HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Slinshot by Purus Labs

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.

Slinshot contains one active ingredient: Russian tarragon extract. Tarragon is an herb traditionally used for digestive support and flavor.

The product also includes inactive ingredients (maltodextrin, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and FD&C Blue #1) that serve as fillers and binders in the capsule.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: speed blood glucose clearance and nutrient uptake.
  • We looked for evidence on: blood sugar management, glucose metabolism, glycogen storage, carbohydrate utilization.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold does not establish that tarragon extract works for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the stated use. The rating across available data is insufficient — meaning we don't have enough reliable research yet to say whether it helps or doesn't.

If you're considering this for nausea, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about options with stronger evidence.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

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.

No adverse effects have been reported in the data we hold, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done. There is a concern about estragole, a natural component of tarragon: long-term use of estragole has raised cancer risk in animal studies, though this hasn't been shown in people.

Food amounts of tarragon are generally considered safe, but concentrated extracts like this one warrant caution. Tarragon extract is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy and lactation.

The safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Food amounts during pregnancy are probably fine, but data are limited.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

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 — Tarragon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 359 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 Slinshot, double-check if you're on any sedating drugs like benzodiazepines or antihistamines, blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin, or MAOI antidepressants. All of these have documented moderate interactions with tarragon extract.

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.

Slinshot may be considered by someone seeking nausea relief, but the evidence for tarragon's effectiveness isn't established yet. If you take a sedating drug, blood thinner, or MAOI antidepressant, this product poses a moderate interaction risk and isn't recommended without checking with your pharmacist first.

Pregnant and nursing individuals should avoid medicinal amounts. Always verify your medications before starting.

Russian Tarragon extract3 drug types · 359 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, tarragon might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Evidence from animal research suggests that tarragon essential oil can cause sedation and motor impairment when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mL/kg. Theoretically, concomitant use of tarragon with CNS depressants, including antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants, may increase sedative and other adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

In vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B enzymes. Theoretically, concomitant use with MAOIs might increase the effects and adverse effects associated with MAOIs.
