HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mimosa Pudica Seed+ by Codeage

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 2 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Cleansing Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (750 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Mimosa Pudica Seed+ contains 8 ingredients. The active ones are organic mimosa pudica (the main ingredient), plus Bioperine (black pepper extract), black walnut powder, chanca piedra extract, cloves, wormwood, neem herb extract, and vidanga fruit extract.

These are combined in a proprietary cleansing blend. The capsule itself is made from methylcellulose, a plant-based inactive ingredient.

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: Natural microbiome support formula.
  • We looked for evidence on: Intestinal parasite infection, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Diarrhea, Gastritis, Crohn disease — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Neem is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dental plaque (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Neem is rated "Possibly Effective" for Gingivitis.
  • Also on file: Clove is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dental plaque, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, and more.

The evidence we hold for these ingredients is limited. Chanca piedra is possibly effective for kidney stones.

Clove is possibly effective for ventilator-associated pneumonia (a serious lung infection in hospitalized patients). For the other uses listed — hay fever, asthma, athletic performance, headache, depression, and diarrhea (for Bioperine); heart disease and wound healing (for black walnut); hepatitis B, anemia, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (for chanca piedra); cough, acute pain, and indigestion (for clove); and biliary disorders, Crohn disease, and osteoarthritis (for wormwood) — the evidence isn't established in the data we hold.

We also don't have effectiveness information on file for neem, organic mimosa pudica, or vidanga fruit extract.

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 6 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Black pepper is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but concentrated piperine supplements should be used cautiously. The most common side effects are burning aftertaste, indigestion, and reduced taste perception.

Rare allergic reactions have occurred. Black walnut has limited safety data; short-term use may be acceptable for most adults, but long-term safety isn't well studied.

Chanca piedra is often well tolerated short-term, though thorough safety evaluation is lacking; the most common side effects are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Clove is safe as a food spice, but concentrated oil and supplements can be irritating or toxic in large amounts — clove oil at just 5–10 mL doses can be toxic in children.

Wormwood contains thujone, a nerve toxin; medicinal amounts can cause muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, kidney problems, and in severe cases seizures. Neem leaf extracts are likely safe short-term for most adults, though comprehensive safety testing is incomplete; neem oil and seed extracts can be toxic if swallowed.

Topically, neem can rarely cause contact dermatitis in sensitive people.

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?
  • 5 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Clove, Chanca Piedra, Neem, Wormwood, Black Pepper.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; seizure medications; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,288 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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take seizure medications (anticonvulsants), because wormwood may interfere with their effect. Also ask about blood pressure medications (especially propranolol), blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, HIV medications like nevirapine, antibiotics like rifampin or phenytoin, immunosuppressants, medications for asthma or breathing (theophylline), or any drug your liver metabolizes.

The ingredients contain multiple enzyme interactions that could alter drug levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, black pepper might increase blood levels of carbamazepine, potentially increasing the effects and side effects of carbamazepine.
One clinical study in patients taking carbamazepine 300 mg or 500 mg twice daily shows that taking a single 20 mg dose of purified piperine, a constituent of black pepper, increases carbamazepine levels. Piperine may increase carbamazepine absorption by increasing blood flow to the GI tract, increasing the surface area of the small intestine, or inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the gut wall. Absorption was significantly increased by 7-10 mcg/mL/hour. The time to eliminate carbamazepine was also increased by 4-8 hours. Although carbamazepine levels were increased, this did not appear to increase side effects. In vitro research also shows that piperine can increase carbamazepine levels by 11% in a time-dependent manner.

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

Theoretically, black pepper might decrease levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.

Mimosa Pudica Seed+ by Codeage: Common Questions

Does Mimosa Pudica Seed+ by Codeage interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mimosa Pudica Seed+ has a known interaction with 1,287 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mimosa Pudica Seed+ contains 8 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.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Several ingredients raise safety concerns during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Black walnut is advised against during both. Chanca piedra and neem are advised against during pregnancy. Wormwood may stimulate the uterus and is considered unsafe in pregnancy. We don't have enough safety data for vidanga fruit extract or organic mimosa pudica during these times. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before use.
What's Bioperine and why is it in this product?
Bioperine is an extract of black pepper that contains piperine, a compound that may help your body absorb other ingredients better. It's commonly added to herbal blends for this reason, but piperine can also increase blood levels of certain medications, which is why it's important to check your prescriptions first.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners?
Multiple ingredients in this product — chanca piedra, cloves, and Bioperine — may theoretically increase bleeding risk with blood thinners. You must check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them with any anticoagulant or antiplatelet drug.
Does this help with kidney stones?
Chanca piedra, one of the ingredients, is possibly effective for kidney stones according to the evidence we hold. However, the product contains seven other active ingredients with their own effects and interactions, so don't assume the full formula works the same way.
What's the most common side effect I might notice?
The most common effects from these ingredients are gastrointestinal: the black pepper can cause burning aftertaste and indigestion, and chanca piedra may cause abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. These are usually mild, but they're worth knowing about upfront.
Is there anything in this that I should definitely avoid?
Wormwood and neem oil are the most cautious ingredients. Wormwood contains thujone, which can be toxic in medicinal amounts and may interfere with seizure medications. Neem oil is toxic if swallowed, though neem leaf extracts are generally safer. If you have a seizure disorder or take seizure medication, definitely talk with your pharmacist first.
