HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: Burdock Leaf Extract, Dry. The liquid is made up of glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 we hold does not establish that burdock is effective for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, or atopic dermatitis (eczema). Each of these uses has insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

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 food and for short-term use in otherwise healthy adults, though human safety data are limited. Serious allergic reactions—including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis—are rare but have been reported.

There is also one case report of liver injury in someone taking a multi-ingredient herbal tea that contained burdock, though it's unclear whether burdock was the culprit. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of human safety data and the possibility of effects on the uterus.

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.

If you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs—such as warfarin, apixaban, aspirin, or clopidogrel—double-check with your pharmacist before using this product. Burdock may theoretically increase bleeding risk with these medications.

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 has a long history of use with few reported problems, but modern safety research is sparse. It's best suited for short-term use in otherwise healthy adults.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, talk to your pharmacist before starting this product. Pregnant or breastfeeding?

Check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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.

No. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts of burdock during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and the possibility of effects on the uterus. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it.
