HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nelumbo nucifera Extract by Herbadiet

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

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: Nelumbo nucifera extract powder, commonly called lotus. It's the dried, concentrated form of lotus — all of the active compounds are in here together.

There are no inactive fillers or binders listed.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: stimulates blood circulation.
  • We looked for evidence on: circulation, blood flow, vascular function.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence on lotus for the conditions listed in our data — nausea and vomiting, sore throat (pharyngitis), insomnia, weight loss (obesity), heavy periods (menorrhagia), and bleeding — is insufficient to rate. In other words, reliable human studies establishing whether it actually works for these purposes aren't yet available in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lotus

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.

Lotus is common as a food, but safety from concentrated medicinal supplements hasn't been well studied in humans. The safety data advises against using supplement amounts because there isn't enough information.

Allergic reactions — hives (urticaria) and contact dermatitis — can occur when lotus root is eaten or touches the skin, though reactions appear uncommon. There isn't enough safety data to know whether lotus is safe during breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 — Lotus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 212 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 lotus extract, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, diabetes medications, or any sedative or sleeping pill. All three drug types have documented Moderate-severity interactions with lotus that could change how your treatment works.

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.

Herbadiet's lotus extract may interest people exploring traditional plant uses, but the evidence for its specific health claims isn't established in the data we hold. More important: if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or sedatives, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — the moderate interactions are real and could affect how your drugs work or raise your bleeding or low-blood-sugar risk.

Allergic reactions are possible for some people.

Nelumbo nucifera extract powder3 drug types · 212 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of lotus with other antiplatelet drugs might reduce platelet aggregation and increase the risk of bleeding.
Neferine and isoliensinine, constituents of lotus, have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro. These constituents can inhibit the production of pro-aggregating factors like prostaglandins.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, lotus might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that the ethanolic extract of lotus reduces blood glucose levels and potentiates the effects of injected insulin. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, taking lotus concomitantly with pentobarbital might increase sedation.
Animal research shows that lotus extract increases pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this effect occurs with other barbiturates or sedatives.

Nelumbo nucifera Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Nelumbo nucifera Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nelumbo nucifera Extract has a known interaction with 212 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nelumbo nucifera Extract 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 on aspirin or warfarin?
Not without checking first. Lotus can slow down platelet clumping, just like blood thinners do, so together they could raise your bleeding risk. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you add it to your medications.
Will this help my blood sugar?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Animal research suggests lotus lowers glucose, but we don't have reliable human studies to confirm it works for people. If you have diabetes and are curious, that's a conversation for your doctor — especially since lotus could potentially make your medications work too well and lower your blood sugar too much.
Can I take it while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. The data advises against it during breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's okay for your situation.
Are there any side effects?
Allergic reactions — hives or skin rashes — can happen when people eat lotus or it touches their skin, though they're not common. Lotus is eaten as food regularly, but safety from concentrated supplements hasn't been well studied, so concentrated use carries uncertainty.
Is this just one ingredient?
Yes — it's Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) extract powder. There are no other active ingredients or fillers added.
