HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yin Chen Non-Alcohol 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 Oct 1, 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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: wild harvested yin chen extract, a traditional herbal preparation. The extract also includes vegetable palm glycerin and artesian Hawaiian water as inactive ingredients that help deliver the yin chen.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Yin Chen's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Liver and gallbladder support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Biliary disorders, Liver disease, Jaundice, Cholestasis.
  • The closest evidence on file: Yin Chen is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Biliary disorders (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Yin Chen is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Liver disease, Neonatal jaundice.

The evidence we hold does not establish whether yin chen works for any of its traditional uses. It's been used historically for asthma, biliary (bile duct) disorders, liver disease, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and metabolic syndrome, but the research backing it up is insufficient.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the data we have aren't strong enough to rate it one way or another.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yin Chen

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.

Yin chen is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though human safety data are limited because it's used mainly in traditional medicine. The most common side effects are abdominal distension, dizziness, and nausea.

Rare but serious effects include heart arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), fainting, numbness, and tremors—particularly at higher doses (15–30 grams). One case report linked a combination of yin chen and another herb to a dangerous heart rhythm collapse, though it's unclear which ingredient was responsible.

There isn't enough safety information for pregnancy. Artemisia plants (yin chen's botanical family) are advised against during pregnancy based on limited data.

Similarly, there's no reliable safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for your situation.

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 — Yin Chen.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 starting this product, check your medications against these types: pentobarbital and other central nervous system depressants (sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, opioids, antihistamines, alcohol). Yin chen may amplify their sedating effects.

Altogether, these interactions span 248 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Yin Chen Non-Alcohol is a single-ingredient herbal extract with a long history in traditional medicine, but modern evidence for its effectiveness isn't established yet. If you take any sedating medications—sleep aids, anxiety drugs, pain relievers, or anything that slows your nervous system—you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it, because yin chen may intensify drowsiness and coordination problems.

It's not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Does Yin Chen Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yin Chen Non-Alcohol has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Yin Chen Non-Alcohol 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 is yin chen extract, and what is it traditionally used for?
Yin chen (also spelled capillaris) is an herb from the Artemisia family, long used in traditional medicine for asthma, liver and bile duct problems, metabolic issues, and period pain. This product contains a wild-harvested extract in a non-alcoholic liquid base.
Does yin chen actually work for these conditions?
The research data we have aren't strong enough to confirm it works. All the conditions listed—asthma, liver disease, biliary disorders, dysmenorrhea, and metabolic syndrome—are rated as having insufficient evidence, so we can't say yes or no based on current evidence.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common are abdominal distension (bloating), dizziness, and nausea. These are mild and happen in people who tolerate it generally well. Rare but more serious effects include heart rhythm problems, fainting, numbness, and tremors, especially at higher doses.
Can I take yin chen while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Safety data aren't available. Artemisia plants are advised against during pregnancy based on limited information. There's also no reliable safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
Does yin chen interact with sleep medications or anxiety drugs?
Yes—yin chen can enhance the effects of these medications. Animal research shows it has sedative properties and can increase drowsiness and impair balance when combined with depressant drugs like pentobarbital. You need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it alongside any sedating medication, including alcohol.
