HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ora-Multi Balanced Blend Of 9 Glandulars by Douglas Laboratories
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
This product contains 7 ingredients: a proprietary glandular blend and six individual glandular extracts — duodenum, liver, thymus, kidney, pancreas, raw adrenal, and heart. The blend is designed to provide concentrated tissue from various organs and glands.
The inactive ingredients are gelatin (capsule material), cellulose, and vegetable stearate.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold isn't established for this product. Liver extract has been rated possibly ineffective for chronic fatigue syndrome, and the data on its use for hepatitis C is insufficient to rate.
We don't have effectiveness ratings for the other glandular ingredients in this blend.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
No adverse reactions have been reported, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been conducted. There's concern about potential contamination because liver extract comes from raw animal liver from slaughterhouses — possibly from sick or diseased animals.
Liver products can also deliver very high levels of vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby, so avoid it in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise. The safety of glandular products hasn't been well studied overall; check with your doctor before using.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take warfarin (a blood thinner) or iron supplements, mention this product to your pharmacist before you start — the liver extract may reduce warfarin's effect or increase your iron intake. We couldn't check several of the other glandular ingredients against medications because interaction data isn't available for them.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a glandular extract blend with limited evidence on how well it works. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, you should check with your pharmacist first — the liver extract may affect how they work.
Talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you're pregnant or concerned about product sourcing.

Ora-Multi Balanced Blend Of 9 Glandulars by Douglas Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Ora-Multi Balanced Blend Of 9 Glandulars by Douglas Laboratories contains liver extract, which carries two minor interactions we've documented.
Liver extract can contain small amounts of vitamin K, which may theoretically reduce how well warfarin (Coumadin) works and lower your INR — though this hasn't been directly studied in humans. It can also contain heme iron; taking it alongside iron supplements or iron-containing medications may increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron buildup, especially at higher doses or with prolonged use.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Although no adverse reactions have been reported in the data we hold, several of this product's other ingredients — duodenum, thymus, kidney, pancreas, raw adrenal, and heart — couldn't be checked against medication interactions because we don't have interaction data on file for them. Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Ora-Multi Balanced Blend Of 9 Glandulars with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Liver
Iron
Liver extract can contain heme iron. Taking liver extract with iron-containing medications or supplements may increase total iron intake and could increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects or excessive iron accumulation. The risk is greater with high doses, prolonged use, or in individuals with hemochromatosis or another iron-overload disorder. Review the iron content of the liver extract and the total elemental iron dose. Avoid unnecessary duplicate iron supplementation and consider monitoring ferritin and transferrin saturation when clinically appropriate.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Liver extract products may contain small and variable amounts of vitamin K. Theoretically, starting, stopping, or substantially changing the amount of liver extract used could reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and lower the INR. However, this interaction has not been directly studied or reported in humans, and the vitamin K content of liver extract products is generally not standardized. Consider monitoring the INR after a meaningful change in liver extract use.
