HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phyto-Gen Skn-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

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 Skn-gen is a liquid formula with 3 active ingredients: extracts from Elm buds, English Walnut buds, and Cedar of Lebanon young shoots. The product is suspended in a base of purified water, ethanol, and glycerin — these are inactive ingredients that help deliver and preserve the extracts.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded English Walnut's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports English Walnut for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

English Walnut is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia). For coronary heart disease and diabetes, the evidence we hold isn't reliable enough to rate whether it works.

We have no effectiveness data on file for Elm or Cedar of Lebanon.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient English Walnut

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.

English Walnut is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though it can cause soft stools and mild bloating in some people. It may trigger oral allergy syndrome — itching in the mouth right after you take it — if you're allergic to walnuts; rarely, this can cause swelling of the lips and tongue.

If you have a tree nut allergy, avoid this product. Concentrated walnut leaf extracts haven't been well studied and aren't recommended.

Safety data for concentrated supplements of English Walnut isn't fully established, so if you're pregnant or nursing, there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for advice tailored to you. We have no safety information on file for Elm or Cedar of Lebanon.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient English Walnut

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, Elm and Cedar of Lebanon extracts haven't been reviewed, so if you're on any medications, use the interaction tool below to search your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're looking at options for cholesterol support, since English Walnut has some evidence behind it for that purpose. If you have a tree nut allergy or are pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Run your medications through the checker on this page — two of the three ingredients haven't been formally reviewed for drug interactions.
