HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry 1,000 mg by Nature's Answer

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 10, 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 one active ingredient: red raspberry leaf extract at 1,000 mg per serving. The liquid also includes vegetable glycerin, purified water, and 12–15% certified organic alcohol as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Red Raspberry product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Red Raspberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Promotes digestive health”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate red raspberry for aging skin, heart disease, respiratory infections, heart failure, or diabetes. That means the data doesn't yet support a specific claim for any of these uses — not that it doesn't work, just that the research isn't settled.

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 fruit and leaf are generally well tolerated, though safety data is limited. The most common side effects from the leaf are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and stomach pain, though these don't typically happen at standard doses.

One case of occupational asthma from inhaling red raspberry powder has been reported. Red raspberry is listed as likely safe or possibly safe in pregnancy, but safety isn't well established — use only under your provider's guidance if you're pregnant.

There isn't enough reliable information to confirm safety while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Red Raspberry

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 your medications against blood thinners (anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs) and insulin. Both carry Moderate interaction risk with red raspberry leaf.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Red raspberry leaf extract may be worth considering if you're looking for a traditional herbal supplement, but it does interact with blood thinners and insulin — two serious medication classes. If you take either of those, or any other prescription drugs, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Same step — get personalized guidance from your provider.

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.

Raspberry 1,000 mg by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Raspberry 1,000 mg by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry 1,000 mg 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?
Raspberry 1,000 mg 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.
Is red raspberry leaf safe to use during pregnancy?
Red raspberry is listed as likely safe or possibly safe in pregnancy, but safety isn't well established. It's often used in late pregnancy traditionally, but you should only use it under your doctor's guidance. Talk with your provider before taking it.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
We don't have enough reliable information to confirm safety during breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.
What are the side effects of red raspberry leaf?
Most common side effects are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and stomach pain, though these don't usually occur at typical doses. One case of asthma from inhaling red raspberry powder has been reported, but that's occupational exposure — not typical oral use.
Does red raspberry leaf actually work for diabetes or heart disease?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate red raspberry for diabetes, heart disease, heart failure, or respiratory infections. That means research hasn't yet settled whether it works for those uses.
Why does this liquid product contain alcohol?
This is a liquid extract form, and the product contains 12–15% certified organic alcohol. If you need to avoid alcohol for any reason, check with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this form is right for you.
I take insulin. Can I safely use this supplement?
Red raspberry leaf may lower blood sugar in people on insulin, and one case report documented a patient who developed low blood sugar after three days of regular use. Don't take this without clearing it with your doctor or pharmacist first — they can advise whether it's safe for your situation.
