HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zhu Ling 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.

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: poria mushroom extract (derived from Polyporus umbellatus). The remaining ingredients are glycerin and water, which serve as inactive carriers and preservatives for the liquid formula.

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 Poria Mushroom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Poria Mushroom'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 poria mushroom extract for the conditions listed — cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, dementia, diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, and diarrhea — is insufficient. We don't have reliable data showing whether it works for any of these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Poria Mushroom

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.

Poria mushroom extract is generally well tolerated based on traditional use, but human safety data are limited. Allergic reactions have been reported rarely, including allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma.

The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for either.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Poria Mushroom

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Poria Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 417 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, double-check if you're on sedatives or other CNS depressants (such as sleep aids or anxiety medications), anticholinergic drugs (like certain medications for overactive bladder or Parkinson's), or cholinergic drugs. The poria mushroom extract may theoretically affect how these work — all Moderate severity — though these interactions haven't been proven in people.
