Does it work?

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 isn't established in the data we hold. Red raspberry leaf has been studied for aging skin, heart health, respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, and diabetes, but across these uses the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness.

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 by most adults, though safety evidence is limited. The most common side effects from oral use are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and epigastric (upper stomach) pain—though these don't typically occur at standard doses.

A rare case of occupational asthma from inhaling red raspberry powder has been reported. Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding: the data shows red raspberry has been used in late pregnancy but safety is not well established, so use only with your provider's guidance.

There isn't enough reliable information to confirm safety while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation.

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, double-check your anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners) and any insulin or blood glucose medications with your pharmacist or doctor. In vitro research suggests red raspberry leaf may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners and lower blood glucose levels with insulin, though human cases are rare or unreported.

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.
