HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bloodroot Tincture & Formula 203X by TumoRx

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (30 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This is a liquid tincture with 3 ingredients listed: water, a proprietary blend, and alcohol. The active ingredient is bloodroot, a plant traditionally used for oral health.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Bloodroot's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Bloodroot for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Dental plaque — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Gingivitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Bloodroot is possibly effective for dental plaque and gingivitis — the evidence supports some benefit for these two conditions. For irritable bowel syndrome and periodontitis, the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bloodroot

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.

Bloodroot comes with significant safety concerns you should know about. The facts we hold advise against it during pregnancy because it may be toxic, and it's possibly unsafe while breastfeeding due to lack of safety data and potential toxicity.

Orally, bloodroot is generally well tolerated at appropriate doses used short term, but nausea, vomiting, and central nervous system depression have been reported. Higher doses can cause low blood pressure (hypotension), glaucoma, shock, and coma.

Long-term use of bloodroot toothpaste or mouthwash has been linked to mouth sores, altered taste, and staining of the tongue, teeth, and fillings. Topical use carries serious risks: skin corrosion, severe pain, burning, deep scarring, and erosion have been documented in patients who applied it to skin lesions for days or weeks.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bloodroot

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. We were unable to check water and alcohol.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist to confirm this product is safe to combine with your specific medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Bloodroot has limited evidence for dental plaque and gum inflammation, but its safety profile carries real concerns — especially the risk of mouth sores, altered taste, and serious scarring with topical use. It's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product, particularly if you're pregnant, nursing, or considering it for anything beyond short-term oral health support.

Bloodroot Tincture & Formula 203X by TumoRx: Common Questions

Does Bloodroot Tincture & Formula 203X by TumoRx interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Bloodroot Tincture & Formula 203X. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bloodroot Tincture & Formula 203X contains 3 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.
Is bloodroot safe during pregnancy?
No — the safety data we hold rates bloodroot as likely unsafe during pregnancy because it may be toxic and its safety isn't established. Avoid it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I use this while breastfeeding?
The data advises against it. Bloodroot is rated possibly unsafe while breastfeeding due to lack of safety data and potential toxicity. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
What are the most common side effects if I take it by mouth?
Nausea, vomiting, and central nervous system depression (drowsiness or dizziness) have been reported with oral use. At higher doses, it can cause low blood pressure, glaucoma, shock, and coma, so staying within appropriate doses and using it short term is important.
Can bloodroot help with gum disease?
Bloodroot is possibly effective for dental plaque and gingivitis (gum inflammation) — there's some evidence it may help with these two conditions. For periodontitis (deeper gum infection), the evidence we hold is insufficient to say whether it works.
What happens if I use this topically on skin?
Topical use carries serious risks: burning, pain, skin corrosion, and permanent scarring have been documented in people who applied bloodroot products to skin lesions for days or weeks. The facts advise against topical use altogether.
