HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zi Su Zi Alcohol Free 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.

This product has one active ingredient: perilla fruit extract (dry form). Perilla is a plant traditionally used in Asian cuisines and folk medicine.

The liquid delivers it in a base of glycerin and water, with no alcohol.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Support for seasonal allergies and respiratory health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Asthma, Atopic dermatitis, Airway inflammation.
  • 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.

The evidence for perilla's effectiveness isn't established for the conditions listed here — age-related cognitive decline, hay fever, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, and headache. The research we hold rates all of them as having insufficient reliable evidence to make a claim.

That doesn't mean perilla doesn't work; it means more study is needed to know.

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 haven't been studied as thoroughly, so caution is warranted. The main concern is an allergy: oral use has rarely triggered anaphylaxis (a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction), particularly from perilla seeds.

A compound called oleosin may be responsible for these reactions. If you've ever had an allergic reaction to perilla, sesame, or related seeds, don't use this product.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data to know whether medicinal amounts are okay — the safety data advises against use in these periods. Talk with your OB or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 for the ingredients we could check in this product. Run your exact medications through the tool on this page to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Zi Su Zi Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient perilla extract with no documented medication interactions — a plus if you're on other drugs. The catch is that its effectiveness for any of the listed conditions isn't proven, and supplement-strength perilla hasn't been heavily studied for safety.

If you have a seed allergy, skip it. Otherwise, talk to your pharmacist about whether it makes sense for your situation.

Zi Su Zi Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Zi Su Zi Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Zi Su Zi Alcohol Free. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Zi Su Zi Alcohol Free 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 if I have a seed allergy?
Perilla is a seed plant, and some people with seed allergies have had serious allergic reactions to perilla — including anaphylaxis, a life-threatening emergency. If you've reacted to sesame, sunflower seeds, or other seeds, tell your pharmacist before you use this product. If you have any doubt, skip it.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data for perilla during pregnancy, and the data we hold advises against medicinal amounts. Talk with your OB or pharmacist before you start — it's a conversation worth having before you decide.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for perilla while breastfeeding, and the data we hold advises against medicinal amounts. Check with your pharmacist or doctor to see whether it's right for you.
Does perilla actually work for hay fever, asthma, or the other conditions listed?
The evidence we hold rates all of those uses as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning we don't have enough solid research to say yes or no. More study is needed before we can make a real claim.
What are the side effects?
Taken by mouth, perilla seems to be well tolerated overall. The rare serious side effect is anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction), mainly reported from perilla seeds. If you apply it to skin, dermatitis (irritated, inflamed skin) has been reported.
Why is this alcohol-free?
Many herbal extracts are preserved and delivered in an alcohol base. This one uses glycerin and water instead, which makes it alcohol-free — useful if you want to avoid alcohol or need to for health, religious, or personal reasons.
