HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsihills by Herbal Hills

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “{Holy Basil} Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Tulsihills contains 2 active ingredients, both forms of holy basil: a standardized leaf extract and a leaf powder. Together they make up the {Holy Basil} Blend in each capsule.

The product also includes inactive ingredients — magnesium stearate, silica, and a gelatin capsule — that help hold it together and deliver it.

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 effectiveness of holy basil for the conditions this product is marketed toward — anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, and diabetes — has not been established in reliable clinical evidence. Our data shows insufficient evidence to rate it for any of these uses, so we can't tell you whether it actually works for them based on the research we hold.

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 the short term, but long-term safety data in people are limited. The most common side effects from oral capsules in a small study were nausea and loose stools (a few people out of 24).

During pregnancy, the safety data advise against it due to animal concerns and lack of human studies. Do not use this product while breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient 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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Holy Basil.
  • 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.

Check with us before taking Tulsihills if you're on a blood thinner or antiplatelet drug (like warfarin or aspirin), a diabetes medication, or pentobarbital or any other sedative. We have no interaction data for the inactive ingredients, so those won't complicate things — it's the holy basil itself you need to verify against your prescriptions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking for a well-researched herbal product, holy basil hasn't been proven for the uses on this label. More importantly, if you take a blood thinner, diabetes medication, or sedative, you need to check with us or your doctor before starting — the interactions are real enough to matter.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether Tulsihills fits your situation.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tulsihills 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?
Tulsihills 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 Tulsihills if I'm pregnant?
No. Animal data raise safety concerns and human safety hasn't been established, so the data advise against it during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about safer options for you.

No. There isn't enough reliable safety information available, so avoid it while breastfeeding. Ask us or your doctor what would be safer for you and your baby.
Does holy basil actually work for anxiety or diabetes?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say. The data we hold show insufficient evidence to rate holy basil for anxiety, diabetes, asthma, headaches, respiratory infections, or dental plaque — so we can't confirm it works for any of those uses.
What side effects might I notice?
In a small study, a few people taking holy basil capsules reported nausea or loose stools. Overall it's well tolerated, but long-term safety data in people are limited, so watch for any unusual changes after starting.
