HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsi Raspberry Peach 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 6 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.

This tea blend contains six ingredients, two of which are blends themselves. The active components come from two varieties of tulsi (Krishna Tulsi and Rama Tulsi, also called holy basil), plus black currant.

Organic hibiscus, Vana Tulsi, and organic elderberries round out the formula. The flavor comes from organic raspberry and peach.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade against clinical evidence.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“antioxidant support and wellness”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for holy basil is not established in the data we hold. It's been studied for generalized anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, and diabetes, but all those uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

Black currant has been studied for Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, upper respiratory infections, cough, and eczema, and those too lack sufficient evidence. In short, we don't have reliable data showing this blend works for any particular condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Holy Basil Black Currant

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

Holy basil is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are loose stools and nausea—a small number of trial participants reported these.

Black currant berries are safe as food, but concentrated supplements in this tea are less studied. A very small number of people taking black currant seed oil reported mild diarrhea 2 to 10 days after starting.

Avoid this product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding: animal data raise concerns for holy basil, and human safety is not established for either holy basil or black currant in these situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Holy Basil Black Currant

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Black Currant, Holy Basil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 230 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.

Double-check your medications if you take blood thinners (anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs)—holy basil and black currant may increase bleeding risk. If you're on diabetes medications, watch for low blood sugar symptoms.

Pentobarbital users and anyone taking phenothiazines should discuss this product with their pharmacist or doctor first.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This tea is aimed at relaxation and wellness, but the evidence doesn't yet show it works for any specific condition. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, pentobarbital, or phenothiazines, check your exact medications with us before starting—these interactions are real concerns.

Holy basil isn't recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist about whether this blend fits your routine.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

organic Black Currant2 drug types · 140 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding if used in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a constituent of black currant seed oil, appears to have antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenothiazines

Theoretically, black currant seed oil might increase the risk of seizure in patients receiving phenothiazines.
Black currant seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). There is some concern that taking supplements containing GLA might cause seizures, or lower the seizure threshold, when taken with phenothiazines, although there is no evidence that black currant seed oil causes seizures. In one report, three patients with schizophrenia who had received phenothiazines developed EEG changes suggestive of temporal lobe epilepsy after starting treatment with GLA, although none experienced an actual seizure. In another report, two patients with schizophrenia who were stabilized on phenothiazines developed seizures when evening primrose 4 grams daily, which contains GLA, was added. One of these patients had a prior history of seizures.

Tulsi Raspberry Peach by Organic India: Common Questions

Does Tulsi Raspberry Peach by Organic India interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tulsi Raspberry Peach has a known interaction with 230 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tulsi Raspberry Peach contains 4 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 drink this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, not recommended. The holy basil in this blend has animal data raising safety concerns in pregnancy, and human safety hasn't been established. During breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the side effects?
Loose stools and nausea are the most common reported effects from holy basil. Black currant may cause mild diarrhea, usually within the first 2 to 10 days. Most people tolerate it well, especially short-term.
Does this actually help with anxiety or any health condition?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. Holy basil and black currant have been studied for anxiety, asthma, cough, and other conditions, but the evidence isn't strong enough to confirm they work. This blend is more of a wellness tea without proven therapeutic effects.
I take a blood thinner—is this safe?
That's a real concern. Both holy basil and black currant may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners. Check your exact medication with your pharmacist or doctor before you drink this.
What's actually in this tea?
Two types of holy basil (Krishna and Rama), black currant, hibiscus, Vana Tulsi, and elderberries, flavored with organic raspberry and peach. The active ingredients are the holy basil and black currant; the others are supporting herbs and flavorings.
