HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition

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.

Burdock 1000 mg contains one active ingredient: organic burdock root. Each capsule delivers 1,000 mg of this root, traditionally used in herbal medicine for various purposes.

The capsule itself is vegan—a plant-based shell with no animal-derived materials.

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 Burdock product and its label doesn't state a use — see Burdock'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 for burdock's effectiveness isn't established in our data. The product is marketed for uses like acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and eczema, but the safety data we hold rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean burdock doesn't work—it means the clinical research backing these specific claims is limited or incomplete.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Burdock

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.

Burdock is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food, and it has a long history of use with few reported problems. That said, human safety data for medicinal amounts are limited.

Serious allergic reactions, including severe rashes (contact dermatitis) and anaphylaxis, are rare but documented. One case of liver injury was reported in someone taking an herbal detox tea containing burdock along with other herbs, though it's unclear whether burdock was the culprit.

Skin reactions from burdock plasters (a topical application) have been reported, sometimes appearing days after use. Burdock should be avoided during pregnancy because safety data are lacking and the root may affect the uterus.

It should also be avoided while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Burdock

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Burdock.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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 Burdock 1000 mg, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs—blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin. These medications already reduce clotting, and burdock may theoretically increase that effect and raise bleeding risk.

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.

Burdock 1000 mg may be considered by someone looking for an herbal supplement with a long traditional use, but anyone taking blood thinners or antiplatelet medications should check with their doctor or pharmacist first. Pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid it.

Because allergic reactions are possible, stop and seek medical help if you develop a rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Burdock 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Burdock 1000 mg by Remedys Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Burdock 1000 mg has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Burdock 1000 mg 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.
Can I take burdock if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Burdock should be avoided during pregnancy because safety data are lacking and it may affect the uterus. Avoid it while breastfeeding too—there isn't enough safety information in that situation either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering any herbal supplement while pregnant or nursing.
What side effects might I get from burdock?
Most people tolerate burdock well, especially when it's used as a food. Serious allergic reactions like severe rashes or anaphylaxis are rare. Contact dermatitis (a skin reaction) has been reported, sometimes days after use. There's also one reported case of liver injury, though it involved a tea with multiple herbs, so it's unclear if burdock was responsible.
Does burdock actually work for acne, eczema, or the common cold?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Burdock is marketed for these uses and has a long history of traditional use, but the clinical research backing these specific claims is insufficient to rate whether they're truly effective.
What exactly is in each capsule?
Each capsule contains 1,000 mg of organic burdock root. The capsule itself is made from plant-based material (vegan capsule)—there are no animal-derived ingredients.
Is burdock safe to use long-term?
Burdock is considered likely safe for short-term use in healthy adults, and it has a long history of traditional use with few reported problems. That said, human safety data for medicinal amounts over the long term are limited, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long you plan to take it.
