Ashwagandha has a known interaction with 1,372 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lipo Ashwagandha contains 2 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?
The safety data advises against ashwagandha during pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to risk miscarriage. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
At typical doses, diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting are rarely reported, though ashwagandha is generally well tolerated. Drowsiness has also been reported. Serious side effects are uncommon but include liver damage and, very rarely, bleeding in the brain.
Does ashwagandha actually help with sleep and anxiety?
Yes — ashwagandha is possibly effective for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder based on the evidence we have. That said, the research is preliminary, so results vary from person to person.
Is there a filler-free version?
This product contains several inactive ingredients — cellulose, sunflower lecithin, medium-chain triglyceride oil, phospholipid, wax, glycerin, neutral spirits, and purified water — in addition to the active ashwagandha extracts.
Why are there two forms of ashwagandha in this product?
This product includes both a standard root extract and a supercritical CO2 oil extract, both designed to improve absorption and deliver the active compounds from ashwagandha. Both forms carry the same documented interactions and safety profile.
What should I do if I'm on thyroid medication?
Ashwagandha may boost thyroid hormone levels and increase the risk of side effects, so you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor before taking this product if you're on thyroid medication like levothyroxine. Monitoring may be needed.
