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 Arrowroot 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Arrowroot extract. Arrowroot is a starch derived from the root or rhizome of the arrowroot plant, traditionally used in cooking and now offered here in concentrated liquid form.
The inactive ingredients are vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical grade alcohol, and artesian Hawaiian purified water.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence isn't established. For irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — one of the reasons people might consider arrowroot — we don't have reliable data to rate how well it works.
That doesn't mean it won't help you; it just means the clinical evidence isn't solid enough to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Arrowroot starch is eaten widely as food and is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. That said, there isn't enough data on concentrated or medicinal use to be completely certain, so use caution if you're taking it beyond what you'd eat in regular food.
In one clinical trial, some people reported dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation, and dark stools. For pregnancy and lactation, the safety data suggests it's possibly safe, but there isn't enough information to be definitive — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for this product.
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.
Arrowroot extract might appeal to you if you're looking for traditional digestive support, but the evidence for IBS specifically isn't clear. It's generally well tolerated as a food, though medicinal use hasn't been well studied.
If you're pregnant, nursing, considering it for a specific condition, or have any digestive concerns, run it by your doctor or pharmacist first.
