HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phyto-Gen Raspberry Young Shoot 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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains a single active ingredient: red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) young shoot extract in liquid form. The inactive ingredients are water, purified ethanol (alcohol), and glycerin, which act as carriers and preservatives in the liquid formulation.

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 we hold doesn't establish that red raspberry leaf works for the purposes it's often marketed for. Insufficient reliable evidence exists to rate its effectiveness for aging skin, heart and circulatory conditions, respiratory infections, heart failure, or diabetes.

If you're considering it for any of these uses, talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports it for your situation.

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 is generally well tolerated by most adults, though safety data is limited. The most common side effects reported with the leaf form are diarrhea, stomach upset, and upper abdominal pain—though these don't usually occur at typical doses.

A rare case of occupational asthma from inhaling raspberry powder has been reported, but that's a different exposure route than taking this liquid. For pregnancy, the safety data advises caution.

Red raspberry leaf is often used in late pregnancy, but safety isn't well established—use it only with your doctor's guidance if you're pregnant. We don't have enough reliable information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing.

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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications—the extract may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you're on insulin, as the raspberry leaf might lower your blood sugar.

These are Moderate-severity interactions and need clearance from your own provider.

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 your doctor recommends it, but the evidence for its effectiveness is incomplete. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or insulin, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it, because interactions are documented.

Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before adding it to your routine.

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.
