HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Pill No.3 by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs
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
Low disclosure
Super Pill No.3 contains seven active ingredients. Saffron is the one we have full data on — it's a spice used traditionally in herbal medicine and has been studied for conditions like nerve pain and memory support.
The other six ingredients are plant extracts: fermented Korean ginseng, ginsenoside Rg3, Chinese red salvia, tanshinone IIA, carthamus flower, and ligusticum root. We hold no monograph data on those five, so their roles in this blend and their effects aren't detailed in our files.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — pullulan polysaccharide, rice powder, bamboo extract, and calcium stearate — which are fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Not established
Saffron in this product is rated possibly effective for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain from cancer treatment) and Alzheimer disease, based on clinical evidence. We don't have effectiveness ratings for the other six active ingredients, so we can't speak to what they may or may not do.
If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, ask your pharmacist or doctor whether the evidence supports its use for that purpose.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Saffron extract is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though some people report gastrointestinal complaints, nausea, vomiting, and sedation. Rarely, anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) can occur, and allergic reactions including occupational asthma have been reported from saffron exposure.
At higher doses, saffron has been associated with anxiety and mood changes in a small number of trial participants, though the link isn't certain. The safety data notes that saffron in supplement doses should be used with care — food amounts are likely safe, but high doses can be toxic.
Because there isn't enough reliable safety information on the other five ingredients we could not check, talk with your pharmacist about your individual situation before starting.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check with your pharmacist if you take CNS depressants (sleeping pills, sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs), blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or caffeine supplements. Saffron can add to the effects of these drugs and change how they work in your body.
We couldn't check the other five active ingredients, so mention them to your pharmacist too.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Super Pill No.3 is built around saffron, which has shown promise for nerve pain and memory but carries moderate interactions with sedatives, blood pressure drugs, and diabetes medications. Most of the other ingredients in this blend have no interaction data on file with us.
If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medications, check them against this product first — and talk with your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Super Pill No.3 by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Super Pill No.3 by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs contains saffron, which has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs) — saffron can add to their drowsy effects. Clinical research shows saffron extract can cause drowsiness on its own, and animal studies suggest it deepens sedation when combined with these drugs.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Saffron also interacts with blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs) and diabetes medications, both at Moderate severity. It can lower blood pressure further and may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when taken with diabetes drugs — though the evidence is mixed depending on the form used.
Additionally, saffron may slow how your body clears caffeine, potentially raising caffeine levels in your system.
The product contains six other active ingredients — Korean ginseng root extract, ginsenoside Rg3 extract, Chinese red salvia root extract, tanshinone IIA extract, carthamus flower extract, and ligusticum root extract — that we could not check for interactions because we hold no data on them. Altogether, these interactions span 518 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Super Pill No.3 with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Saffron
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of saffron with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some clinical research shows that taking saffron extract reduces fasting levels of glucose when used in addition to hypoglycemic agents. However, saffron powder itself has not been shown to reduce fasting glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of saffron with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and human research suggests that saffron extract can decrease blood pressure.
Caffeine
Theoretically, saffron might inhibit the metabolism of caffeine.
A small clinical study suggests that taking saffron powder 300 mg in 150 mL water daily for 5 days and then taking caffeine 200 mg seems to reduce caffeine metabolite levels in the saliva and urine in males, but not females. Theoretically, this may be due to the inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A2 by saffron.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of saffron and CNS depressants might have additive sedative effects.
Clinical research shows that taking saffron extract 60 mg orally daily for 26 weeks can cause drowsiness and sedation. Animal research suggests that adding saffron to hexobarbital further increases sleeping and slows motor activity.
