HelloPharmacist Scorecard of LymphaQOL by OncoQOL

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.

LymphaQOL contains one active ingredient: yellow sweetclover extract. The product also includes inactive ingredients — hypromellose capsule, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and leucine — which are fillers and binders that help form and fill the capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Sweet Clover's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promotes healthy lymphatic flow.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), Hemorrhoids, Postoperative swelling, lymphedema, lymphatic dysfunction, edema.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sweet Clover is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Sweet Clover is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hemorrhoids, Postoperative swelling.

The evidence for yellow sweetclover in this product isn't established. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for chronic venous insufficiency (swelling and heaviness in the legs from poor circulation), diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain from diabetes), hemorrhoids, or postoperative pain.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies we have don't yet prove it does.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Clover

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.

Sweetclover is generally used in small amounts, but its coumarin content (a compound that affects bleeding and liver function) means you should be cautious. In rare cases, large amounts can cause headache or even liver injury — one case report described a woman who developed jaundiced skin after taking a sweetclover supplement with 10 mg of coumarin daily.

There's also one report of bleeding problems after someone took a multi-herb tea containing sweetclover and other coumarin-rich herbs for two months, though it's unclear whether sweetclover alone was responsible. The safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or considering either.

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 — Sweet Clover.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 481 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 LymphaQOL, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, dabigatran, or aspirin) — the sweetclover extract might increase bleeding risk. Also flag any medications that stress the liver (hepatotoxic drugs).

No interactions are documented in our data for other ingredient categories we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

LymphaQOL is a single-ingredient product best suited for people with chronic venous insufficiency or related conditions who are not on blood thinners or liver-stressing medications. If you take any anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or medications that affect the liver, you'll need to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it and talk with your healthcare provider about safer options.

Yellow Sweetclover extract2 drug types · 480 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, fresh sweet clover might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Fresh sweet clover contains coumarinic acids, which are converted to free coumarins during drying. Dicoumarol, which has anticoagulant activity, also has been found in some sweet clover preparations and can be formed if fresh sweet clover is allowed to spoil.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of sweet clover with hepatoxic drugs might increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Orally, large amounts of sweet clover can cause transient liver injury in susceptible individuals, possibly due to coumarin content. In one case report, a patient with multiple sclerosis developed jaundiced palms and a slight elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) after taking sweet clover containing coumarin 10 mg daily for 3 years. Two weeks after starting therapy with subcutaneous interferon (IFN)-beta 1b, aspartate transaminase (AST) and ALT levels increased to 7 and 17 times the upper limit of normal, respectively. Levels normalized after discontinuation of both products. Subsequent use of IFN-beta 1a alone, without sweet clover, resulted in only a very slight increase in AST.

LymphaQOL by OncoQOL: Common Questions

Does LymphaQOL by OncoQOL interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, LymphaQOL has a known interaction with 480 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
LymphaQOL 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 yellow sweetclover extract supposed to do?
Yellow sweetclover extract is used in traditional herbalism for chronic venous insufficiency — that's the swelling and heaviness you feel in your legs when circulation isn't great. We don't yet have solid evidence it works for that condition or for nerve pain, hemorrhoids, or postoperative pain, though that doesn't mean it won't help you.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Sweetclover contains compounds that have anticoagulant activity — meaning they can thin your blood — so combining it with prescription blood thinners could increase your bleeding risk. Your healthcare provider needs to weigh the benefits against that risk for your situation.
Is it safe to take large amounts of this?
No. While this product is meant to be used in small amounts, large doses of sweetclover can cause liver injury in some people and have been tied to headache and even bleeding problems when combined with other coumarin-containing herbs. Stick to the label dose and tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking it.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided in both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what might work better for you during these times.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Headache has been reported rarely. The main concern is liver injury — one documented case involved jaundiced skin and elevated liver enzymes. There's also a report of bleeding problems after someone took a multi-herb tea containing sweetclover for two months, though it's not clear whether sweetclover alone caused it.
Does this product contain any fillers or binders?
Yes. Besides the active sweetclover extract, it contains microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (a plant-derived capsule material), silicon dioxide, and leucine — all inactive ingredients that help form the capsule and keep the product stable.
