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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
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.

For each ingredient in Sweetfruit Drops Dang Gui Oil 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.
Dang Gui Essential Oil Extract
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.
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.
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.
