HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bloat Be Gone by Signature Supplements

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.

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 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Bloat Be Gone contains six active ingredients: celery, juniper, cornsilk, Queen of the Meadow, cleavers, and uva ursi. The product also includes two inactive ingredients—cellulose and diatomaceous earth—which serve as capsule filler and flow agents.

Celery and cornsilk are traditional diuretics (water-shedding herbs), while juniper and uva ursi are also thought to promote fluid loss. Queen of the Meadow and cleavers round out the blend as herbal additions to the formula.

Evidence for Intended Use · database check

Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: assist kidney function and urinary health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Nocturnal enuresis, Prostatitis, Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Fluid retention — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Uva Ursi is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Corn Silk is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Prostatitis, Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Nocturnal enuresis.
  • Also on file: Uva Ursi is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The evidence for what this product actually does is limited. The ingredients carry effectiveness ratings of insufficient evidence for most claimed uses—celery hasn't been reliably studied for sexual dysfunction, anxiety, headache, depression, diabetes, or indigestion; cornsilk for angina, heart disease, heart failure, depression, diabetes, or fatigue; and juniper for GERD, rheumatoid arthritis, UTIs, wound healing, kidney stones, or bronchitis.

Uva ursi is rated possibly ineffective for urinary tract infections, meaning the evidence suggests it may not work for that purpose. We hold no effectiveness data for Queen of the Meadow or cleavers.

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Celery is generally well tolerated as food, but concentrated supplements can trigger allergies—symptoms range from itching and burning in the mouth to serious reactions like anaphylaxis, swelling of the throat, or exercise-induced anaphylaxis in sensitive people. Photosensitivity (a sun-triggered skin reaction) is also possible.

Cornsilk is generally well tolerated short-term, though it increases potassium loss and sodium loss in urine, which can be risky with prolonged use. Uva ursi is well tolerated at low doses for short periods but can be toxic at high doses (20 grams or more of dried herb may cause serious symptoms including convulsions and delirium).

Juniper is generally tolerated in food amounts and short-term use but may irritate the kidneys and shouldn't be used long-term. During pregnancy, medicinal amounts of celery and juniper should be avoided (food amounts of celery are likely fine), and cornsilk and uva ursi are not advised.

While breastfeeding, celery and juniper are best avoided due to insufficient safety data; cornsilk is possibly safe, and uva ursi should also be avoided.

Why this rating?
  • 5 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Meadowsweet, Corn Silk, Uva Ursi, Juniper, Celery.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,247 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 Bloat Be Gone, check your exact medications in our tool if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, diuretics, lithium, levothyroxine (Synthroid), venlafaxine (Effexor), warfarin (Coumadin), corticosteroids, or drugs processed by your liver's CYP1A2, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 enzymes—all carry documented interactions. If you take photosensitizing drugs, a Minor interaction exists with celery.

No interactions are documented in our data for Queen of the Meadow or cleavers.

For each ingredient in Bloat Be Gone with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Uva-Ursi6 drug types · 803 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit cytochrome CYP2C19. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase levels of drugs metabolized by glucuronidation.
In vitro, uva ursi extract appears to strongly inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1). However, uva ursi extract does not appear to inhibit UGT1A1 in animal models. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase lithium levels, necessitating a decrease in dose.
Uva ursi may have diuretic properties. Diuretics may increase lithium reabsorption with sodium in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Theoretically, uva ursi might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Urinary Acidifying Agents

Effects of uva ursi in the urinary tract may be reduced by urinary acidifying agents.
Uva ursi seems to work best in alkaline urine. Theoretically, taking uva ursi with medications known to acidify the urine may decrease any effects of uva ursi on the urinary tract.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may alter the levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Celery8 drug types · 651 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, celery root might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Celery root contains the constituents falcarinol and falcarindiol. Laboratory research suggests that these constituents can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, celery seed extract might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Clinical research suggests that taking celery seed extract may reduce daytime systolic blood pressure by about 12 mmHg compared to less than 1 mmHg with placebo.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, celery might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro and animal research suggests that constituents of celery can inhibit CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, celery seed might decrease the effects of levothyroxine.
Several cases of hypothyroidism with low T4 levels have been reported in people who were previously stabilized on levothyroxine and then started taking celery seed tablets. They presented with symptoms such as lethargy, bloating, and dry skin, and recovered when celery seed was stopped. However, celery stem and leaf has been associated with case reports of hyperthyroidism in patients with no pre-existing thyroid disorders.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, celery might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium due to potential diuretic effects.
Celery is thought to have diuretic properties. However, this effect has not been confirmed in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Venlafaxine (Effexor)

