HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Perilla Oil 1000 mg by Source Naturals

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

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Perilla Seed Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (3 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

Perilla Oil 1000 mg supplies three omega fatty acids: omega-3 (as DHA, docosahexaenoic acid), omega-6, and omega-9. These are delivered in a softgel capsule with gelatin, glycerin, and purified water as inactive ingredients.

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 Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha)'s own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Alzheimer disease, Asthma, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Atopic disease — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha) is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha) is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Alzheimer disease, Cognitive function.
  • Also on file: Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha) is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Atopic disease, Atrial fibrillation, Coronary heart disease (CHD).

The omega-3 component (DHA) in this product is rated possibly effective for preterm labor and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol and triglycerides). However, it's rated possibly ineffective for cognitive function and ADHD.

Evidence for the other omega fatty acids in this product isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Perilla Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha)

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.

DHA is generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses for most adults. The most common side effects from oral DHA are belching, fishy aftertaste, loose stools, and nausea.

Rare serious concerns include increased bleeding risk at very high doses. DHA is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though the safety data advises using it only under your doctor's guidance and choosing a purified, low-mercury source.

If you're breastfeeding, DHA does pass into breast milk and is generally considered acceptable, but check with your doctor on the dose and source.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Perilla Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha)

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 — Docosahexaenoic Acid (dha).
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 375 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 starting this product, double-check it with your pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — the DHA may add to their effect and lower your blood pressure more. Blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs and diabetes medications also need review, as DHA may increase bleeding risk theoretically and may raise blood sugar in type 2 diabetes.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

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

This omega-3 supplement may help with cholesterol and triglyceride levels or preterm labor prevention — talk to your doctor about whether it's right for you. If you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners, or diabetes drugs, check with your pharmacist first: the DHA in this product interacts with all three.

Otherwise, expect occasional fishy aftertaste or loose stools.

FDA Statement of Identity

Dietary Supplement

Formula

Source of plant based omega-3 fatty acids Perilla Oil 1,000 mg

Perilla oil, extracted from the plant Perilla frutescens, is a source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is a precursor to the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. ALA is similar to fish oil in its benefits, but without any unpleasant aftertaste. ALA may support the health of many organs and body systems, including the cardiovascular system, immune system, skin, brain, and joints. Population and animal studies suggest an association between high dietary intake of ALA and breast and colon health.

Suggested Use: 3 softgels twice daily with food.

Perilla Oil 1000 mg by Source Naturals: Common Questions

Does Perilla Oil 1000 mg by Source Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Perilla Oil 1000 mg has a known interaction with 375 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Perilla Oil 1000 mg 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 this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
DHA is rated likely safe in both pregnancy and breastfeeding, but use only under your doctor's guidance and make sure your source is purified and low in mercury. DHA does pass into breast milk and is generally considered acceptable, though you should confirm the dose and source with your doctor.
What are the side effects I might notice?
Most common are belching, fishy aftertaste, loose stools, and nausea. Rare reports include rash, acne, or increased hair loss, though it's unclear if those are directly tied to DHA. At very high doses, there's a rare concern about increased bleeding risk.
Will this actually help my cholesterol?
The omega-3 (DHA) in this product is rated possibly effective for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides. Whether it works for you depends on your individual situation — talk to your doctor about your results.
Can this help with focus or ADHD?
The evidence doesn't support that — DHA is rated possibly ineffective for both cognitive function and ADHD based on the data we hold.
Does this product have any fillers?
The inactive ingredients are gelatin, glycerin, and purified water — just the capsule and its contents.
