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.

This product is 100 percent summer savory leaf extract in a liquid form. Summer savory is an herb traditionally used in cooking, and this supplement delivers a concentrated dose of it.

The liquid is carried in alcohol, water, and glycerin.

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 Summer Savory product and its label doesn't state a use — see Summer Savory'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.

We don't hold effectiveness data for summer savory in our records, so we can't tell you whether it works for any particular condition. If you're considering this for a specific health reason, it's worth asking your pharmacist what the evidence shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Summer Savory

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 0 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.

Summer savory used as a food seasoning is likely safe, but medicinal amounts — especially concentrated supplements like this one — haven't been well studied. The essential oil form carries extra caution.

During pregnancy, the safety data isn't there, so medicinal amounts are best avoided; food-level amounts are probably fine. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and want to use this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Summer Savory by Hawaii Pharm is a single-ingredient liquid that's been used traditionally in cooking. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting it.

Summer Savory by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Summer Savory by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Summer Savory has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Summer Savory 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 summer savory safe to use during pregnancy?
Medicinal amounts haven't been studied enough to say they're safe, so it's best to avoid concentrated supplements like this one while you're pregnant. Food-level amounts of the herb are probably fine. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What is summer savory actually for?
Summer savory is an herb traditionally used in cooking. We don't hold effectiveness data in our records that tells us what health conditions it's studied for, so we can't say whether it works for any particular purpose.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
The safety data for medicinal amounts during breastfeeding isn't on file. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using this product while nursing.
Does this product contain any fillers or other ingredients besides summer savory?
The active ingredient is summer savory leaf extract, and it's carried in alcohol, water, and glycerin to make the liquid form. Those three are there to deliver the herb, not for any active effect.
Is the essential oil form safer than this liquid?
No — the essential oil of summer savory actually carries extra caution and isn't well studied either. This liquid extract is a more dilute form, but medicinal amounts of the herb in any form haven't been thoroughly researched.
