HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Marjoram Alcohol Free 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

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: marjoram berry extract in concentrated dry form. Marjoram is an herb traditionally used for various purposes, though the evidence supporting its effectiveness for specific conditions is limited.

The liquid also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Marjoram product and its label doesn't state a use — see Marjoram'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 supporting marjoram for asthma, Parkinson disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and dysmenorrhea is not established in our data. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — just that we don't hold reliable research backing its use for these conditions yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Marjoram

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.

Marjoram is generally well tolerated as a food seasoning, but concentrated extracts and essential oils have limited human safety data. A small number of trial participants using essential oils (including sweet marjoram) over an extended period experienced allergic skin reactions, particularly those with a history of childhood eczema.

One case report described a woman whose skin inflammation worsened after eating marjoram-seasoned food and resolved when she stopped. Medicinal or concentrated doses should be avoided during pregnancy due to lack of safety data.

Food amounts are likely fine, but high-dose supplements are not recommended. Safety data for breastfeeding is not on file.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity), anticholinergic medications (Moderate severity), or cholinergic drugs (Moderate severity). No other drug interactions are documented for this ingredient in our data.

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.

Marjoram extract may be worth considering if you're exploring herbal options for certain conditions, but the evidence supporting it isn't strong yet. If you take blood thinners, Parkinson or Alzheimer medications, or anticholinergic drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting.

Marjoram Berry Extract, Dry3 drug types · 338 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with anticholinergic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of marjoram or the anticholinergic agent.
Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, marjoram might increase the risk of bleeding when used in medicinal amounts along with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with cholinergic drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).

Marjoram Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Marjoram Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Marjoram Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 338 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Marjoram Alcohol Free 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 take this if I'm pregnant?
Safety data doesn't support using medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy. Food amounts are likely okay, but this supplement is a concentrated extract. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you right now.
Does marjoram really work for asthma, PCOS, or period pain?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works for asthma, Parkinson disease, PCOS, or dysmenorrhea. If you're considering it for one of these, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.
What are the possible side effects?
Most people tolerate marjoram well as a food. In trials, a few people — especially those with a history of childhood eczema — had allergic skin reactions. One case report described worsening skin inflammation after eating marjoram-seasoned food, which resolved when the person stopped eating it.
Is this the same as marjoram essential oil?
This is a concentrated berry extract in liquid form, not the essential oil. However, like essential oils, concentrated extracts have limited safety data in people, so the cautions about pregnancy and medicinal dosing still apply.
