HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lovage 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

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

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 liquid contains one active ingredient: certified organic Lovage extract. Lovage is a plant traditionally used in herbal practice, and this product delivers it as a concentrated liquid extract.

The extract is suspended in vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and artesian Hawaiian purified water.

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 Lovage product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lovage'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 for lovage is limited. For diabetic nephropathy — kidney damage related to diabetes — we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

If you're considering lovage for any health purpose, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lovage

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.

Food amounts of lovage are generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts like this one have limited safety data and need caution. The main concern is photosensitivity — long-term oral use may increase your risk of sun-related skin reactions.

If you use lovage, avoid excessive sun or UV light exposure. A few cases of contact dermatitis and photosensitivity have been reported with lovage use and handling.

Lovage is considered likely unsafe in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow. There isn't enough safety data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lovage

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 — Lovage.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 75 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 diuretic drugs (water pills) such as furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, chlorothiazide, or chlorthalidone, check your exact medication with the tool on this page before using lovage. The interaction is Moderate, and lovage's water-loss effects could interfere with how your diuretic works.

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.

Lovage may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal remedies, but it's not well studied in concentrated form. If you take any diuretics, check your medication first — lovage could theoretically interfere with them.

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should skip this product. Talk with your pharmacist before you start.
