HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Leaf Tea by Earth Mama Organics

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.50 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This tea contains one active ingredient: red raspberry leaf. You'll find no other active components in the blend—just the leaf itself.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Red Raspberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support women's menstrual and reproductive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia, Parturition, Labor pain, menstrual regularity, uterine tone.
  • The closest evidence on file: Red Raspberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Labor pain (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Red Raspberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Parturition, Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia.

The evidence for red raspberry leaf doesn't yet support its use for most health claims. We hold ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for aging skin, cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract infections, heart failure, and diabetes.

That means the science isn't there yet to say it works for these purposes. If a specific use isn't listed here, we don't have an effectiveness rating for it in our data.

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 leaf is generally well tolerated, though safety data remains limited. The most common side effects are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and stomach pain—but these don't usually happen at typical doses.

One rare case of occupational asthma from inhaling red raspberry powder has been reported. For pregnancy, the data is mixed: red raspberry is rated both Likely Safe and Possibly Safe in different contexts, but safety isn't well established, so use it only under your provider's guidance.

We don't have enough reliable information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this tea during pregnancy or while nursing.

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.

Blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) and insulin are the two medication types you need to check before taking this tea. Both carry Moderate-severity interaction concerns with red raspberry leaf.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether this product is okay for you if you're on either of these.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Raspberry Leaf Tea by Earth Mama Organics is generally well tolerated, but if you take blood thinners or insulin, you'll want to flag this with your doctor or pharmacist first. The evidence doesn't yet support it for the common health claims made about it.

It's a reasonable choice for someone wanting a gentle herbal tea, but run your medications through the checker on this page before starting.

Think of everything from helping your uterus wrap her mind around the challenge of childbirth, to helping with your favorite time of the month (you know, THAT one...). Sip as often as you like. Because raspberry leaf and your uterus will become new best friends. Also? It's a great way to ease occasional diarrhea.

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.
