HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phyto-Gen Meno-gen by Genestra Brands

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 Sep 3, 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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Phyto-Gen Meno-gen contains three active plant extracts: Mugo Pine bud, Raspberry young shoot, and Lingonberry young shoot. The product is a liquid delivered in water, ethanol, and glycerin.

The Mugo Pine and Raspberry provide the main active ingredient profile, while Lingonberry rounds out the botanical blend.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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 this product's effectiveness isn't well established in the data we hold. Red raspberry has insufficient reliable evidence to rate for aging skin, heart health, respiratory infections, heart failure, and diabetes.

Lingonberry similarly lacks solid evidence for dental plaque and urinary tract infection prevention. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, it's worth talking with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the science supports its use for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Red Raspberry Lingonberry

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Red raspberry young shoot extract is generally well tolerated, though safety data is limited. The most common side effects are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and stomach pain—though these don't typically happen at normal doses.

Lingonberry is also generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied; it may cause nausea and vomiting in some people due to its high tannin content. Red raspberry is rated possibly to likely safe in pregnancy but only with provider guidance, and there isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding.

Lingonberry is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy and lactation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Red Raspberry Lingonberry

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 2 matched ingredients 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.

Check before starting if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (moderate risk of increased bleeding), or insulin or diabetes medications (moderate risk of low blood sugar). We hold no data on how Mugo Pine bud extract interacts with medications, so that's another reason to discuss this product with your pharmacist.

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.

This product may be worth considering if you're exploring herbal support for menopause, but the scientific evidence for what it does isn't solid. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or insulin, you need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting—the raspberry content could affect how these drugs work.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Same conversation with your healthcare provider is essential, given the mixed safety ratings here.

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.

Phyto-Gen Meno-gen by Genestra Brands: Common Questions

Does Phyto-Gen Meno-gen by Genestra Brands interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Phyto-Gen Meno-gen has a known interaction with 135 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Phyto-Gen Meno-gen contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Red raspberry rates as possibly to likely safe in pregnancy, but safety isn't well established and you should use it only with your provider's guidance. Lingonberry, on the other hand, is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're further along in pregnancy.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to know if red raspberry is safe while breastfeeding, and lingonberry is rated likely unsafe. Discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common ones reported for red raspberry are diarrhea, stomach upset, and upper belly pain, though these don't happen often at typical doses. Lingonberry may cause nausea and vomiting in some people because of its tannin content. A case of asthma-like breathing trouble from inhaling red raspberry powder has been reported, though that's rare and involves inhalation, not oral use.
Does this product actually work for menopause symptoms?
The evidence isn't established yet. Red raspberry lacks sufficient reliable evidence to rate for the conditions it's typically used for, and lingonberry is in the same boat. If you're considering it for menopause support, ask your doctor whether the current science backs it up.
What's in this liquid besides the plant extracts?
It's made with purified water, ethanol, and glycerin—these are the inactive ingredients that make up the liquid base and help preserve the product.
Why do I need to check my medications?
The raspberry content can interact with blood thinners and insulin in ways that might change how those drugs work and affect your safety. It's not something you should guess about—your pharmacist or doctor needs to know about it.
