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 4 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 Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This tea contains 4 active ingredients: hibiscus, elderberry, holy basil (tulsi), and the herbs in the proprietary blend. Elderberry and holy basil are the ones with documented effects and interactions; they're the main players here.

The product also lists two inactive flavor ingredients—raspberry and peach—to round out the 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), Psychological well-being, Lower respiratory tract infections, Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Respiratory tract infections — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Elderberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Elderberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Psychological well-being, Lower respiratory tract infections.
  • Also on file: Holy Basil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Respiratory tract infections, Stress.

The evidence for what this tea actually does is thin. Elderberry has insufficient reliable evidence for allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, COPD, cognitive function, and respiratory infections.

Holy basil (tulsi) similarly lacks strong evidence for generalized anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, and diabetes. So while both herbs are traditional remedies, we don't have solid clinical data backing their use for these conditions in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elderberry Holy Basil

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.

Elderberry from properly cooked fruit is generally well tolerated. Raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, and bark contain compounds that cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and dizziness—but cooking eliminates the toxin.

A small number of people have reported nausea and vomiting with elderberry products. One case report noted autoimmune hepatitis in a patient taking elderberry for years; they recovered after stopping it and starting treatment.

Holy basil is generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety data are limited. A small number of trial participants experienced nausea or loose stools.

During pregnancy, animal data raise concerns and human safety isn't established, so it's best avoided. The same goes for breastfeeding—there isn't enough reliable information.

Elderberry should also be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elderberry Holy Basil

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 — Elderberry, Holy Basil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 331 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.

Check before you start if you take immunosuppressant drugs, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or warfarin), diabetes medications, the cancer drug pazopanib, or barbiturates like pentobarbital. All of these have Moderate-severity interactions documented with elderberry or holy basil in this blend.

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.

If you take immunosuppressants, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or barbiturates, talk to your pharmacist before drinking this tea. Pregnant or breastfeeding people should skip it.

For everyone else, a cup now and then is unlikely to cause trouble, but the evidence that it does anything for your health isn't there yet.

Organic Tulsi 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

Elderberry2 drug types · 121 drugs

Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, elderberry might interfere with immunosuppressant therapy due to its immunostimulant activity.
Elderberry has immunostimulant activity, increasing the production of cytokines, including interleukin and tumor necrosis factor.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Pazopanib (Votrient)

Theoretically, elderberry might interact with pazopanib, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects.
In one case, a 65-year-old patient taking pazopanib for 4 weeks for soft-tissue sarcoma developed severe nausea, loose stools, and elevated alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels and was diagnosed with grade 3 liver injury. The patient reported taking elderberry supplements for 2 years, dose unspecified, and was also taking a multivitamin and a calcium supplement. The patient's symptoms and liver enzyme levels improved upon discontinuation of pazopanib and all supplements. Pazopanib treatment was re-initiated, at a lower dose, with no further evidence of liver injury. It was unclear in this case report if the elderberry supplements were derived from the berry, the flower, or the combination.

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 331 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 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 drink this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against it. Elderberry lacks enough reliable information, and holy basil raises animal concerns with insufficient human data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this tea is right for you during pregnancy.
Can I drink this while breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough reliable safety information for either elderberry or holy basil while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it.
What are the side effects?
Holy basil is generally well tolerated, with a small number of trial participants reporting nausea or loose stools. Elderberry is generally well tolerated when properly prepared, but raw or unripe berries can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you're drinking the tea as intended, you're getting cooked fruit, so that risk is low.
Does this actually help with colds or the flu?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Elderberry has insufficient reliable evidence for respiratory tract infections, and the same goes for holy basil. So while people use it traditionally, we don't have solid proof it works.
Is this safe to drink every day?
Holy basil is generally well tolerated short-term, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. If you're thinking of drinking this daily, it's worth a conversation with your pharmacist about your individual situation.