Theoretically, celery root extract might increase blood levels of venlafaxine.
There is one case report of a patient who experienced medication-induced bipolar disorder after beginning to take celery root extract 1000 mg daily along with venlafaxine 75 mg and St. John's wort 600 mg daily. Symptoms included confusion, speech abnormalities, manic affect, and visual hallucinations. The plasma level of venlafaxine was 476.8 ng/mL (normal range 195-400 ng/mL). It is theorized that celery root increased venlafaxine levels by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2D6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)

Theoretically, celery juice might increase the effects and side effects of acetaminophen.
Animal research suggests that concomitant use of celery juice plus acetaminophen prolongs the effects of acetaminophen. This effect has been attributed to a decrease in hepatic cytochrome P450 activity. However, other animal research shows that pretreatment with celery root extract protects against acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure. These effects have not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, celery might increase the risk of photosensitivity reactions when taken with photosensitizing drugs.
Laboratory research shows that celery contains photosensitizing agents such as phenols and psoralens.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Cornsilk5 drug types · 290 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking corn silk with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research in diabetic mice shows that taking corn silk extract lowers fasting blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Taking corn silk extract with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Clinical research in both hypertensive and normotensive adults shows that taking corn silk extract lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Corticosteroids

Taking corn silk with corticosteroids might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Clinical research shows that taking corn silk extract increases the urinary excretion of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Taking corn silk with diuretic drugs might increase the risk of adverse effects such as hyponatremia and hypokalemia.
Clinical research shows that taking corn silk extract increases urine volume and promotes the urinary excretion of sodium and potassium. Some patients may require electrolyte supplementation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, suddenly stopping, starting, or changing corn silk treatment may alter the effects of warfarin.
Corn silk contains vitamin K. Individuals taking warfarin should consume a consistent daily amount of corn silk to maintain consistent anticoagulation.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D

Juniper3 drug types · 162 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking juniper berry with antidiabetes medications might cause additive hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that juniper berry can lower blood glucose.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, juniper berry might increase the risk of adverse effects from diuretic drugs.
Juniper berry is thought to have mild diuretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, juniper berry might reduce lithium excretion and increase serum levels of lithium.
Juniper berry is thought to have mild diuretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Queen of the Meadow3 drug types · 39 drugs

Aspirin

Theoretically, meadowsweet might have an additive effect with other salicylate-containing drugs, such as aspirin.
Meadowsweet contains salicin, a plant salicylate; however, salicin doesn't seem to have the antiplatelet effects of aspirin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Theoretically, meadowsweet might have an additive effect with other salicylate-containing drugs, such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.
Meadowsweet contains salicin, a plant salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Theoretically, meadowsweet might have an additive effect with other salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Meadowsweet contains salicin, a plant salicylate.

Bloat Be Gone by Signature Supplements: Common Questions

Does Bloat Be Gone by Signature Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bloat Be Gone has a known interaction with 1,246 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bloat Be Gone contains 6 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 while I'm pregnant?
Medicinal amounts of celery and juniper are not advised during pregnancy because they may affect the uterus. Cornsilk and uva ursi also lack sufficient safety data, so they're best avoided. Food amounts of celery are likely fine, but talk with your doctor or midwife before taking any herbal supplement while pregnant.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
Celery and juniper are best avoided while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Cornsilk is rated possibly safe, but uva ursi should also be avoided. There's no safety data on file for Queen of the Meadow or cleavers. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
What are the most common side effects?
Celery can cause photosensitivity (sun-triggered skin reactions) and oral allergy syndrome (itching and burning in the mouth) in sensitive people. Cornsilk may cause low potassium and low sodium levels with prolonged use. Uva ursi can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach upset, especially at higher doses.
Is this safe for people with a celery allergy?
No. If you're allergic to celery, you should avoid this product entirely. Celery allergies can trigger serious reactions, including anaphylaxis (a life-threatening reaction), throat swelling, and anaphylactic shock—and these can happen whether the celery is raw, cooked, or in supplement form.
Can I take this long-term?
Uva ursi and juniper should not be used long-term due to potential kidney irritation and toxicity risk. Cornsilk is meant for short-term use, as prolonged use can cause significant potassium and sodium loss. Talk with your pharmacist about how long it's safe for you to take this product.
Does this actually work for bloating?
The evidence for how well this product works isn't established in our data. While the ingredients are traditional herbal diuretics, they haven't been reliably studied as a combination for bloating or other digestive complaints.
