HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Haw 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.

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 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: a wildcrafted Black Haw extract. Black Haw is a traditional herbal remedy that's been used historically for various purposes.

The extract is suspended in vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and artesian Hawaiian purified water.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Black Haw's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: menstrual and uterine health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Miscarriage, menstrual cramps, uterine spasms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Black Haw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Miscarriage (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Black Haw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dysmenorrhea.

The evidence we have doesn't establish Black Haw as effective for asthma, diarrhea, miscarriage prevention, or dysmenorrhea (painful periods). All of these uses are listed as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That means we simply don't have solid human studies to back them up yet.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Black Haw is generally used in traditional medicine, but human safety data are limited. The ingredient carries two avoid warnings: its effects on the uterus are uncertain, so you shouldn't use it unless a doctor advises otherwise, and there isn't enough safety information for nursing mothers.

No adverse effects were reported in our data.

Black Haw by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Black Haw by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Black Haw. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black Haw contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Is Black Haw safe during pregnancy?
No. The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy because its effects on the uterus are uncertain. Talk to your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant.
Can I take Black Haw while nursing?
The data advises against it—there isn't enough safety information for nursing mothers. Speak with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's right for you if you're breastfeeding.
Does Black Haw work for painful periods?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does. Dysmenorrhea is listed as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate, which means we don't have solid human studies backing it up yet.
What is Black Haw used for traditionally?
It's been used in traditional medicine for asthma, diarrhea, miscarriage prevention, and dysmenorrhea, among other uses. However, we don't have reliable human evidence supporting these uses.
