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: certified organic Pink Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) dried leaf and flower liquid extract. It's formulated with menstruum, a liquid base used in herbal extracts.

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 Lotus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lotus'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 for Pink Lotus is not yet established. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for nausea and vomiting, pharyngitis, insomnia, obesity, menorrhagia, or bleeding.

It's sold as a supplement, but human studies backing these uses aren't in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lotus

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.

Pink Lotus is common as food, but its safety as a concentrated medicinal supplement hasn't been well studied in humans. The safety data we have advises against using concentrated supplements like this one.

Lotus root can trigger allergic reactions — urticaria (hives) and contact dermatitis have been reported, including in a case of a young child who developed hives after eating lotus root. There isn't enough data on file to know whether it's safe during breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 — Lotus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 212 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 Pink Lotus, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin), antidiabetes medications, or the barbiturate pentobarbital. All three categories carry Moderate risk.

The extract may increase bleeding, lower blood sugar too far, or deepen sedation.

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.

Pink Lotus may be worth considering if you're exploring herbal options for sleep, digestion, or blood sugar, but the evidence supporting it isn't yet established in our data. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or pentobarbital, you'll need to check this with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interactions are real and Moderate in severity.

Even if you don't take those drugs, discuss this product with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you have allergies or are breastfeeding.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of lotus with other antiplatelet drugs might reduce platelet aggregation and increase the risk of bleeding.
Neferine and isoliensinine, constituents of lotus, have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro. These constituents can inhibit the production of pro-aggregating factors like prostaglandins.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, lotus might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that the ethanolic extract of lotus reduces blood glucose levels and potentiates the effects of injected insulin. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, taking lotus concomitantly with pentobarbital might increase sedation.
Animal research shows that lotus extract increases pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this effect occurs with other barbiturates or sedatives.

Pink Lotus by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Pink Lotus by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pink Lotus has a known interaction with 212 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pink Lotus 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.
Can I take Pink Lotus while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it while breastfeeding — they can help you weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
What are the side effects of Pink Lotus?
Allergic reactions are the main ones we know about from the data. Lotus root can cause hives (urticaria) and contact dermatitis — a rash where the skin touches the plant. If you have a history of allergies to plants, mention this to your pharmacist.
Does Pink Lotus actually help with insomnia or other conditions?
The evidence isn't yet established. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for insomnia, nausea, sore throat, weight loss, heavy periods, or bleeding. You'd want to talk with your doctor about proven options if you're dealing with any of these.
Is Pink Lotus safe because it's used as food?
It's commonly eaten as food, which is reassuring, but concentrated medicinal supplements are different. The safety data we have advises against using concentrated lotus supplements because they haven't been well studied in humans at those doses.
What does the 'menstruum' in this product do?
Menstruum is a liquid base — typically alcohol or another solvent — used to extract and preserve the active compounds from the dried lotus leaf and flower. It's an inactive ingredient that makes the extract drinkable.
