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: blessed thistle at 450 mg per capsule. Blessed thistle is an herb traditionally used to support digestive function.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water, which are inactive ingredients that help deliver the herb.

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 Blessed Thistle product and its label doesn't state a use — see Blessed Thistle'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 isn't established in our data for blessed thistle to relieve indigestion or dyspepsia. You'll want to talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this herb is the right choice for your digestive needs.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blessed Thistle

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.

Blessed thistle is often well tolerated in small amounts, but human safety data are limited. In larger doses — more than 5 grams per cup of tea — it can cause stomach irritation and vomiting.

Topically, it can trigger an allergic reaction (dermatitis) if you're sensitive to the ragweed family of plants, which includes chrysanthemums, marigolds, and daisies. For pregnancy: the safety data advise against blessed thistle during pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to affect the uterus and lacks good safety studies.

For breastfeeding: blessed thistle has been used traditionally to support milk supply, but safety hasn't been well studied — check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Blessed Thistle

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Blessed Thistle.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 36 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 your medications if you take H2-blockers, antacids, or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for stomach acid or reflux. Blessed thistle may theoretically reduce how well these drugs work because it can increase stomach acid.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Blessed Thistle 450 mg might appeal to someone looking for a traditional digestive herb, but evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. If you take medications for heartburn, reflux, or ulcers, check your exact drugs with our tool before starting.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or taking high doses, talk with your pharmacist.
