HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Asparagus 175 mg by Solaray

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: asparagus and asparagus rhizome (root) extract — both forms of the same plant. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, with cellulose, magnesium stearate, and maltodextrin as inactive ingredients (binders and fillers that help hold the capsule together).

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 Asparagus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Asparagus'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 have on asparagus for the conditions it's been studied for — acne, cancer, constipation, high blood pressure, intestinal parasites, and kidney stones — is insufficient to rate. That means the data doesn't establish whether it works for any of these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, it's worth asking your pharmacist or doctor whether there's solid evidence behind it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus

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.

Asparagus as food is generally well tolerated, but this product is a concentrated extract — and concentrated forms haven't been studied as thoroughly. Allergic reactions are possible, especially if you're sensitive to onion, garlic, leek, or chive family plants; reactions can range from itchy eyes and a runny nose to swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing.

One combination study (using much higher doses than this product) reported gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and dry mouth in up to half the participants, and gout in about 2% — though it's unclear whether asparagus alone was responsible. For pregnancy, the data shows conflicting ratings (Likely Safe and Possibly Unsafe both appear in the literature), so there isn't enough clarity to be certain.

During breastfeeding, it's rated Likely Safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product fits your situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Asparagus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 76 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this supplement, check with your pharmacist if you take diuretic drugs (water pills) or lithium. Both are Moderate-severity interactions where asparagus may affect how your body handles the medication.

The interaction with lithium is particularly important because it could change your blood levels of the drug.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may appeal to you if you're interested in asparagus extracts, but the evidence for what it actually does is weak. If you take diuretics or lithium, you'll need to discuss this with your pharmacist before starting.

The safety data on concentrated extracts is limited, so caution is warranted — especially if you have a sensitivity to onion or garlic family plants.

Asparagus 175 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Asparagus 175 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Asparagus 175 mg has a known interaction with 76 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Asparagus 175 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data on asparagus in pregnancy is mixed — some evidence suggests it's likely safe, but other evidence raises caution. There isn't enough clarity to be certain. For breastfeeding, it's rated likely safe, but you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation before starting.
What does asparagus do in this supplement?
This product contains asparagus and asparagus root extract, but the evidence we have doesn't establish that it's effective for the conditions it's been studied for — acne, cancer, constipation, high blood pressure, kidney stones, or intestinal parasites. The data is insufficient to rate its usefulness.
Could this give me an allergic reaction?
Yes, if you're sensitive to onion, garlic, leek, or chive family plants, asparagus can trigger allergic reactions. Symptoms can include itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, hives, difficulty swallowing, or trouble breathing. In rare cases, severe reactions are possible.
What about side effects from the extract itself?
Most trial side effects come from a combination product at much higher doses, so it's unclear if they apply here. That study reported constipation, bloating, stomach pain, nausea, and dry mouth in some people. The extract form hasn't been studied as thoroughly as whole asparagus food, so caution is advised.
Is this just asparagus like I eat for dinner?
It contains asparagus and a concentrated root extract — not the same as eating whole asparagus at dinner. Eating asparagus as food is fine, but medicinal doses and extracts haven't been proven safe, so the safety bar is higher here.
