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 one active ingredient: white peony root at 1000 mg per capsule. White peony has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, and the capsule also holds cellulose, glycerin, and water as inactive ingredients to hold everything together.

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 we hold on white peony isn't established for the conditions listed — including aging skin, anal fissures, atherosclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, cirrhosis, and migraine headaches. All of these are rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate, which means the research so far hasn't been solid enough to confirm whether it works or not.

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 is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but high-quality safety data are limited. The most common side effects from taking it by mouth are stomach-related: abdominal distension, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and nausea.

In one study, diarrhea showed up in 5% of people taking a peony product at a higher dose for 24 weeks, compared to 1% on placebo. Do not use this during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data, and some traditional uses raise concern.

There's also not enough reliable information to say it's safe while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

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: 812 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 product, check your medications against these drug types: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and similar), estrogen-based hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 enzymes in your liver, clozapine, and phenytoin. All carry Moderate-severity interaction potential.

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 might be worth a try if you're interested in traditional herbal support and don't take blood thinners, hormonal contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, or drugs metabolized by your liver's main enzyme systems. Because interactions with those medication types are documented, run your prescriptions through the checker before starting.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid it.

White Peony7 drug types · 811 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 811 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.
What are the most common side effects I might feel?
Stomach upset is the main thing — abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and nausea. These happened in some people taking peony, especially at higher doses. If you notice any of these, dial back or stop and let us know.
Is white peony proven to work for anything?
Not yet, according to the data we hold. The uses listed — aging skin, anal fissures, atherosclerosis, chronic fatigue, cirrhosis, and migraines — all have insufficient reliable evidence so far. More research is needed to say whether it works.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Avoid it during pregnancy because safety data are limited and some traditional uses raise concern. There's also not enough reliable information to say it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor if you have questions about it.
Why are there so many medications on the interaction list if this is just an herb?
Peony works through your liver's main enzyme systems — CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 — which break down hundreds of different drugs. That's why it can theoretically affect so many medications at once, even though peony itself is just a plant extract.
What makes this different from other peony products?
The facts we have don't tell us how this brand compares to others. What matters most is the active ingredient — white peony root — and the dose, which is 1000 mg here. The interaction and safety profile is the same for peony across brands.
