What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Tu Si Zi against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
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 Herbal Terra
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
This product contains one active ingredient: Cuscuta chinensis seed extract (dodder). The liquid also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for dodder's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. For both depression and atopic dermatitis (eczema), the research rating is insufficient — meaning there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't work for these purposes.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dodder is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. At high doses, it may cause intestinal cramping and diarrhea.
Limited human safety data exist, so use it cautiously and under guidance from a healthcare professional. During pregnancy, the safety data advise against it.
While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best avoided.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That doesn't mean interactions don't exist — dodder hasn't been widely studied with medications.
Run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page to be sure.
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 is a single-ingredient dodder extract with no documented medication interactions — but evidence for its effectiveness isn't yet established. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it.
Talk with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you have a history of digestive sensitivity.
