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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Organic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.90 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 5 ingredients: holy basil (listed as both Holy Basil and East Indian Basil), hibiscus, elderberries, and black currant, plus organic raspberry and peach flavoring. Holy basil and black currant are the active herbal components; hibiscus and elderberries are also included but we couldn't assess their interaction data.

The raspberry and peach flavors are inactive ingredients for taste.

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 system support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Common cold, Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Respiratory tract infections, Influenza — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Black Currant is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Black Currant is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Influenza, Common cold.
  • Also on file: Holy Basil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Respiratory tract infections, Stress.

The evidence isn't established in our data for any of the conditions these herbs are traditionally used for. Holy basil's effectiveness is rated as insufficient evidence for generalized anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, and diabetes.

Black currant is similarly unrated for Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, upper respiratory infections, cough, and eczema. This doesn't mean the product doesn't work — it means large, rigorous studies backing up these uses aren't in our database.

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 in adults, but long-term safety data from high-quality studies are limited. A small number of trial participants reported nausea or loose stools when taking holy basil extracts.

Black currant berries as food are safe, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied — use caution and check with your doctor first. Because animal data raise concerns and human safety isn't established, avoid this product during pregnancy.

There isn't enough reliable safety information to use it while breastfeeding, so skip it if you're nursing.

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.

Before you take this, double-check if you're on anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin) — both holy basil and black currant may increase bleeding risk. Also flag antidiabetes medications, where holy basil may lower blood sugar further, phenothiazine antipsychotics (where black currant may affect seizure risk), and pentobarbital or other sedatives.

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.

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 take this if I'm pregnant?
No. Animal data raise concerns and human safety isn't established, so the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about safer options.
Can I drink this while breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough reliable safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Check with your pharmacist or doctor about what's okay instead.

Holy basil, one of the main ingredients, most commonly causes loose stools and nausea in a small number of people who try it. The berry itself is safe as food, but concentrated supplements are less studied.
Does this actually work for anxiety or colds?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Holy basil is used traditionally for anxiety and respiratory health, and black currant for upper respiratory infections, but we don't have strong clinical evidence to rate these uses.
What's in this blend besides the herbs?
It's 5 active herbal ingredients — holy basil, hibiscus, elderberries, and black currant — plus organic raspberry and peach flavoring for taste. No fillers or unnecessary additives.
Is this safe to drink long-term?
Holy basil, a main ingredient, is well tolerated in the short term, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. Talk to your pharmacist if you're planning to drink this regularly for weeks or months.
