HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweet Memory by Banyan Botanicals

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Sweet Memory contains three active ingredients. Long pepper is included for its traditional use, though the evidence for its effectiveness in treating bronchitis, asthma, cancer, heart disease, and liver disease is not yet established in our data.

Spanish pellitory and eclipta round out the formula. The product also contains water and cane alcohol as inactive ingredients.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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 long pepper in treating bronchitis, asthma, cancer, heart disease, and liver disease is currently insufficient to rate. We hold no effectiveness data for Spanish pellitory or eclipta.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, it's worth asking what clinical evidence supports its use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Indian Long Pepper Pellitory-of-the-wall

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Long pepper in supplement doses hasn't been well studied for safety, though it's commonly used as a food spice. A compound in it, piperine, can affect how your body absorbs other substances.

Spanish pellitory has limited safety data and may trigger allergies in sensitive people; no adverse effects from it have been reported, but thorough safety testing hasn't been done. Pellitory pollen is known to cause seasonal allergies in some people.

You should avoid this product during pregnancy—long pepper is traditionally discouraged at medicinal doses, and Spanish pellitory lacks enough safety data. The same goes for breastfeeding: there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe, so it's best to skip it.

We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding data for eclipta.

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 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Indian Long Pepper.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 897 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 Sweet Memory, check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, theophylline, pentobarbital or other sedatives, cyclosporine, or any medication metabolized by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme. Long pepper may raise levels of these drugs and intensify their effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a traditional herbal blend, but long pepper's interaction profile is broad enough that you'll want to check your exact medications before starting. If you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or anything broken down by your liver, talk to your pharmacist first.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? This one's not for you.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase the effects and adverse effects of cyclosporine.
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of Indian long pepper, increases the bioavailability of cyclosporine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase the effects and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of Indian long pepper, inhibits CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nevirapine (Viramune)

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase blood levels of nevirapine.
A small pharmacokinetic study shows that piperine, a constituent of Indian long pepper, increases the plasma concentration and systemic exposure of nevirapine. However, no adverse effects were associated with the elevated plasma levels of nevirapine.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that piperine, a constituent of Indian long pepper, can inhibit P-glycoprotein.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox)

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase the effects and adverse effects of amoxicillin.
Evidence from animal research shows that piperine, a constituent of Indian long pepper, increases the plasma levels of amoxicillin when taken concomitantly.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase blood levels of carbamazepine.
A small pharmacokinetic study in patients taking carbamazepine 300 mg or 500 mg twice daily shows that a single 20 mg dose of purified piperine, which is a constituent of Indian long pepper, increases carbamazepine levels. Piperine may increase absorption by increasing blood flow to the GI tract, increasing the surface area of the small intestine, or by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibition in the gut wall. Absorption was significantly increased by 7-10 mcg/mL/hour. The time to eliminate carbamazepine was also increased by 4-8 hours. Although carbamazepine levels were increased, this did not appear to increase side effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cefotaxime (Claforan)

Theoretically, Indian long pepper might increase the effects and adverse effects of cefotaxime.
Animal research shows that piperine, a constituent of Indian long pepper, increases the plasma levels of cefotaxime when taken concomitantly.

Sweet Memory by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Sweet Memory by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sweet Memory has a known interaction with 896 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sweet Memory contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Long pepper is traditionally discouraged at medicinal doses during pregnancy, and Spanish pellitory doesn't have enough safety data, so you should avoid it. The same applies to breastfeeding—safety information is lacking for both ingredients.
Is Spanish pellitory safe for people with allergies?
Pellitory has a high potential to trigger allergies, and its pollen is known to cause seasonal allergies in some people. If you're allergy-prone, this ingredient may not be a good fit for you.
Does long pepper actually work for asthma or bronchitis?
The evidence isn't established in our data. You'd want to talk with your doctor about whether there's a clinical reason to try it.
What does long pepper do in this formula?
Long pepper is a traditional ingredient included for its historical use, but strong safety data on supplement doses is lacking. A compound in it, piperine, can affect how your body absorbs other substances—which is why interactions with medications are a concern.
