Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check

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.

This product is pure spinach extract powder — a single active ingredient in a concentrated form. There are no other active ingredients or fillers listed.

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 Spinach product and its label doesn't state a use — see Spinach'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 spinach extract isn't established in the data we hold. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cognitive function, muscle strength, obesity, or polycystic ovary syndrome.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

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.

Spinach as a food is well tolerated and considered safe for most people, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As a supplement powder, it's generally well tolerated when taken orally.

Allergies are possible in sensitive individuals. Rare serious effects include methemoglobinemia in infants under 4 months old, and inhalation of spinach powder has been linked to lung inflammation and occupational asthma in occupational settings.

Contact dermatitis from spinach on skin has also been reported, though rarely.

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 — Spinach.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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 start, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs — spinach may lower blood glucose and could raise your risk of low blood sugar. Also check if you take warfarin (a blood thinner) — spinach's vitamin K content can interfere with how it works and may require a dose adjustment.

These are the medication types we have data for with this product.

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.

Spinach extract is a straightforward single-ingredient product that's nutritious and well tolerated as a food. If you take diabetes medications or warfarin, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it — the interactions are real and may require dose changes.

For most other people with no blood sugar or blood clotting medications, it's generally low-risk, though we don't have solid evidence it works for most of the conditions it's marketed for.

Antidiabetes Drugs

There are claims that spinach leaves have hypoglycemic effects. Evidence from clinical research suggests that consumption of a spinach-rich meal reduces post-meal blood glucose levels. Theoretically, spinach might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Spinach contains vitamin K, which can interfere with the activity of warfarin.
In human research, although eating spinach with one meal does not result in coagulation test results outside the therapeutic range, daily consumption for one week necessitates dose adjustment of warfarin. Individuals using anticoagulants should consume a consistent daily amount of spinach to maintain the effect of anticoagulant therapy.

Spinach Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Spinach Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Spinach Extract has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Spinach Extract 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.
Is spinach extract safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes. Spinach as a food is considered safe and even provides folate during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The safety data we hold rates it as likely safe.
What does spinach extract actually do?
We don't have reliable evidence to say spinach extract works for the conditions it's often marketed for — fatty liver disease, brain function, muscle strength, weight, or PCOS. The data on effectiveness isn't established. If you're taking it for a particular reason, check with your doctor.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without talking to your doctor first. Spinach may lower blood glucose on its own, and combining it with diabetes drugs could make your blood sugar drop too far. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose or monitor you closely.
I take warfarin — is spinach extract okay?
You need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Spinach is high in vitamin K, which interferes with warfarin's blood-thinning effect. If you decide to take spinach, you'll likely need your warfarin dose adjusted, and you'll need to keep your spinach intake consistent every day.
What are the side effects?
Spinach is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. Allergies are possible in sensitive people. Very rarely, infants under 4 months have developed methemoglobinemia from spinach. Inhaling spinach powder occupationally has caused lung inflammation and asthma in factory workers.
