HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Natura 801 by AN American Nutriceuticals

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 Aug 27, 2026

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 10 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Natura 801 contains 10 ingredients, mostly traditional Chinese herbs. The active components include Panax notoginseng (San Qi), two forms of poria mushroom (Fu Ling and Zhu Ling), blond psyllium (Che Qian Zi), angelica root (Bai Zhi), and pagoda tree flower (Huai Mi).

Lu Xian Cao, Tu Fu Ling, Xuan Fu Hua, and Chuan Xiong round out the formula. The capsules themselves are made from vegetable cellulose.

Does it work?

Strong 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Effective" (Blond Psyllium) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Likely Effective" (Blond Psyllium) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hyperlipidemia — rated "Likely Effective" (Blond Psyllium) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Angina — rated "Possibly Effective" (Panax Notoginseng) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Stroke — rated "Possibly Effective" (Panax Notoginseng) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for most of these herbs is limited. Panax notoginseng shows possibly effective evidence for angina and stroke, though it is rated possibly ineffective for heart attack.

Blond psyllium is effective for constipation and likely effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. The poria mushroom, pagoda tree, and angelica ingredients are rated insufficient evidence — meaning the data we hold doesn't establish whether they work for their traditional uses like fatigue, dementia, hemorrhoids, or menopausal symptoms.

If you're considering this product for a specific condition, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports its use for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Poria Mushroom Panax Notoginseng Pagoda Tree Angelica Archangelica Blond Psyllium

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of these ingredients are generally well tolerated in traditional use, but human safety studies are limited. The most common side effects from Panax notoginseng are dry mouth, flushed skin, insomnia, nausea, nervousness, and rash.

Blond psyllium may cause abdominal pain, gas, constipation, or diarrhea, and rarely allergic reactions including swelling and anaphylaxis. Angelica can cause photosensitivity (sun sensitivity) and constipation.

Poria mushroom and pagoda tree have rarely caused allergic reactions. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Panax notoginseng is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Angelica and pagoda tree should be avoided in pregnancy, and neither has enough safety data for breastfeeding. Poria mushroom is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Blond psyllium is rated likely safe in pregnancy but use only under your doctor's supervision. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, discuss this product with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

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?
  • 5 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Poria Mushroom, Pagoda Tree, Angelica Archangelica, Blond Psyllium, Panax Notoginseng.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,087 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 Natura 801, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners like warfarin (moderate risk of bleeding), heart or seizure medications (absorption concerns), diabetes drugs like metformin, mood stabilizers like lithium, or any antibiotic that increases sun sensitivity (doxycycline). Panax notoginseng and blond psyllium can also interact with caffeine metabolism and with sedatives.

No interactions are documented for Lu Xian Cao, Tu Fu Ling, Xuan Fu Hua, or Chuan Xiong, as we hold no data for those ingredients.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Natura 801 is a multi-herb blend with possible benefit for angina and stroke (via Panax notoginseng) and constipation or cholesterol (via blond psyllium), though most other traditional uses lack established evidence. Because it contains herbs that interact with blood thinners, seizure medications, diabetes drugs, mood stabilizers, and photosensitizing antibiotics—and because pregnancy safety is a concern for several ingredients—it's essential to check your medications with the tool on this page and discuss the product with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Natura 801 with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Che Qian Zi7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, blond psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Blond psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption and serum levels. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking blond psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in blond psyllium might decrease the absorption of lithium. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, blond psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases metformin absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)

Theoretically, taking blond psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in blond psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was taken concomitantly with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, taking blond psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Ethinyl Estradiol

Theoretically, taking blond psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. However, this is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Conversely, case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Fu Ling3 drug types · 417 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, poria mushroom might decrease the clinical effects of anticholinergic drugs.
In animal research, poria mushroom essential oil reduces acetylcholinesterase activity. This interaction has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, poria mushroom might have additive effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
In animal research, poria mushroom essential oil reduces acetylcholinesterase activity. This interaction has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, taking poria mushroom extract may enhance the therapeutic and adverse effects of sedatives.
Animal research shows that poria mushroom extract has sedative properties. This interaction has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fu Ling full monograph & interactions

