HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astragalus Alcohol Free 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 contains one active ingredient: astragalus root extract, a dry extract form. The liquid also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients — these are the base that keeps the extract in solution.

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 Astragalus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astragalus'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 on file doesn't establish that astragalus works for any condition we have rated it on. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), amenorrhea, aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the science isn't solid enough yet to make a claim.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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.

Astragalus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though good human safety data is limited. In clinical trials, a small number of people reported dizziness or chest discomfort (angina-like symptoms), though these effects may not have been caused by the herb itself.

Intravenous forms have caused rash and itching in some cases, though you're taking this orally. We don't have enough data to recommend astragalus during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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 — Astragalus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 208 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 product, check whether you're on immunosuppressants (such as after transplant), lithium, cyclophosphamide, or diabetes drugs — all carry moderate interactions with astragalus. Ask your pharmacist to review your full medication list.

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.

If you're looking to support general immune function and don't take immunosuppressants, lithium, cyclophosphamide, or diabetes medications, this could be worth asking your pharmacist about. If you take any of those drugs, or if you're pregnant or nursing, check with us first.

Run your medications through the interaction checker on this page before you start.
