What is this page for?

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tu Si Zi 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Tu Si Zi contains one active ingredient: Cuscuta chinensis Seed Extract, Dry — commonly known as dodder. This is a liquid supplement, and it also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for dodder isn't established in the data we hold. Both depression and atopic dermatitis (eczema) — the two conditions listed for this product — carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
That means studies haven't yet built a clear picture of whether it works for these uses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether dodder makes sense for what you're trying to address.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dodder is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. High doses may bring on intestinal cramping (colic) and diarrhea.
A small number of people taking a combination product containing dodder seed extract reported loss of appetite, mild indigestion, and a feeling of stomach heaviness — though it's unclear whether dodder was the cause. The safety data are limited, so use it cautiously and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Dodder is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the dodder ingredient in this product. That's not a guarantee none exist, so run your medications through the tool below and check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding Tu Si Zi to what you're taking.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Tu Si Zi may appeal to someone exploring traditional remedies for mood or skin concerns, but the evidence for either use isn't established yet. Because human safety data are thin, this is one to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications or supplements.