Bai Zhi1 drug type · 335 drugs

Photosensitizing Drugs

Angelica archangelica, whether ingested or applied to the skin, has the potential to induce photosensitivity reactions. It is advised that patients using Angelica archangelica in any form should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. When combined with photosensitizing drugs like doxycycline, there is an elevated risk of photosensitivity reactions. Patients should be cautioned to take appropriate sun protection measures and monitor for any signs of skin irritation or photosensitivity when using these substances concomitantly. (Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10630112/)

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Bai Zhi full monograph & interactions

San Qi4 drug types · 207 drugs

Aspirin

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng concomitantly with aspirin may increase the risk of adverse effects from both products.
Animal research shows that taking Panax notoginseng extract with aspirin increases blood levels of salicylic acid by approximately 50% and blood levels of Panax notoginseng by 75% to 196%. This effect may be due to increased absorption of both products.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Caffeine

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng may decrease the levels and clinical effects of caffeine.
Animal research shows that administering Panax notoginseng intravenously for 7 days before intraperitoneal injection of caffeine can decrease maximal blood levels of caffeine by 37%. This interaction is attributed to the ability of Panax notoginseng to increase the activity of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzymes.

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

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Animal research shows that administering Panax notoginseng intravenously for 7 days before intraperitoneal injection of caffeine can decrease maximal blood levels of caffeine by 37%. This interaction was attributed to the ability of Panax notoginseng to increase the activity of CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng concomitantly with warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding.
Animal research shows that taking Panax notoginseng concomitantly with warfarin increases plasma warfarin levels, prothrombin time, and international normalized ratio when compared with control. In vitro research also suggests that Panax notoginseng may downregulate expression of cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes, which may affect warfarin metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
San Qi full monograph & interactions

Huai Mi1 drug type · 29 drugs

Caffeine

Theoretically, pagoda tree might reduce the clearance of caffeine.
Pagoda tree contains genistein. Taking genistein 1 gram daily for 14 days seems to inhibit caffeine clearance and metabolism in healthy females. This effect has been attributed to inhibition of the cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme, which is involved in caffeine metabolism. It is unclear if this effect occurs with the lower amounts of genistein found in pagoda tree.

Natura 801 by AN American Nutriceuticals: Common Questions

Does Natura 801 by AN American Nutriceuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Natura 801 has a known interaction with 2,086 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Natura 801 contains 10 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.
Can I take Natura 801 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Panax notoginseng is rated likely unsafe in both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Angelica and pagoda tree should be avoided in pregnancy, and poria mushroom isn't recommended for either. Blond psyllium is rated likely safe in pregnancy, but only under your doctor's supervision. The safety of the other herbs during pregnancy or breastfeeding isn't established. You need to talk this over with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance on your specific situation.
What is Panax notoginseng in this product supposed to do?
Panax notoginseng (San Qi) has possibly effective evidence for angina and stroke. It's been used to support blood flow and circulation. That said, it comes with interaction risks — especially with blood thinners — so it's not right for everyone.
Does this product help with constipation?
Blond psyllium (Che Qian Zi) in the formula is rated effective for constipation. However, it can cause gas, bloating, or diarrhea in some people, and you need to drink plenty of water with it to avoid bowel obstruction. If constipation is your main concern, ask your doctor whether psyllium alone or a different approach makes sense for you.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
The herbs in Natura 801 affect how your body absorbs or processes drugs in several ways. Panax notoginseng may thin the blood and change how your liver breaks down certain medications. Blond psyllium is a fiber that binds to drugs in your gut and slows their absorption. Poria mushroom can enhance sedative effects. That's why it's critical to check your specific medications before starting.
What are the most common side effects?
Panax notoginseng may cause dry mouth, insomnia, nausea, nervousness, or rash. Blond psyllium may cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea. Angelica can cause photosensitivity (sun sensitivity) and constipation. Allergic reactions are rare but have been reported with the mushroom ingredients.
Can I take Natura 801 with caffeine or stimulants?
Panax notoginseng may reduce caffeine levels and effectiveness, and pagoda tree may slow caffeine clearance. If you rely on caffeine for energy or take stimulant medications, talk with your pharmacist about timing and whether this product is a good fit for you.
