HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sang Shen 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Sang Shen contains one active ingredient: certified organic white mulberry leaf extract. White mulberry (also called Sang Shen in traditional use) has been studied for its potential effects on blood sugar and other health markers, though the evidence for most of its traditional uses remains limited.
The liquid also contains vegetable palm glycerin and pharmaceutical-grade alcohol as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for white mulberry leaf in this product is not yet established. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for androgenic alopecia (hair loss), osteoporosis, common cold, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means larger, well-designed clinical trials haven't yet confirmed an effect for these conditions.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
White mulberry leaf appears generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. In a clinical trial, the most common side effects were bloating, constipation, flatulence, and loose stools—affecting roughly half, a quarter, and one-fifth of participants respectively at a dose of about 4.6 grams three times daily.
The good news: these digestive effects often lessened as people continued the supplement. Because the concentrated supplement is less studied than mulberry as a food, caution is warranted, especially around blood sugar control.
The safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and while breastfeeding—there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use blood sugar medications—white mulberry can lower glucose and raise hypoglycemia risk (Moderate). Also double-check if you take any OCT2 substrate drugs, a category that includes metformin and others; white mulberry may slow their clearance and increase side effects (Moderate).
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 Shen may be worth considering if you're interested in white mulberry's traditional uses, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't yet solid. If you take blood sugar medications or any drug that uses the kidney's OCT2 transporter (like metformin), you'll want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.
And if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have diabetes, that conversation becomes even more important.

Sang Shen by Hawaii Pharm Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sang Shen by Hawaii Pharm, which is a white mulberry leaf extract, does interact with medications—specifically blood sugar drugs and certain kidney-transport medications.
The most serious concern is with antidiabetes drugs (Moderate severity): white mulberry can lower blood glucose, which theoretically raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medications. Clinical research confirms that white mulberry lowers blood glucose on its own, so close monitoring is important if you take these drugs.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The product also interacts with a category of medications called OCT2 substrates (Moderate severity)—drugs that rely on a kidney transporter to clear from your body. Animal research shows white mulberry may slow how your kidneys eliminate these drugs, potentially raising their levels and side effects.
Metformin, a common diabetes medication, is one OCT2 substrate this applies to.
Altogether, these interactions span 87 individual medications. Before starting this product, check your exact prescriptions with the search tool below.

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.
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.
