HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweet Violet Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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

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 contains one active ingredient: sweet violet leaf extract. It comes as a liquid in a glycerin and water base.

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 Sweet Violet product and its label doesn't state a use — see Sweet Violet'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 sweet violet isn't established in the data we hold. The ingredient has been studied for allergic rhinitis, asthma, benign prostatic hyperplasia, depression, dry eye, and insomnia — but for all of those uses, the research shows insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works.

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.

Sweet violet is generally regarded as gentle in small culinary or tea amounts, but human safety data are limited. The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, since there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Sweet violet has no documented interactions, which is a plus if you take other medications. The big catch is that evidence for whether it actually works isn't established, and safety data are sparse outside of small culinary amounts.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it. Talk with your pharmacist about whether this is right for you.

Sweet Violet Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Sweet Violet Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Sweet Violet Alcohol Free. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sweet Violet Alcohol Free 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.
Can I take Sweet Violet Alcohol Free if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against it — there's not enough information to know it's safe during pregnancy. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking it.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
No, you should avoid it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding.
Does sweet violet actually work for hay fever or asthma?
The research we have doesn't show reliable evidence either way. Both uses are rated as having insufficient evidence.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
No adverse effects are listed in the data we hold. That said, human safety data are limited — stick to small amounts as you would with culinary use.
Why is this alcohol-free?
The product facts don't explain the choice, but some people prefer alcohol-free extracts for personal, medical, or religious reasons. This one uses glycerin and water as the base instead.
