HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zen Chi Energy Matrix Base by Systemic Formulas

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 Jul 11, 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 3 active ingredients.

Zen Chi Energy Matrix Base has three active ingredients in liquid form. Pau d'arco is a tree bark traditionally used for various conditions, though scientific evidence for those uses is limited.

Cyani flowers powder — commonly known as cornflower — and canaigre root powder round out the formula. The liquid is delivered in a base of spring water and 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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The effectiveness evidence for this product's ingredients is not established in our data. Pau d'arco has been studied for cancer, peptic ulcers, wound healing, and menstrual pain, but the evidence for each is insufficient to rate.

Cyani flowers and canaigre root lack effectiveness ratings in our records as well. If you're considering this product for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pau D'arco Cornflower Canaigre

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 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pau d'arco should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of safety data and possible harm to a developing baby or nursing infant. At doses above 1.5 grams daily of its lapachol compound, pau d'arco may cause anemia, bleeding risk, severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea — side effects tied to higher doses and limited human safety data overall.

Cyani flowers powder is generally low-risk in food and tea amounts, but human safety data are limited; it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Canaigre root powder has limited safety data and high tannin content, so it should be used cautiously if at all, and avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding as well.

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Pau D'arco.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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 Zen Chi Energy Matrix Base, double-check if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet medications — pau d'arco may increase your bleeding risk (Moderate severity). Use the medication checker below to search your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Zen Chi Energy Matrix Base may appeal to those seeking traditional herbal support, but it's not the right choice if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — pau d'arco raises bleeding risk. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off-limits for all three ingredients due to lack of safety data.

Pau d'Arco1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, pau d'arco might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that pau d'arco reduces platelet aggregation and may interfere with vitamin K. One clinical study shows that taking the lapachol constituent of pau d'arco in doses above 1.5 grams daily increases the risk of bleeding. The effects of whole pau d'arco or pau d'arco extract in humans are unclear.

Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Pau d'arco is a tree bark that's been traditionally used for cancer, peptic ulcers, wound healing, and menstrual pain. However, we don't have reliable evidence that it actually works for any of these conditions.

Pau d'arco — especially at higher doses — may cause anemia, increased bleeding risk, severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Human safety data are limited overall. Cyani flowers and canaigre root have limited safety information but no documented adverse effects in our data.
Is this product safe to use with my medications?
That depends on what you take. Pau d'arco interacts with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin and warfarin, raising your bleeding risk. Use the medication checker on this page to search your exact drugs before you start.

The product is delivered in a liquid base of spring water and ethanol (alcohol). These are excipients — they help dissolve and stabilize the active ingredients.
