What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Zi Su Zi against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zi Su Zi 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Perilla frutescens (also called Zi Su Zi) dried leaf in liquid extract form. Perilla is a plant traditionally used in herbal preparations.
The extract also contains menstruum, an inactive ingredient used in liquid formulations.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate Perilla for age-related cognitive decline, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, or headache. In other words, we don't have enough solid research to say whether it works for these uses.
If you're thinking about it for a specific condition, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence does support.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Perilla is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement-strength products haven't been studied extensively. Orally, it's usually well tolerated, though rare cases of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported — some people may be allergic to compounds in perilla seeds.
Topically, dermatitis can occur. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know either way.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient. Even so, if you take any prescription or over-the-counter medications, check them against the search tool on this page before starting.
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 Zi is a single-ingredient perilla extract with no documented interactions in our database. It's generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement-strength products are less studied.
Because of the rare risk of allergic reaction and the lack of pregnancy and breastfeeding data, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — especially if you're pregnant, nursing, have a history of allergies, or take any medications.
