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.

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 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Taproot Deep Jing contains six active ingredients. Four of them are plant root or fruit extracts: Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala (Bai-Zhu Atractylodes), goji berry, and glossy privet fruit.

The product also includes cuscuta chinensis (dodder) seed extract and bu gu zhi fruit extract. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promotes foundational health and vital energy restoration.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cognitive function, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Cough, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Quality of life — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Codonopsis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Goji is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Cough, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Quality of life.
  • Also on file: Atractylodes is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea.

The evidence for this product's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. For codonopsis, the ingredients we could check show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for asthma, cancer, respiratory tract infections, indigestion, or high cholesterol.

Similarly, cuscuta chinensis shows insufficient evidence for depression or eczema, atractylodes for poor appetite, cachexia (muscle wasting), lung cancer, common cold, or diarrhea, and goji berry for sunburn, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, or quality of life. Glossy privet has no effectiveness ratings in our data, and we hold no information on bu gu zhi fruit extract's effectiveness.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Codonopsis Dodder Atractylodes Goji Glossy Privet

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The ingredients in this product are generally well tolerated at traditional food-like amounts, but high-quality safety data are limited overall. Codonopsis can cause allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and urticaria (hives)—one case report describes an 18-year-old who developed anaphylaxis after ingesting 20 grams of codonopsis root.

At very large doses (30–60 grams), codonopsis may cause chest pain, irregular heartbeat, throat pain, or loss of voice. Cuscuta (dodder) at high doses may cause intestinal cramping and diarrhea.

Atractylodes most commonly causes allergic reactions, dry mouth, and nausea. Goji berry has rare case reports of autoimmune hepatitis and acute hepatitis, and several cases of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and facial swelling have been reported.

Pregnancy safety data advise against codonopsis, cuscuta, atractylodes, and goji berry; no reliable data exist for glossy privet or bu gu zhi fruit extract in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor. All ingredients should be avoided while breastfeeding except goji berry, for which there is limited safety data and caution is advised.

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?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Codonopsis, Glossy Privet, Goji, Atractylodes.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,106 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 this product, double-check warfarin (Coumadin) and other blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel, diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, and any medications broken down by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 enzymes. Goji berry in particular may raise levels of several drug classes.

If you take lithium, glossy privet may increase its levels. Abiraterone (Zytiga) users should be cautious, as codonopsis may reduce its effectiveness.

Use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact prescriptions.

Goji Berry Fruit Extract8 drug types · 1,000 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Goji can increase the effects of warfarin and possibly increase the risk of bleeding.
There are at least 5 case reports of increased international normalized ratio (INR) in patients stabilized on warfarin who began drinking goji juice, concentrated goji tea, or goji wine. Goji may inhibit the metabolism of warfarin by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9).

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji root bark, but not goji fruit, with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that goji root bark has hypotensive effects. However, goji fruit juice does not appear to reduce systolic or diastolic blood pressure in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C19 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C9 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. Additionally, multiple case reports suggest that goji berry concentrated tea and juice inhibit the metabolism of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C9 substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2D6 and reduce metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2D6 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP3A4 and reduce metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP3A4 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Flecainide (Tambocor)

Theoretically, goji berry might increase the levels and clinical effects of flecainide.
In one case report, a 75-year-old patient stable on flecainide and warfarin presented to the emergency room with fainting and pleomorphic arrhythmia caused by flecainide toxicity. Flecainide toxicity was attributed to drinking 1-2 glasses of concentrated goji tea daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, goji may have inhibited the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolism of flecainide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji fruit polysaccharides or goji root bark with antidiabetes drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research show that goji root bark and fruit polysaccharides might have hypoglycemic effects. However, clinical research has only shown that taking goji fruit polysaccharides with or without antidiabetes drugs modestly reduces postprandial glucose when compared with control, with no reports of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Goji Berry Fruit Extract full monograph & interactions

Bai-Zhu Atractylodes (Atractylodes macrocephala) root extract5 drug types · 801 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylenolides II and III, constituents of atractylodes, reduce platelet activation. So far, this has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aromatase Inhibitors

Theoretically, atractylodes may have an additive effect when used with other aromatase inhibitors.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylodes and its constituents exhibit aromatase inhibitor effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hexobarbital

Theoretically, taking atractylodes may prolong the therapeutic and adverse effects of hexobarbital.
In animals, atractylodes has been shown to prolong the effects of hexobarbital. These effects have not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, atractylodes might decrease the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to induce CYP1A2 activity. This effect has not been shown in humans.

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

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to inhibit CYP3A1 activity, which is a homolog to the human CYP3A4 enzyme. This effect has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Bai-Zhu Atractylodes (Atractylodes macrocephala) root extract full monograph & interactions

Codonopsis pilosula Root Extract3 drug types · 211 drugs

Abiraterone (Zytiga)

Theoretically, taking codonopsis root with abiraterone might reduce the levels and therapeutic effects of abiraterone.
Animal research in rats shows that intragastric administration of codonopsis root along with abiraterone every 2 days for 2 weeks seems to increase the clearance of abiraterone and reduce the overall exposure and time to maximum concentration. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, codonopsis liquor might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
A small clinical study in adults with coronary heart disease shows that consuming Codonopsis pilosula liquor for 4 weeks inhibits platelet aggregation but does not affect tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI).

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, codonopsis might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory and animal research suggest that codonopsis has antidiabetic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Glossy Privet Fruit Extract1 drug type · 1 drug

Lithium

Glossy privet is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, glossy privet might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Taproot Deep Jing by Raw Forest Foods: Common Questions

Does Taproot Deep Jing by Raw Forest Foods interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Taproot Deep Jing has a known interaction with 1,105 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Taproot Deep Jing contains 6 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 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against codonopsis, cuscuta, atractylodes, and goji berry during pregnancy. For glossy privet and bu gu zhi fruit extract, we don't hold reliable safety information, so talk with your doctor before use. While breastfeeding, you should avoid all the ingredients in this product except goji berry, for which limited data exist—again, check with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
What does codonopsis do?
In traditional use, codonopsis root has been used for respiratory health and general wellness, but we don't have reliable evidence in our data to confirm whether it works for these or other conditions. It may affect how your blood clots and your blood sugar, so it's important to check it with your medications.
Is goji berry really a problem with warfarin?
Yes. There are at least five documented cases of people stable on warfarin who drank concentrated goji juice or tea and developed increased bleeding risk. Goji slows your liver's ability to break down warfarin, so it builds up and becomes stronger. If you take warfarin, do not use this product without talking to your doctor first.
Can this cause an allergic reaction?
Yes. Codonopsis can trigger allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and hives—one person developed anaphylaxis after taking 20 grams. Goji berry and atractylodes have also been reported to cause allergic reactions, some serious. If you have known allergies to herbs or pollen, talk with your pharmacist before trying this product.
What are the side effects at normal doses?
At traditional food-like amounts, these ingredients are generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported side effects from atractylodes are dry mouth and nausea. Cuscuta at high doses may cause stomach cramping and diarrhea. We don't have detailed side-effect data for all ingredients at typical doses, so watch for any new symptoms and contact your pharmacist if they concern you.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
No—our data show no inactive fillers, binders, or capsule materials listed for this product.
