HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsi Moringa by Organic India

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Organic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “organic Tulsi (Holy Basil) Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Tulsi Moringa is a tea made with 4 active ingredients: organic moringa, holy basil (also called tulsi and East Indian basil), lemongrass, and a proprietary organic blend. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Each of these has a long history in traditional use, but modern evidence for what they actually do is still limited.

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: stress relief and immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), immune function, wellness.
  • The closest evidence on file: Holy Basil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Holy Basil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Stress.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that moringa works for iron-deficiency anemia, asthma, athletic performance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, or high cholesterol — the data is insufficient. Holy basil similarly shows insufficient evidence for generalized anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, or diabetes.

Lemongrass also lacks sufficient evidence for headache, common cold, cough, diabetes, epilepsy, or fatigue. In short, none of these ingredients have a rating we can point to as proven effective for any condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Moringa Holy Basil Lemongrass

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 2 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Moringa leaf products appear generally well tolerated when used as a food, though high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effect is transient diarrhea — in one trial, about one in four people taking 8 grams daily experienced it.

Rare allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported, and a handful of cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a serious skin condition) have been linked to moringa leaves. Avoid medicinal amounts of moringa root and bark, as they may stimulate the uterus and safety data are lacking.

Holy basil is generally well tolerated short-term, with loose stools and nausea reported by a small number of trial participants. The safety data advise against holy basil during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Lemongrass is likely safe in food amounts, but concentrated extracts and essential oil have limited safety data, so avoid medicinal amounts.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lemongrass, Holy Basil, Moringa.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 964 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 you take this product, double-check medications in these categories: CYP3A4 substrates (a huge class including many cholesterol, blood pressure, and immunosuppressant drugs), blood thinners (anticoagulants like warfarin, or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, glucuronidated drugs, levothyroxine (thyroid hormone), and sedatives like pentobarbital. No interactions are documented for the individual medications we could not check, but that doesn't mean none exist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a tea blend of four herbs with a long traditional history but insufficient evidence for any modern health claim. If you're on any prescription medications — especially blood thinners, diabetes drugs, thyroid hormone, sedatives, or anything metabolized by your liver — talk to your pharmacist before starting it.

It's generally well tolerated as a food, but it's not a treatment.

organic Moringa6 drug types · 869 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, moringa might increase or decrease levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Some in vitro research suggests that moringa inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). However, other in vitro research suggests that moringa extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes. A pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine, which is partially metabolized by CYP3A4, when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, moringa leaf can antagonize the effects of levothyroxine.
Animal research suggests that moringa aqueous leaf extract might reduce serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations by inhibiting the peripheral conversion of thyroxine (T4) to T3.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, moringa leaf extract might increase the levels and clinical effects of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa leaf extract inhibits renal P-glycoprotein transport activity. So far, this reaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, moringa might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal research shows that moringa can lower blood glucose levels. However, research in humans has not shown consistent blood glucose lowering effects.

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

Theoretically, moringa might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nevirapine (Viramune)

Moringa leaf is unlikely to have a clinically significant interaction with nevirapine.
Nevirapine is partially metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In vitro evidence suggests that moringa inhibits CYP3A4. However, a pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in nevirapine pharmacokinetics when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B

organic Lemongrass3 drug types · 708 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, lemongrass might decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
Animal research shows that lemongrass and its constituent citral inhibit CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, lemongrass might increase the clearance and decrease the levels of glucuronidated drugs.
Animal research shows that lemongrass and its constituent citral induce uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase (UGT), the major phase 2 enzyme that is responsible for glucuronidation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, lemongrass might increase the effects and adverse effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research shows that high doses of lemongrass essential oil increases sleep time and decreases time to fall asleep in animals administered pentobarbital.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

organic Tulsi (Holy Basil) Blend3 drug types · 212 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, holy basil seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research shows that holy basil seed oil can prolong bleeding time, possibly due to inhibition of platelet aggregation. However, it is not known if this occurs in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, holy basil might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Small clinical studies show that taking holy basil can decrease fasting blood glucose and other measures of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, holy basil seed oil might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research shows that holy basil seed oil increases pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time. However, it is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.

Tulsi Moringa by Organic India: Common Questions

Does Tulsi Moringa by Organic India interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tulsi Moringa has a known interaction with 963 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tulsi Moringa contains 3 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against holy basil during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Moringa leaf is traditionally used to boost milk, but safety hasn't been well studied — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you. Avoid medicinal amounts of moringa root and bark during pregnancy due to concerns about uterine stimulation.
What are the most common side effects?
Diarrhea is the main one you might see from moringa — in one trial, about a quarter of people taking 8 grams daily had it, though it was temporary. Holy basil may cause loose stools or nausea in some people. These are generally mild.
Is this proven to help with diabetes or blood sugar?
No. Animal research suggests moringa and holy basil can lower blood sugar, but human evidence is inconsistent for moringa and insufficient for both. There's not enough reliable evidence to rate either for diabetes.
What is tulsi, and how is it different from holy basil?
Tulsi and holy basil are the same plant — tulsi is another name for it. In this blend, holy basil and East Indian basil are both tulsi; you're getting it twice under different names.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Holy basil and lemongrass are generally well tolerated short-term in adults, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. Moringa leaf appears well tolerated as a food, but thorough long-term safety studies haven't been done. Talk with your pharmacist if you plan to use it regularly.
Can this interact with my medications?
Yes — all three active herbs (moringa, holy basil, and lemongrass) interact with several major medication classes, especially liver-metabolized drugs, blood thinners, diabetes medications, and sedatives. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications before you start.
