HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Wild Orange by Zongle Therapeutics

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 product contains one active ingredient: orange, wild (a liquid form). It also includes cold-pressed wild orange oil as an inactive ingredient.

Because this is a liquid concentrate rather than eating fresh fruit, the orange content is more concentrated than you'd get from eating an orange at the table.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Sweet Orange's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant and immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: immune function, seasonal wellness, oxidative stress.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sweet Orange is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Stress (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that wild orange is effective for any of the conditions studied—pre-procedural anxiety, asthma, prostate cancer, common cold, constipation, and depression all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical data isn't there yet or isn't strong enough to say.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Orange

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.

Sweet orange fruit and juice are generally well tolerated as food for most people. However, this product is a concentrated liquid, and concentrated orange supplements or essential oils haven't been studied as well as the whole fruit, so use caution with concentrated forms.

There have been reports of intestinal cramping in children after large amounts of orange peel. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, sweet orange is rated likely safe.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take any oral medications—especially cholesterol drugs like pravastatin, antihistamines like fexofenadine, antibiotics, antiparasitics, or beta blockers—you'll want to check with your pharmacist before using this concentrated product. The whole fruit is fine in normal amounts, but concentrated liquids like this one carry more interaction risk.

Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether this fits your medications.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Organic Wild Orange 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.

Orange, Wild7 drug types · 246 drugs

Celiprolol (Celicard)

Consuming sweet orange with celiprolol can decrease oral absorption of celiprolol.
A pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that celiprolol levels, after a single dose of 100 mg, are decreased by up to 90% in people who drink sweet orange juice 200 mL three times daily. It's not known if lower consumption of sweet orange juice will have the same effect. Theoretically, this occurs due to short-term inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP). Recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange by at least 4 hours.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Ivermectin (Stromectol, Others)

Consuming sweet orange juice with ivermectin can decrease the oral absorption of ivermectin.
A pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking ivermectin orally with sweet orange juice 750 mL over 4 hours reduces the bioavailability of ivermectin. This effect does not seem to be related to effects on P-glycoprotein. The effect on ivermectin is more pronounced in males compared to females.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Consuming sweet orange juice can decrease oral absorption of OATP substrates. Separate administration by at least 4 hours.
Clinical research shows that consuming sweet orange juice inhibits OATP, which reduces bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP. For example, sweet orange juice decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine, a substrate of OATP, by about 72% and of celiprolol, another OATP substrate, by up to 90%. Since sweet orange juice seems to affect OATP for a short time, recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange juice by at least 4 hours.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Pravastatin (Pravachol)

Consuming sweet orange juice with pravastatin can increase the absorption of pravastatin.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that consuming sweet orange juice 800 mL over 3 hours, including before, during, and after taking pravastatin 10 mg, increases pravastatin levels by about 149%, without affecting pravastatin elimination. Theoretically this effect might be due to modulation of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) by sweet orange juice. Sweet orange juice does not seem to affect simvastatin levels, but it is not known if sweet orange affects any of the other statins.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Consuming sweet orange juice with fexofenadine can decrease oral absorption of fexofenadine.
Clinical research shows that coadministration of sweet orange juice 1200 mL decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by about 72%. In an animal model, sweet orange juice decreased bioavailability of fexofenadine by 31%. Fexofenadine manufacturer data indicates that concomitant administration of sweet orange juice and fexofenadine results in larger wheal and flare sizes in research models. This suggests that sweet orange reduces the clinical response to fexofenadine. Theoretically, this occurs due to short-term inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP). Recommend separating drug administration and consumption of sweet orange by at least 4 hours.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Sweet orange juice seems to modulate P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which might affect the blood levels of P-gp substrates.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that orange juice extract inhibits drug efflux by P-gp, increasing absorption and levels of P-gp substrates. In contrast, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking large amounts of sweet orange juice decreases absorption and levels of the P-gp substrate celiprolol. This suggests that orange juice actually induces drug efflux by P-gp or affects drug levels by another mechanism such as inhibiting the gut drug transporter called organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP). Until more is known, sweet orange juice should be used cautiously in people taking P-gp substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Quinolone Antibiotics

Calcium-fortified sweet orange juice might reduce quinolone absorption.
Calcium binds to quinolones in the gut. Theoretically, the calcium in certain fortified orange juices can also bind to quinolone antibiotics and reduce their absorption and levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Organic Wild Orange by Zongle Therapeutics: Common Questions

Does Organic Wild Orange by Zongle Therapeutics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Wild Orange has a known interaction with 246 medications, including 48 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Wild Orange 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 wild orange safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Sweet orange is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, this product is a concentrated liquid, not whole fruit, and concentrated supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this particular form is right for you during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can I just eat a regular orange instead of taking this liquid?
Yes—eating the whole fruit is fine. The difference is that this is a concentrated liquid, which delivers much more orange in a smaller volume and is more likely to interact with certain medications. If you're on prescription drugs, the whole fruit is a safer choice.
What does this product actually do? Does it treat anything?
We don't have evidence in our data that wild orange is effective for the conditions that have been studied—colds, asthma, constipation, depression, anxiety, or prostate cancer. The evidence is insufficient to rate it for any of these.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Sweet orange is generally well tolerated. One reported side effect is intestinal cramping in children who eat large amounts of orange peel. Concentrated supplements and oils haven't been studied as thoroughly as the whole fruit, so use caution with this liquid form if you're not used to it.
Can I take this with my allergy medicine?
If your allergy medicine is fexofenadine (Allegra), wild orange can cut its absorption by about 72%, making it less effective. Check with your pharmacist about your specific medication and whether you need to space the doses apart or switch products.
Why does this interact with so many drugs?
Wild orange (like sweet orange in general) contains compounds that affect how your gut absorbs medications. It can block transporters that move drugs across your intestinal wall, either reducing their absorption or sometimes increasing it—which is why the effect depends on which drug you're taking.
