HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsi Supreme 500 mg by Supreme Nutrition Products

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Tulsi Supreme is a single-ingredient product: 500 mg of holy basil per capsule. Holy basil, also called tulsi, is a plant used traditionally in herbal medicine.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Holy Basil product and its label doesn't state a use — see Holy Basil's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The data we hold rates holy basil's effectiveness as insufficient for the conditions listed — generalized anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, and diabetes. That means the evidence supporting its use for these purposes hasn't yet reached a level we can rely on.

You won't find a definitive yes or no here; more rigorous clinical studies are needed.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Holy basil is generally well tolerated in short-term use in adults, but long-term safety data of high quality are limited. The most common side effects from oral use are loose stools and nausea — in one clinical study, 2 out of 24 people taking holy basil capsules reported these effects.

Because animal data raise concerns, the safety data advise against using holy basil during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 212 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 taking Tulsi Supreme, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk of increased bleeding), diabetes medications (Moderate risk of low blood sugar), or pentobarbital or other sedatives (Moderate risk of increased drowsiness).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Tulsi Supreme may interest people exploring traditional herbal support, but the evidence for effectiveness isn't established yet. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medication, or sedatives like pentobarbital, you'll want to check with your own doctor or pharmacist first — the interaction risk is real, even if it hasn't been proven in humans.

Pregnant or nursing individuals should avoid it.

Tulsi Supreme 500 mg by Supreme Nutrition Products: Common Questions

Does Tulsi Supreme 500 mg by Supreme Nutrition Products interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tulsi Supreme 500 mg has a known interaction with 212 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tulsi Supreme 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 or breastfeeding?
No. Animal data raise safety concerns and human safety isn't established, so the data advise against using holy basil during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're in either situation.
What side effects might I experience?
Loose stools and nausea are the most commonly reported side effects from taking holy basil capsules by mouth. In one clinical study, 2 out of 24 participants experienced these effects. Most people tolerate it well in the short term.
Does this actually work for anxiety, diabetes, or other conditions listed?
The evidence we have is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for any of the conditions listed — anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, or diabetes. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we don't yet have strong enough proof either way.
Why does this interact with so many drugs?
The 212 individual medications affected include multiple drugs in each category — different blood thinners, different diabetes medications, and others. Holy basil may work through several biological pathways, so its effects could touch many different drug classes. That's why checking your specific medications matters.
Is holy basil the same as basil I cook with?
No. Holy basil (tulsi) is a different plant from the culinary basil used in cooking, though they're related. This product contains holy basil extract in a concentrated form.
