HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zi Su Ye 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

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.

Zi Su Ye is a single-ingredient liquid supplement containing Perilla frutescens Leaf Extract. The extract comes from the leaf of the perilla plant, also called shiso in Asian cuisines, and is suspended in a base of alcohol, water, and glycerin.

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 Perilla's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Herbal extract support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Asthma, Cough, Inflammation, Respiratory function, Immune support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Perilla is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Perilla is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Asthma, Cough.

The evidence for perilla isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for age-related cognitive decline, hay fever, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, or headache.

That doesn't mean it won't help — it means the research to back up those claims isn't there yet or isn't conclusive enough for us to call.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Perilla

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.

Perilla is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement-strength products like this one haven't been well studied. On rare occasions, people have had anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) after consuming perilla seeds orally.

Topically, dermatitis has been reported. Because safety data is limited, we advise against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Zi Su Ye by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Zi Su Ye by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Zi Su Ye. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Zi Su Ye 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.
Is perilla safe to take while I'm pregnant?
The safety data isn't there yet. We advise against medicinal amounts during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for your situation — they can weigh your individual needs and the gaps in the data.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. We advise against medicinal amounts while breastfeeding. Chat with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does perilla really help with allergies or asthma?
We don't have reliable evidence to say whether it does. The claims exist, but the research backing them up isn't conclusive enough for us to rate it. Your pharmacist or doctor can discuss whether it might fit your situation.
What are the side effects?
Orally, perilla is generally well tolerated, though rare cases of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported, especially after consuming perilla seeds. If you have a history of food allergies, mention this product to your pharmacist before starting.
