HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Qing Hao Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has one active ingredient: Artemisia annua herb extract, dry, which our data links to the Sweet Annie monograph. It is the herb extract the product is built around, and the research on it covers allergic rhinitis (hay fever), malaria, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and osteoarthritis.

The remaining listed ingredients are inactive: glycerin and water. These are not active ingredients, and the product's full formulation beyond what is listed here is not something our data covers.

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 Sweet Annie's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Sweet Annie 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: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), the evidence is rated Possibly Effective. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, malaria, and osteoarthritis, the rating is Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate, which means the evidence for those uses is not established in the data we hold.

These ratings describe the research on Artemisia annua, and they do not guarantee results from this specific liquid.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Annie

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.

Sweet Annie is generally well tolerated, with nausea and vomiting as the most common side effects. Serious liver harm (hepatotoxicity) is listed as a rare side effect.

In one reported case, a 52-year-old taking artemisinin developed hepatitis, and symptoms resolved within two weeks of stopping, though it is not certain the supplement caused the liver disease. A mild allergic reaction with rash and cough has also been reported, and some people allergic to Sweet Annie have reported numbness of the tongue and throat itching with low sublingual doses.

Our safety notes say it is generally used short-term, that quality and dose vary widely, and that it should not replace proven treatments. The notes advise avoiding it during pregnancy because of possible harm to the developing baby, and say there is not enough safety information to use it while breastfeeding, so avoiding it is advised there as well.

Artemisia annua Herb Extract, Dry3 drug types · 892 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates

Sweet Annie may alter plasma levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that the Sweet Annie constituent artemisinin induces CYP2B6, possibly increasing CYP2B6 activity by 1.6-fold. However, Sweet Annie extract seems to inhibit the activity of CYP2B6 in vitro, suggesting that other constituents of Sweet Annie play a role in its effects on the overall activity of this enzyme. More information is needed to determine whether taking Sweet Annie extract affects the metabolism of CYP2B6 substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Sweet Annie may alter plasma levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that the Sweet Annie constituent artemisinin induces CYP3A4, possibly increasing CYP3A4 activity by 1.9-fold. However, Sweet Annie extract seems to inhibit the activity of CYP3A4 in vitro, suggesting that other constituents of Sweet Annie play a role in its effects on the overall activity of this enzyme. More information is needed to determine whether taking Sweet Annie extract affects the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use might have additive adverse hepatotoxic effects.
There is some concern that Sweet Annie can adversely affect the liver.
