HerbContra

HerbContra is a mobile + web app that helps people quickly screen medicinal herbs and supplements for interactions, contraindications, and red-flag symptoms. Users search an herb (e.g., St. John’s wort) or scan a supplement label, then add their medications, conditions (pregnancy, hypertension, liver disease), and goals. The app returns a plain-language risk summary with severity levels, evidence grade, and what to ask a clinician. It also flags common “stacking” risks (bleeding, serotonin, sedation) and suggests safer alternatives when evidence supports them. This is not a diagnosis tool; it’s a safety triage and education layer. The core value is speed and clarity: most resources are either too academic, too woo-woo, or buried in PDFs. Monetization: freemium with a paid “Medication List + Family Profiles” plan and a clinician/retail dashboard for pharmacies and supplement shops.
