HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sang Bai Pi 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.

Sang Bai Pi contains one active ingredient: certified organic white mulberry leaf extract. White mulberry leaf has been studied for its effects on blood sugar, cholesterol, bone health, and immune function, though the evidence for most of these uses remains limited.

The product also contains vegetable palm glycerin and pharmaceutical grade alcohol as inactive ingredients to preserve the liquid extract.

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 White Mulberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see White Mulberry'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 for white mulberry leaf's effectiveness isn't established in our data. The product has been studied for androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss), osteoporosis, common cold, diabetes, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), but all of these conditions carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence—meaning we don't yet have enough quality research to know whether it actually works for them.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient White Mulberry

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.

White mulberry leaf is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. In clinical studies, some people experienced bloating, flatulence, loose stools, or constipation—but these side effects often lessened over time and were transient.

You should know that concentrated supplements are less studied than the food form, and they do lower blood sugar. There isn't enough safety data to recommend white mulberry leaf in medicinal amounts during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.

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 — White Mulberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 87 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 Sang Bai Pi, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (there's a Moderate risk of low blood sugar) or medications that are OCT2 substrates cleared by your kidneys (there's a Moderate risk that this product could slow their elimination and increase side effects). Metformin is a common example of the second group.

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.

Sang Bai Pi might interest someone looking to support blood sugar balance, though the evidence for its effectiveness isn't yet established. If you take antidiabetes medications or drugs that your kidneys clear, you should check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Digestive side effects like bloating or loose stools can happen but often fade, and you'll want to monitor your blood sugar if you're on diabetes medication.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, white mulberry leaf might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that white mulberry leaf can lower blood glucose levels. Advise patients to monitor glucose levels closely.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Organic Cation Transporter 2 (Oct2) Substrates

Theoretically, white mulberry leaf might slow the elimination and increase the adverse effects of drugs which are OCT2 substrates.
Animal research shows that coadministration of white mulberry leaf extract with metformin, an OCT2 substrate, slows the renal elimination of metformin via inhibition of OCT2 activity. OCT2 is expressed in the kidneys and is responsible for transporting cationic drugs into tubular epithelial cells in order to be excreted in the urine.

Sang Bai Pi by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Sang Bai Pi by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sang Bai Pi has a known interaction with 87 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sang Bai Pi 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.
Will this lower my blood sugar if I'm not diabetic?
White mulberry leaf can lower blood glucose levels in general, which is why it needs to be monitored closely if you take antidiabetes medication. If you don't have diabetes, the effect is less of a concern—but if you have any blood sugar concerns, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common are bloating, flatulence, loose stools, and constipation. In one study, about half the people taking it experienced bloating and gas, a quarter had loose stools, and a fifth had constipation. The good news: these effects often improved as people kept taking it.
Is this product safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend medicinal amounts of white mulberry leaf during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What's the difference between Sang Bai Pi and white mulberry leaf?
Sang Bai Pi is the traditional Chinese name for white mulberry bark. This product contains an extract of the certified organic form, which concentrates the active compounds in a liquid format.
Does this actually work for blood sugar or cholesterol?
The evidence isn't established yet. Research has looked at white mulberry leaf for diabetes and high cholesterol, but we don't have enough quality data to say whether it really works for these conditions.
