HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Lemongrass 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: lemongrass. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inert shell that holds the ingredient.

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: relieves stress and anxiety, boosts red blood cells.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety disorder, Stress disorder, Anemia.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold for lemongrass doesn't establish it as effective for any of the conditions it's marketed for — headache, common cold, cough, diabetes, epilepsy, and fatigue all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the data available to us isn't solid enough to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemongrass

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Lemongrass in food amounts is considered likely safe, but the safety data for medicinal or concentrated extracts and essential oils is limited. The safety notes in our data advise caution with concentrated forms and suggest avoiding medicinal amounts because of that gap in the evidence and some traditional safety concerns.

Pregnancy safety is rated as likely unsafe, so the data advises against use during pregnancy. Lactation safety data isn't on file for this ingredient, so there isn't enough information to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lemongrass

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lemongrass.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 709 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 product, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take pentobarbital or other sedatives (Moderate risk), CYP3A4 substrates like certain statins or blood pressure medications (Moderate risk), or any drugs that undergo glucuronidation (Moderate risk). Altogether, these interactions span 709 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Lemongrass at food levels is generally well tolerated, but this product delivers a concentrated medicinal dose. If you take any regular medications — especially sedatives, blood pressure drugs, statins, or anything you know is metabolized by your liver — check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this.

Pregnant individuals should avoid it based on the safety data.

Organic Lemongrass by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Organic Lemongrass by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Lemongrass has a known interaction with 708 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Lemongrass 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.
Is lemongrass safe to use while I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data rates it as likely unsafe during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid medicinal amounts. Talk with your doctor about what's safe for you.
Can I use lemongrass if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on file to know whether lemongrass passes into breast milk or could affect a nursing infant. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
Does this product actually work for headaches, colds, or the other conditions listed?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does. All the conditions on the label — headache, cold, cough, diabetes, epilepsy, and fatigue — are rated insufficient reliable evidence, meaning the data available isn't solid enough to say it works for any of them.
Why does the label say to avoid medicinal amounts?
Lemongrass in food amounts is considered safe, but concentrated extracts and essential oils have less safety data behind them. The caution advises sticking to occasional food use rather than taking it as a supplement in higher doses.
What's inside the capsule besides lemongrass?
Just a vegetable cellulose shell, which is the capsule material itself — no fillers or added inactive ingredients.
