HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Raspberry Leaf Tea Bags by FGO (From Great Origins)

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

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 tea contains one active ingredient: red raspberry leaf. That's it—there are no inactive fillers or other ingredients 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

This is a single-ingredient Red Raspberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Red Raspberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for red raspberry leaf is limited. The data we hold rates its effectiveness as insufficient for aging skin, cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract infections, congestive heart failure, and diabetes.

In plain terms, we don't have enough reliable research to say whether it actually works for these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Red Raspberry

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.

Red raspberry leaf is generally well tolerated by most adults, though safety data is limited. The most common side effects from oral use are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and stomach pain—but these typically don't happen at normal doses.

One rare case of occupational asthma (from inhaling raspberry powder) has been reported. If you're pregnant, red raspberry leaf is often used late in pregnancy, but safety hasn't been well established—talk with your doctor or midwife before using it.

There isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so discuss that with your healthcare provider too.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Red Raspberry

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 — Red Raspberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 135 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 you take this tea, double-check it with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—there's a moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also flag it if you take insulin or other diabetes medications, since red raspberry leaf may lower blood sugar.

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.

Red raspberry leaf tea is generally well tolerated, but if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or insulin, you need to check with your pharmacist before starting. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should talk with their doctor first.

The evidence for what this tea actually does is still pretty thin.

Formula

Earthy, tart flavor

Did you know? As its name suggests, raspberry leaf tea is made from leaf of the raspberry plant, and not the fruit. Hence, the flavor may a little unexpected it's only mildly tart and fruity, more similar to the taste of a black tea vs. an herbal fruit tea.

Select Ingredients Premium organic raspberry leaf from Germany with an earthy and mildly tart flavor.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking red raspberry leaf with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that red raspberry leaf extract has antiplatelet activity and enhances the in vitro effects of the antiplatelet medication cangrelor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Insulin

Red raspberry leaf might reduce glucose levels in patients being treated with insulin.
In one case report, a 38-year-old patient with gestational diabetes, whose blood glucose was being controlled with medical nutrition therapy and insulin, developed hypoglycemia after consuming two servings of raspberry leaf tea daily for 3 days beginning at 32 weeks' gestation. The patient required an insulin dose reduction. The hypoglycemia was considered to be probably related to use of red raspberry leaf tea.
