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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 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 9 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Herbal Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,945 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Nine Flavor Tea contains 9 active ingredients drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The starred players are dong quai root extract (for blood and circulation), wild yam (traditionally used around menopause), rehmannia raw root extract (for kidney and blood health), poria mushroom extract (a fungal polysaccharide), and isatis root extract (an immune herb).

You'll also find glehnia root extract, asiatic dogwood fruit extract, ophiopogon root extract, and asian water plantain rhizome extract—all traditional tonics with limited modern research. The capsules themselves are hypromellose and rice, which are inactive ingredients.

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: Psoriasis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Isatis) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Rehmannia) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Nine Flavor Tea's ingredients is sparse. Rehmannia root extract is possibly effective for chronic kidney disease; that's the strongest claim in the data we hold.

Everything else—wild yam for menopausal symptoms, dong quai for anemia or heart health, poria for fatigue or diabetes, isatis for respiratory infections, and the remaining herbs—falls into insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean they don't work in practice, just that the clinical evidence hasn't been established yet in the sources we track.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild Yam Dong Quai Isatis Poria Mushroom Asian Water Plantain Rehmannia

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 4 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.

Most of these herbs are generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety data are thin. Wild yam is the exception—it's likely fine short-term but avoid it in pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to lack of safety data.

Dong quai carries the same caution for pregnancy (possibly unsafe) and breastfeeding, plus it can make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Poria, isatis, rehmannia, asian water plantain, and glehnia also lack sufficient pregnancy and breastfeeding data; the safety notes advise against use in both.

The most common side effects from wild yam are headache, fever, upset stomach, and vomiting. Dong quai may cause burping and gas.

Poria rarely triggers allergic reactions. One case linked a combination product containing asian water plantain to severe liver and kidney damage, though it's unclear if the extract alone was responsible.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 5 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Poria Mushroom, Asian Water Plantain, Dong Quai, Wild Yam, Rehmannia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 988 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 pharmacist if you're on warfarin or any other blood thinner or antiplatelet drug (Major and Moderate risk of bleeding). Also double-check if you take estrogen therapy or hormone replacement, blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, sedatives, or any anticholinergic or cholinergic drugs (all Moderate risk).

We have no documented interactions for isatis root extract; for glehnia, ophiopogon, and the proprietary blend components we could not fully check, no data are on file.

Nephrotoxic Drugs

Studies on animals have shown that Asian water plantain extract, which contains triterpenoids, is generally safe at doses up to 1440 mg/kg orally daily and does not cause harm to the body. However, using a higher dose of the extract, at 33.3 grams/kg orally for 60 days, has been linked to kidney issues, as indicated by increased blood urea nitrogen levels, and enlargement of the liver and kidneys. Additionally, two components of Asian water plantain, alisol A and alisol B, when given in doses of 400 mg/kg daily and 500 mg/kg daily respectively for 6 months, have been found to increase the production of markers that suggest potential kidney damage from certain medications. While these findings suggest there is very little risk that Asian water plantain may interact with drugs that are harmful to the kidneys, caution is still advised if combined with known nephrotoxic drugs (source: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28408883/)

Dong Quai root extract3 drug types · 163 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with warfarin.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of dong quai with warfarin can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case, after 4 weeks of taking dong quai 565 mg once or twice daily, the international normalized ratio (INR) increased to 4.9. The INR normalized 4 weeks after discontinuation of dong quai.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal studies suggest that dong quai has antithrombin activity and inhibits platelet aggregation due to its coumarin components. Additionally, some case reports in humans suggest that dong quai can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. However, clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking 1 gram of dong quai root daily for 3 weeks does not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation or cause bleeding. Until more is known, use dong quai with caution in patients taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, dong quai may reduce the effects of estrogens.
Dong quai has estrogenic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of dong quai might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.

Does Nine Flavor Tea by Health Concerns interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nine Flavor Tea has a known interaction with 988 medications, including 2 rated major. 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.
Is Nine Flavor Tea safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Multiple ingredients—wild yam, dong quai, isatis, poria, rehmannia, and asian water plantain—lack sufficient safety data in pregnancy and lactation, and the safety notes advise against use in both. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What does rehmannia do in this blend?
Rehmannia raw root extract is traditionally used in Chinese medicine for kidney and blood health. The strongest evidence we have is that it's possibly effective for chronic kidney disease, though human safety data remain limited.
Will this help with menopausal symptoms?
Wild yam is often marketed for menopause, but the evidence says it's possibly ineffective for menopausal symptoms. The other ingredients in this blend lack enough evidence to make that claim either.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners like warfarin?
No—not without checking first with your pharmacist or doctor. Dong quai in this blend has a Major interaction with warfarin and can increase your bleeding risk. Even other blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs have documented Moderate interactions with dong quai and poria in this blend.
Are there any common side effects from these herbs?
Most are well tolerated, but wild yam can cause headache, fever, upset stomach, and vomiting—especially at higher doses. Dong quai may cause burping and gas. Poria rarely triggers allergic reactions. Long-term safety data are limited for all of them.
Can I take this with my blood pressure or diabetes medication?
Check with your pharmacist first. Rehmannia in this blend theoretically lowers blood pressure and blood sugar further, which could add to your medication's effect. That's a Moderate interaction risk that needs a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist.
