HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweetfruit Drops Dang Gui Oil 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Formula” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2.25 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains two active ingredients in a proprietary extract formula. The first is monk fruit extract, and the second is dang gui (also called dong quai) essential oil extract — a traditional plant used in herbal medicine.

The formula is suspended in water and vegetable glycerin as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Dong Quai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: blood tonic and women's menstrual health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Menopausal symptoms, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual regulation, postmenopausal health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Dong Quai is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Menopausal symptoms (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Dong Quai is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Dysmenorrhea.

The facts we hold don't establish reliable evidence that dang gui works for the conditions listed — iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, migraine headache, and eczema all carry insufficient evidence ratings. That means the science isn't there yet to say whether it's effective for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dong Quai

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 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.

When taken by mouth, dang gui is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects are burping and flatulence. One important caution: it may increase your bleeding risk and can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so use it with care if you're in the sun.

Dang gui may stimulate the uterus and affect bleeding — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dong Quai

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Dong Quai.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 163 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants) — dang gui may significantly increase bleeding risk (Major interaction with warfarin). Also flag it if you're on any antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, or if you're taking estrogens or hormone replacement therapy — dang gui may interfere with both.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is mainly a concern if you take blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, or other antiplatelet drugs, or if you're on hormone replacement therapy — in those cases, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Dang gui isn't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If none of those apply to you, discuss whether this product fits your health picture with your own healthcare provider before starting.

Dang Gui Essential Oil Extract3 drug types · 163 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with warfarin.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of dong quai with warfarin can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case, after 4 weeks of taking dong quai 565 mg once or twice daily, the international normalized ratio (INR) increased to 4.9. The INR normalized 4 weeks after discontinuation of dong quai.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal studies suggest that dong quai has antithrombin activity and inhibits platelet aggregation due to its coumarin components. Additionally, some case reports in humans suggest that dong quai can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. However, clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking 1 gram of dong quai root daily for 3 weeks does not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation or cause bleeding. Until more is known, use dong quai with caution in patients taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, dong quai may reduce the effects of estrogens.
Dong quai has estrogenic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of dong quai might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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.

Why can't you check monk fruit extract for interactions?
We hold no interaction data for monk fruit extract — it wasn't checked. That doesn't mean it's safe or unsafe with your medications; it just means we don't have that information on file.
