HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Red Raspberry Leaf by Mountain Meadow Herbs

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 Jul 11, 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. It's a liquid form, so you get the herb in solution rather than as a dried leaf or capsule.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Pregnancy and labor support, menstrual health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Labor pain, Menorrhagia, Parturition, Pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting, Postpartum recovery — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Red Raspberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Red Raspberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Labor pain, Parturition, Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia.

The evidence for red raspberry leaf is limited. We don't have reliable data showing it works for aging skin, heart disease, respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, or diabetes—the conditions it's most commonly marketed for.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we simply don't have the studies to prove it either way yet.

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 by most adults, though the overall safety evidence is limited. The most common side effects are mild: diarrhea, stomach upset, and upper belly pain—but these don't usually happen at typical doses.

One rare case of occupational asthma (from inhaling the powder) has been reported. Safety during pregnancy isn't well established, even though the herb is often used late in pregnancy.

Safety while breastfeeding isn't known. Talk with your doctor or midwife before using this if you're pregnant or 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.

Before you take this, check whether you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—red raspberry leaf may increase bleeding risk. If you take insulin or other diabetes medications, verify those too, since the leaf may lower your blood sugar.

Use the medication checker below to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Red raspberry leaf may appeal to you if you're interested in herbal support, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't solid yet. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or insulin, check your medications with the tool on this page before starting.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and any existing health condition warrant a conversation with your pharmacist or doctor first.

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.
