HelloPharmacist Scorecard of White Peony 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition

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.

This product contains a single active ingredient: White Peony root at 1,000 mg per capsule. The capsules also contain three inactive ingredients — cellulose, glycerin, and water — which serve as the capsule material and filler.

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 Peony product and its label doesn't state a use — see Peony'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 evidence for White Peony's effectiveness is not established for the uses we have data on. Our records show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for aging skin, anal fissures, atherosclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, cirrhosis, and migraine headache.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work for these or other purposes — it means the research we hold doesn't yet support those claims.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Peony

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.

White Peony appears to be generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported with oral use are digestive issues: abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, and general stomach discomfort.

In one trial, diarrhea occurred in 5% of participants taking a peony supplement three times daily for 24 weeks, compared to 1% on placebo. There is also a case report of easy bruising and bleeding gums in a person taking warfarin who switched brands of a multi-herb Chinese product containing peony.

During pregnancy, the safety data advise against use. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Peony

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 — Peony.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 814 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 White Peony, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets), hormone replacement therapy, birth control pills, the antipsychotic clozapine (Clozaril), or the anti-seizure drug phenytoin (Dilantin). Additionally, any medication broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 pathways may be affected — your pharmacist can confirm whether yours are on that list.

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.

White Peony may be worth considering if you're interested in trying a traditional herb, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't yet established. If you take blood thinners, hormone therapy, birth control, or drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 enzymes — or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding — you'll want to talk this over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Digestive upset is the most likely side effect.

White Peony7 drug types · 813 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, combining peony with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that peony might have antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and antithrombotic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Clozapine (Clozaril)

Theoretically, peony might increase the levels and clinical effects of clozapine.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on cytochromes P450 (CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, peony might interfere with contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Concomitant use might also increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of peony might interfere with hormone replacement therapy and/or increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Theoretically, peony might compete for estrogen receptors and/or cause additive estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, peony might reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking peony root reduces levels of phenytoin. Some researchers suggest that peony root might affect cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, which metabolizes phenytoin. However, preliminary research in humans shows that peony root does not alter levels of losartan (Cozaar), which is also metabolized by CYP2C9.

White Peony 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition: Common Questions

Does White Peony 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, White Peony 1000 mg has a known interaction with 813 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
White Peony 1000 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 White Peony if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against use during pregnancy. If you're breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What are the most common side effects?
Digestive issues are most likely: stomach bloating, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and general stomach discomfort. These tend to be mild, but in one trial 5% of people taking peony three times daily reported diarrhea.
Does White Peony actually work for anything?
The evidence we have doesn't yet support claims for aging skin, anal fissures, atherosclerosis, fatigue, cirrhosis, or migraines. That doesn't mean it's ineffective — it means the research backing those uses isn't established in our data.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
White Peony affects how your liver breaks down drugs and has estrogenic properties. Those two mechanisms together touch a very broad range of common medications — which is why checking your specific prescriptions with your pharmacist is important.
Is White Peony safe to take long-term?
It appears generally well tolerated for short-term use, but high-quality safety data for long-term use are limited. If you're considering regular use, talk it over with your pharmacist or doctor.
