HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services

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

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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: an infusion of amaranth (a traditional plant material used in botanical preparations). The infusion is prepared in a 1:6000 ratio, meaning the plant matter is significantly diluted.

The inactive ingredients are water and brandy, which serve as the liquid base and preservative.

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 Amaranth product and its label doesn't state a use — see Amaranth'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 does not establish that amaranth is effective for any of these purposes. For high cholesterol, it's been rated possibly ineffective.

For iron deficiency anemia and peptic ulcers, there's insufficient reliable evidence to know whether it works. If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Amaranth

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Amaranth is generally well tolerated as a food, but medicinal supplement doses—including concentrated forms like this essence—have not been well studied. The safety data we hold advises caution with supplement-level amounts.

There isn't enough data on file to know whether this product is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Amaranth

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Even so, if you take any medications and want to be thorough, you can search your specific drugs in the interaction tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence is an amaranth infusion with no documented medication interactions, but its effectiveness for any health purpose is not established in our data. Because supplement-level doses of amaranth haven't been well studied, it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine—especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a specific health condition you're hoping to address.

Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services: Common Questions

Does Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence 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.
What is Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence made from?
It's an infusion of amaranth (the plant Amaranthus caudatus), diluted in a ratio of 1 part plant to 6000 parts liquid. The base liquid is water and brandy, which preserves the preparation.
Does this work for high cholesterol or anemia?
The evidence we hold shows amaranth is possibly ineffective for high cholesterol. For iron deficiency anemia, there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it helps. If you're managing either of these conditions, talk with your doctor about whether this essence is right for you.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on file to know whether this product is safe during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.
Are there any side effects?
No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold. However, because medicinal doses of amaranth haven't been well studied, the full safety picture at supplement-level doses isn't clear.
Can I take this with my medications?
No interactions are documented in our data for amaranth. Even so, if you take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs and want to be sure, check your specific medications using the interaction tool on this page or ask your pharmacist.
