HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sacred Lotus Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm

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

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: Sacred Lotus Stamen Extract in dried form. The inactive ingredients are glycerin and water.

Lotus stamen has been used traditionally for several purposes, though the evidence supporting these uses isn't well established in clinical research. The extract is prepared as a non-alcohol liquid, making it easier to take if you prefer to avoid alcohol-based supplements.

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 Lotus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lotus'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 supporting Sacred Lotus for any of its traditional uses — nausea and vomiting, sore throat, insomnia, weight management, heavy menstrual bleeding, or bleeding — is currently insufficient. That means the data we hold doesn't establish whether it works for these purposes.

If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the evidence actually shows and whether there are other options with stronger support.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lotus

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.

Lotus root is common as a food, but the safety of concentrated supplements hasn't been well studied in humans. The main caution from our data is that allergic reactions — including hives and contact dermatitis (a skin rash from touching the plant) — have been reported, including in a case of a child who broke out in hives after eating lotus root.

Safety data isn't established for breastfeeding, so avoid this supplement if you're nursing. Pregnancy safety data also isn't on file, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy.

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 — Lotus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 212 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 product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — there's a Moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also flag it if you take diabetes medications, since lotus may lower blood sugar too far, or if you use pentobarbital or other sedatives, where drowsiness could become stronger.

Altogether, these interactions span 211 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in lotus's traditional uses, but the science doesn't yet confirm it works for any of them. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or sedatives like pentobarbital, you'll need to check with your pharmacist first — the interactions are real enough to matter.

Anyone with a history of allergic reactions to plants should also be cautious. Talk with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

Sacred Lotus Stamen Extract, Dry3 drug types · 212 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of lotus with other antiplatelet drugs might reduce platelet aggregation and increase the risk of bleeding.
Neferine and isoliensinine, constituents of lotus, have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, in vitro. These constituents can inhibit the production of pro-aggregating factors like prostaglandins.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, lotus might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that the ethanolic extract of lotus reduces blood glucose levels and potentiates the effects of injected insulin. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, taking lotus concomitantly with pentobarbital might increase sedation.
Animal research shows that lotus extract increases pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this effect occurs with other barbiturates or sedatives.

Sacred Lotus Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Sacred Lotus Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sacred Lotus Non-Alcohol has a known interaction with 212 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sacred Lotus Non-Alcohol 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.
Can I take Sacred Lotus if I'm pregnant?
We don't have safety data on file for lotus in pregnancy. Since you're making a decision for two, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you before you start.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data to recommend concentrated lotus supplements during breastfeeding. Avoid it while nursing and talk with your pharmacist about safer options if you need support.
Does this actually help with nausea, insomnia, or weight loss?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Lotus is used traditionally for these purposes, but we don't have reliable clinical research showing it works. If one of these is why you're considering it, ask your pharmacist or doctor about options with stronger support.
What are the side effects?
The main concern is allergic reactions like hives or a rash from touching the plant or ingesting it. These reactions have been reported, including in a young child. If you've had allergies to plants or herbs before, be extra careful and talk with your pharmacist.
Is this safe since lotus is a food?
Lotus root as a food is common and generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements are a different story. The safety of medicinal amounts hasn't been well studied in humans, so our data advises caution with supplement use.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin or another blood thinner?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Lotus can theoretically slow down how your blood clots when combined with these medications, raising the risk of bleeding. Always verify before you start.
