HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zi Su Ye 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: certified organic Zi Su Ye (Folium perillae) dried leaf liquid extract, which is perilla leaf in concentrated liquid form. The menstruum listed is an inactive ingredient — it's the liquid used to extract and preserve the active component.

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 Perilla product and its label doesn't state a use — see Perilla'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 we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for any of the conditions this ingredient is used for — age-related cognitive decline, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, and headache all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means we simply don't have strong enough studies in our data to say whether it works or doesn't.

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.

Orally, perilla is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement-strength products aren't well studied. The main concern is a rare but serious allergic reaction — anaphylaxis has been reported in adults and children who consumed perilla seeds, and research points to a compound called oleosin as the likely culprit.

Topically, dermatitis has been reported. There isn't enough safety data to recommend medicinal amounts during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if either applies to you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Perilla

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That said, always run your exact medications through the search tool on this page or ask us to confirm before you start.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Zi Su Ye is generally well tolerated orally, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. If you have a known perilla or sesame seed allergy, steer clear — anaphylaxis is rare but serious.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of food allergies.

Zi Su Ye by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Zi Su Ye by Herbal Terra 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.
What exactly is Zi Su Ye?
Zi Su Ye is perilla leaf — a plant used in traditional herbalism. This product is a concentrated liquid extract of the dried leaf. It's been used as a food and in cooking for a long time, though supplement-strength versions aren't as well studied.
Can I take this if I have a sesame seed or tree nut allergy?
That's a conversation to have with your pharmacist first. Perilla can trigger anaphylaxis (a serious allergic reaction) in some people, and there may be cross-reactivity if you're allergic to related seeds. Don't take it without checking.
Is it safe to use while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend medicinal amounts of perilla during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to figure out whether it's right for you.
Does this actually work for the conditions listed on the label?
We don't have reliable evidence in our data showing it works for age-related cognitive decline, hay fever, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, or headache. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — just that we haven't found strong studies proving it does.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate perilla well orally. Rare but serious: anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) has been reported, especially after eating perilla seeds. If you take it topically, watch for dermatitis (skin irritation). Stop and call your doctor or pharmacist if you have trouble breathing or severe swelling.
