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.

Tan Xiang contains one active ingredient: Santalum album Heartwood Extract, Dry — the dried extract of white sandalwood heartwood. The liquid formulation also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive carriers.

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 White Sandalwood product and its label doesn't state a use — see White Sandalwood'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 isn't established in the data we hold. White sandalwood has been evaluated for bronchitis, angina, anxiety, headache, and common cold, but all those uses carry insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

We simply don't have enough data to say whether this product works for any of those purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient White Sandalwood

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.

White sandalwood is generally well tolerated when taken in food amounts, but oral use in medicinal doses isn't well studied and may not be safe. The most common side effects reported orally are itching and nausea.

The safety data advises against medicinal use during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this.

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — White Sandalwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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.

If you take lithium, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting Tan Xiang. White sandalwood may reduce how your body clears lithium and raise its levels in your blood.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tan Xiang is a single-ingredient sandalwood extract with limited evidence for any medicinal purpose. If you take lithium, this product requires a conversation with your pharmacist or doctor first — the interaction is moderate and may need a dose adjustment.

For everyone else, the main caution is that oral medicinal use hasn't been thoroughly studied.
