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: maintain healthy bowel and intestinal function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Digestive health, Bowel regularity, Gut health, Intestinal function.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate strawberry leaf for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), or high blood pressure (hypertension). That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means human studies establishing benefit aren't yet available in our data.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 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.

Strawberry fruit in normal food amounts is widely eaten and generally well tolerated. When strawberry is taken in medicinal supplement doses, it's been generally well tolerated in the trials we have data for.

Rarely, some people report nausea or allergic reactions including oral allergy syndrome and skin reactions when taking it by mouth; topically, it can cause contact dermatitis. Safety data in pregnancy and while breastfeeding specifically for concentrated strawberry supplements is limited.

The safety notes advise caution with supplement doses during pregnancy and lactation, even though strawberries as food are generally fine. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 — Strawberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 316 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 this product, double-check your use of blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin, clopidogrel, dalteparin, and enoxaparin) — strawberry extract may increase bleeding risk with these. Also check if you take any p-glycoprotein substrate medications, which could accumulate to higher levels.

Strawberry Leaf Extract2 drug types · 316 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

In vitro and animal research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit platelet aggregation due to its phenolic content. Theoretically, strawberry 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
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

In vitro research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit p-glycoprotein efflux. Theoretically, strawberry might inhibit p-glycoprotein mediated drug efflux and potentially increase levels of drugs that are substrates of p-glycoprotein. Until more is known, strawberry should be used cautiously in people taking p-glycoprotein substrates.
Drugs that might be affected include some chemotherapeutic agents (etoposide, paclitaxel, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine), antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole), protease inhibitors (amprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir), H2 antagonists (cimetidine, ranitidine), some calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, verapamil), corticosteroids, erythromycin, cisapride (Propulsid), fexofenadine (Allegra), cyclosporine, loperamide (Imodium), quinidine, and others.
