HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Uterus Support by Hawaii Pharm

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (983 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid contains three active ingredients. Bromelain is an enzyme extracted from pineapple that's traditionally used to support inflammation and wound healing.

Cat's claw inner bark extract comes from a vine used in traditional medicine for immune support. Vitex berry extract is included for its traditional role in hormonal balance.

The product also contains ethyl alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver and preserve the formula.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: uterus support.
  • We looked for evidence on: uterine health, reproductive health, menstrual support, pelvic health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. Bromelain has been studied for hay fever, burns, cancer, nerve pain from chemotherapy, chronic circulation problems, and diabetes — but the data we hold rates all of these as insufficient evidence to say whether it works.

Cat's claw shows the same picture: there's insufficient evidence for hay fever, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, and chronic fatigue syndrome. We hold no effectiveness data for vitex berry extract.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bromelain Cat's Claw

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.

Bromelain is generally well tolerated short-term when taken by mouth, though long-term safety hasn't been well studied. Common side effects are diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, and headache.

Some people have had allergic reactions, especially when inhaling bromelain dust. Cat's claw is also generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety is unclear.

Case reports link it to kidney injury and blood cell changes (anemia, low white blood cells, low platelets), though it's hard to separate the supplement's effects from underlying disease in those patients. The safety notes advise against bromelain during pregnancy — there isn't enough data — and against it while breastfeeding.

Cat's claw should be avoided in pregnancy because of historical use as an abortifacient and lack of safety data, and avoided while breastfeeding due to insufficient information. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for vitex berry extract.

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 — Cat's Claw, Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 981 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 this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, apixaban, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — both bromelain and cat's claw increase bleeding risk. Blood pressure medications, calcium channel blockers, immunosuppressants, tetracycline antibiotics, and Paxlovid also warrant a review because of cat's claw.

Cat's claw may also alter how your body processes many other drugs your liver clears, so bring your full medication list.

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.

This product may help with uterine health, but the evidence for its ingredients is thin. If you take blood thinners, blood pressure medication, immune-suppressing drugs, or Paxlovid, check with your pharmacist first — cat's claw especially could be a problem.

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should talk to their doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Cat's Claw Inner Bark Extract, Dry6 drug types · 962 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cat's claw may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can inhibit platelet aggregation. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking cat's claw with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. In vitro and animal research suggests that rhynchophylline can lower blood pressure. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, taking cat's claw with calcium channel blockers might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains various alkaloids, including rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, and isocorynoxiene. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can lower blood pressure by acting as calcium channel blockers. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, cat's claw might increase or decrease the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Cat's claw may affect the clearance of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro research shows that cat's claw can inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. In one case report, a patient taking cat's claw (at an unspecified dose) experienced increased serum levels of atazanavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir, all of which are CYP3A4 substrates. Levels returned to normal 15 days after discontinuation of the cat's claw supplement, suggesting inhibition of CYP3A4 by cat's claw. In contrast, animal research suggests that rhynchophylline, an alkaloid contained in cat's claw, induces CYP3A expression and accelerates the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, cat's claw might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In human and laboratory research, cat's claw has been shown to have immunostimulating activity. It stimulates phagocytosis and increases respiratory cellular activity and the mobility of leukocytes. Theoretically, this could interfere with the activity of immunosuppressant medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid)

Theoretically, cat's claw may decrease the levels of nirmatrelvir.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that this alkaloid induces CYP3A expression, thereby accelerating the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cat's Claw Inner Bark Extract, Dry full monograph & interactions

Bromelain, Powder2 drug types · 141 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Bromelain may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
There is one case report of a patient experiencing minor bruising while taking bromelain with naproxen. Bromelain is thought to have antiplatelet activity. Whether this interaction is of concern with topical bromelain is unclear. Interference with coagulation of burn wounds has been reported in a patient receiving bromelain-based enzymatic debridement. However, observational research has found that topical bromelain debridement is not associated with increases or decreases in laboratory markers of coagulation when compared with surgical debridement.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, bromelain might increase levels of tetracycline antibiotics.
Laboratory research suggests that bromelain might increase the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. However, a study in healthy adults reported no difference in tetracycline plasma levels when a 500 mg dose was taken with or without bromelain 80 mg.

Uterus Support by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Uterus Support by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Uterus Support has a known interaction with 980 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Uterus Support 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 take this if I'm on a blood thinner?
No — both bromelain and cat's claw in this product interact with blood thinners and may increase your bleeding risk. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
What are the most common side effects of this product?
From bromelain, the main ones are diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, and headache when taken by mouth. Cat's claw can cause similar stomach issues. Some people have had allergic reactions, especially if sensitive to pineapple.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Bromelain lacks enough safety data in pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding. Cat's claw has a history of use as an abortifacient and should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation. Talk to your doctor.
What is cat's claw, and why is it in this product?
Cat's claw is an extract from a tropical vine traditionally used to support immune function and overall wellness. It's included here as part of the uterine support formula.
Can this interact with high blood pressure medication?
Yes — cat's claw may lower blood pressure further, raising the risk of hypotension (too-low blood pressure). Check with your pharmacist before adding this if you're on any blood pressure drugs.
