HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Xtra-Cell Immunity by Douglas Laboratories

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.

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Xtra-Cell Immunity contains three active ingredients sourced from animal tissue: porcine thymus aqueous extract, porcine liver aqueous extract, and porcine spleen aqueous extract. These are water-based extracts meant to support immune function.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 Liver Extract product and its label doesn't state a use — see Liver Extract'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 supporting liver extract for chronic fatigue syndrome is limited — it's rated possibly ineffective for that condition. For hepatitis C, there isn't enough reliable evidence to make a rating.

We hold no effectiveness data for the thymus and spleen extracts in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Liver Extract

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.

No adverse reactions have been reported in trials, but a comprehensive safety evaluation hasn't been done. There's concern about contamination because liver extract comes from raw animal liver obtained at slaughterhouses, potentially from sick or diseased animals.

There's also a risk that liver extracts from countries where mad cow disease (BSE) has been reported — including Great Britain, France, The Netherlands, Portugal, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Oman, and Belgium — could theoretically carry contaminated tissue, though no cases of BSE transfer to humans from these products have been reported. Liver extract can deliver very high levels of vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby; the safety data advises against it in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Safety hasn't been well studied overall, so talk with your doctor before using.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Liver Extract.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 3 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 your pharmacist before using this product if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any iron supplements or iron-containing medications. We could not check two of the three ingredients in this product for interactions, so run your exact drug list through the search tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is aimed at immune support, but the evidence for its active ingredients is limited or unstudied. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, you should discuss this product with your pharmacist first.

Also consider the source-quality and contamination concerns noted in the safety data — ask your pharmacist whether the brand discloses where its animal extracts come from.

Porcine Liver Aqueous Extract2 drug types · 3 drugs

Iron

Liver extract can contain heme iron. Taking liver extract with iron-containing medications or supplements may increase total iron intake and could increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects or excessive iron accumulation. The risk is greater with high doses, prolonged use, or in individuals with hemochromatosis or another iron-overload disorder. Review the iron content of the liver extract and the total elemental iron dose. Avoid unnecessary duplicate iron supplementation and consider monitoring ferritin and transferrin saturation when clinically appropriate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Liver extract products may contain small and variable amounts of vitamin K. Theoretically, starting, stopping, or substantially changing the amount of liver extract used could reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and lower the INR. However, this interaction has not been directly studied or reported in humans, and the vitamin K content of liver extract products is generally not standardized. Consider monitoring the INR after a meaningful change in liver extract use.

Xtra-Cell Immunity by Douglas Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Xtra-Cell Immunity by Douglas Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Xtra-Cell Immunity has a known interaction with 3 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Xtra-Cell Immunity 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 pregnant?
The liver extract in this product can deliver very high vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby. The safety data advises against it in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.
Has this product been tested for safety?
A thorough safety evaluation hasn't been conducted, and safety hasn't been well studied overall. No adverse reactions have been reported, but there are concerns about possible contamination from raw animal liver and potential mad cow disease contamination in products from certain countries.
What is porcine thymus extract supposed to do?
It's meant to support immune function, but we hold no data on its effectiveness, so we can't tell you whether it works for that purpose.
What is liver extract supposed to do in this formula?
It's included for immune support. The evidence for chronic fatigue syndrome is limited (rated possibly ineffective), and for hepatitis C there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it. We don't have effectiveness data for the other uses people might consider.
Does this product contain any fillers or other inactive ingredients?
No — the product facts list no inactive ingredients.
Could this affect my iron levels?
The liver extract in this product contains heme iron. If you also take iron supplements or iron-containing medications, combined intake could raise your total iron and potentially cause stomach upset or, in people with iron-overload conditions, worsen iron accumulation. Talk with your pharmacist about your iron intake.
