HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nine Flavor Tea by Health Concerns

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.

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

Nine Flavor Tea contains 9 active ingredients delivered in tablet or pill form. The formula combines moutan (peony), dioscorea, alisma, cornus (American dogwood), poria mushroom, ophiopogon, rehmannia, glehnia, and schrophularia (figwort) — a blend rooted in traditional Chinese herbal practice.

These are delivered alongside inactive ingredients including vegetable gum, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and cellulose.

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

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

Moderate

Some 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: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Rehmannia) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence backing this formula is limited. Rehmannia is possibly effective for chronic kidney disease; the other ingredients have insufficient reliable evidence to establish their effectiveness for the conditions listed — aging skin, anal fissures, atherosclerosis, chronic fatigue, cirrhosis, and migraine headache are all rated as lacking adequate research in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Peony American Dogwood Poria Mushroom Rehmannia Figwort

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 2 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.

Moutan (peony) is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited. Common side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort — stomach bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and nausea — with diarrhea reported in about 5% of people taking higher doses in trials.

Skin irritation can occur with topical use. There is a rare case report of bleeding complications when peony-containing products were used alongside warfarin.

Poria mushroom is generally well tolerated but allergic reactions (allergic rhinitis or asthma) have been reported rarely. Cornus, rehmannia, and figwort have very limited human safety data.

Pregnancy: the safety data advise against moutan, poria mushroom, cornus, rehmannia, and figwort during pregnancy — avoid all five. Breastfeeding: the same ingredients lack reliable safety data while breastfeeding, so avoidance is advised for each.

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?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Peony, Poria Mushroom, Figwort, Rehmannia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,256 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 Nine Flavor Tea, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (bleeding risk is Moderate), birth control or hormone therapy (interference risk is Moderate), psychiatric or seizure medications like clozapine or phenytoin (effectiveness risk is Moderate), sedatives or sleep aids (enhancement risk is Moderate), blood pressure medications (low blood pressure risk is Moderate), diabetes medications (low blood sugar risk is Moderate), water pills or lithium (interaction risk is Moderate), or drugs affecting acetylcholine pathways. No interactions are documented for dioscorea, alisma, or ophiopogon — those ingredients were not checked.

Moutan7 drug types · 811 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, combining peony with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that peony might have antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and antithrombotic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Clozapine (Clozaril)

Theoretically, peony might increase the levels and clinical effects of clozapine.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on cytochromes P450 (CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, peony might interfere with contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Concomitant use might also increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.

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

Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of peony might interfere with hormone replacement therapy and/or increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Theoretically, peony might compete for estrogen receptors and/or cause additive estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, peony might reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking peony root reduces levels of phenytoin. Some researchers suggest that peony root might affect cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, which metabolizes phenytoin. However, preliminary research in humans shows that peony root does not alter levels of losartan (Cozaar), which is also metabolized by CYP2C9.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Moutan full monograph & interactions

Poria sclerotium3 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
Poria sclerotium full monograph & interactions

Rehmannia2 drug types · 258 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, rehmannia might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that rehmannia may have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, rehmannia might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that rehmannia may have hypotensive effects. Laboratory research shows that formulations of dried and processed rehmannia root inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Rehmannia full monograph & interactions

Schrophularia2 drug types · 76 drugs

Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, overuse of figwort might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking figwort along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia. Initiation of potassium supplementation or an increase in potassium supplement dose may be necessary for some patients. Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Figwort is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, figwort might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Nine Flavor Tea by Health Concerns: Common Questions

Does Nine Flavor Tea by Health Concerns interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nine Flavor Tea has a known interaction with 1,255 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nine Flavor Tea contains 9 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 Nine Flavor Tea if I'm on blood thinners like warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Peony in this formula theoretically increases bleeding risk, and there's a documented case of bleeding complications when a peony-containing product was used with warfarin. Your prescriber needs to know you're considering this before you start.
Can I take this if I'm on birth control?
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Peony has estrogenic activity and theoretically might interfere with how your birth control works or increase estrogen-related side effects.
What are the most common side effects?
Peony commonly causes gastrointestinal discomfort — stomach bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Diarrhea was reported in about 5% of people taking higher doses in clinical trials. Poria mushroom rarely causes allergic reactions like allergic asthma or rhinitis.
Is Nine Flavor Tea safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No — avoid it. The safety data advise against moutan, poria mushroom, cornus, rehmannia, and figwort during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. There isn't enough reliable information to consider it safe in either situation.
Will this help my diabetes or blood pressure?
The evidence isn't established in our data for either use. Rehmannia is possibly effective for chronic kidney disease, but the other ingredients lack adequate research. More importantly, if you take diabetes or blood pressure medications, combining them with this formula could lower your blood sugar or blood pressure too much — talk with your doctor first.
Does this contain any fillers?
Yes. The active ingredients are mixed with vegetable gum, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and cellulose, which are inactive ingredients used to form and stabilize the tablet.
