HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Radish by Earthborn Elements

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: Black Radish. It's packaged in a gelatin capsule.

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 Radish product and its label doesn't state a use — see Radish'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 hold on Black Radish for biliary disorders and diabetes is insufficient to rate — meaning we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those purposes. While animal studies show radish can lower blood sugar, human trial data hasn't been established in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Radish

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.

Radish is a common food and generally well tolerated in normal amounts you'd eat. However, the safety of concentrated radish supplements like this hasn't been well studied.

Large amounts may irritate your stomach lining and cause mild indigestion. A rare case of allergy to radish has been reported, with symptoms including throat tightness and hives.

Unwashed raw sprouts should be avoided due to contamination risk. We don't have specific safety data on file for use in pregnancy or lactation — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

Check any antidiabetes medication (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, and others) before you take this product — radish may lower your blood sugar and increase the risk of it dropping too far.

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.

Black Radish might interest someone looking for a traditional herbal supplement, but the evidence for it isn't established yet. If you take antidiabetes drugs, you'll want to check your medications against our interaction tool before you start — the risk of low blood sugar is real.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether this fits your situation.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, radish might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that radish extract, juice, and sprouts can reduce glucose levels. Animal research also shows that radish root juice 300 mg/kg reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose in a rat model of diabetes, with effects similar to glibenclamide.

Black Radish by Earthborn Elements: Common Questions

Does Black Radish by Earthborn Elements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Black Radish has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black Radish 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.
Does Black Radish actually work for diabetes or digestive issues?
We don't have enough reliable human trial data to say whether it works for diabetes or biliary disorders. Animal studies suggest radish may lower blood sugar, but that doesn't mean the same effect happens in people.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Most people tolerate radish well when eaten as food. At higher doses, it may cause stomach irritation or mild indigestion. A very rare allergy has been reported with throat tightness and hives. If you notice any of those, stop and call your pharmacist.
Is it safe to take Black Radish if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have specific safety data on file for pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Should I be concerned about the gelatin capsule?
Gelatin is an inactive ingredient that helps hold the radish powder. If you avoid gelatin for dietary or religious reasons, you'll want to look for a different form, like a vegan capsule or powder.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Radish may lower your blood sugar, and if you're already taking a drug to do that, you could drop too low. Use the interaction tool on this page to check your exact medications, then talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
