HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Red Raspberry by L.A. Naturals

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

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic red raspberry. The liquid also includes grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients.

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 Red Raspberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Red Raspberry'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 we hold doesn't establish that red raspberry is effective for aging skin, heart disease, respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, or diabetes — the data rates all of these as insufficient to draw a conclusion. If you're considering this product for one of these uses, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

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 is generally well tolerated, though safety data is limited. The most common side effects from the leaf — diarrhea, stomach upset, and upper abdominal pain — don't usually happen at typical doses.

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

We don't have enough reliable information to confirm safety while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs) — there's a moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also double-check if you take insulin or other blood sugar medications, as red raspberry may lower glucose levels and cause dangerously low blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Red raspberry may be worth considering if you want to try a traditional herbal supplement, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. If you take blood thinners or insulin, you'll need to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist first because of moderate interaction risks.

Stomach upset can happen at higher doses. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.

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.

Red Raspberry by L.A. Naturals: Common Questions

Does Red Raspberry by L.A. Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Red Raspberry 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?
Red Raspberry 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 safe to use during pregnancy?
Red raspberry is rated likely safe or possibly safe in late pregnancy, but the safety data isn't well established. If you're pregnant and want to use this product, you'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist first to make sure it's right for your situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
We don't have enough reliable information to confirm whether red raspberry is safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing — they can give you personalized advice based on your health.
What side effects might I experience?
Red raspberry fruit is generally well tolerated. The most common potential side effects from the leaf are diarrhea, stomach upset, and upper abdominal pain, though these don't typically occur at normal doses. One case of occupational asthma from inhaling the powder has been reported.
Does red raspberry actually work for any of these conditions?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that red raspberry is effective for aging skin, heart disease, respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, or diabetes. If you're thinking about using it for one of these purposes, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh whether it's worth trying based on the current evidence.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
Red raspberry's active compounds — particularly its antiplatelet and blood-sugar-lowering effects — can interact with a broad range of blood thinners and insulin products. This doesn't mean you can't take it, but it does mean you need to check your specific medications first with your doctor or pharmacist.
