HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yi Yi Ren Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Yi Yi Ren Alcohol Free contains one active ingredient: Job's tears seed extract (dry form). The extract is suspended in glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

Job's tears—also called Coix lacryma-jobi—is a grain used in traditional herbal practice. This product is alcohol-free, which means the active compounds have been extracted and preserved without ethanol.

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 Job's Tears product and its label doesn't state a use — see Job's Tears'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 data we hold rates Job's tears for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides (hyperlipidemia) as having insufficient reliable evidence. That means the studies so far don't provide enough solid information to say whether it works for that purpose.

If you're considering it for cholesterol, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Job's Tears

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Job's tears is generally well tolerated as a cooked food, but concentrated supplement evidence is limited. The safety notes advise caution because reliable data on the supplement form itself is scarce.

The traditional advice is to avoid it during pregnancy, and human safety data are lacking. For breastfeeding, we don't hold reliable data either.

Because safety in both situations is uncertain, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Job's tears is a traditional grain supplement, but it has moderate interactions with diabetes medications, cough suppressants, heart and breathing drugs, and muscle relaxers. If you take any of those, you'll want to check this product against your exact medications first.

Talk with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on blood sugar medication.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Preliminary evidence shows that constituents of Job's tears might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs that decrease blood glucose levels might increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Animal research suggests that Job's tears might enhance absorption of chlorzoxazone in the small intestine. Single dose and short-term oral administration of Job's tears bran ethanolic extract along with oral administration of a five-drug cocktail containing chlorzoxazone increases chlorzoxazone peak plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) without altering major cytochrome P450 activities in the liver. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Dextromethorphan (Robitussin Dm, Others)

Animal research suggests that Job's tears might enhance absorption of dextromethorphan in the small intestine. Single dose oral administration of Job's tears bran ethanolic extract along with oral administration of a five-drug cocktail containing dextromethorphan increases dextromethorphan area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) without altering major cytochrome P450 activities in the liver. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Animal research suggests that Job's tears might enhance absorption of diltiazem in the small intestine. Single dose oral administration of Job's tears bran ethanolic extract along with oral administration of a five-drug cocktail containing diltiazem increases diltiazem peak plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) without altering major cytochrome P450 activities in the liver. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Theophylline

Animal research suggests that Job's tears might enhance absorption of theophylline in the small intestine. Single dose and short-term oral administration of Job's tears bran ethanolic extract along with oral administration of a five-drug cocktail containing theophylline increases theophylline peak plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) without altering major cytochrome P450 activities in the liver.

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 is Job's tears, and why is it in this product?
Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi) is a grain used in traditional herbal medicine. This product contains a dry extract of the seed, concentrated and suspended in glycerin and water. It's taken as a supplement for general wellness, though evidence for specific health claims is limited.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Job's tears shows preliminary evidence of lowering blood sugar itself, so combining it with insulin or diabetes drugs could raise your risk of low blood sugar. Do not start this product without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first—they need to know your exact medication.
Is this product safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The safety data are lacking for both. Traditionally, Job's tears has been avoided in pregnancy, and we don't have reliable information on breastfeeding either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Does this product actually work for high cholesterol?

What are the side effects?
We don't hold data on common side effects from this supplement. Because concentrated supplement evidence is limited, if you experience anything unusual after starting, let your pharmacist or doctor know.
