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

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 fruit extract in dry form. Burdock is a root vegetable used traditionally in Asian and Western herbal medicine, and this liquid extract is preserved with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients — no alcohol, which some people prefer to avoid.

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 doesn't establish that burdock works for the uses listed here — acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and atopic dermatitis (eczema). All are rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate, meaning human trial data are either absent or too limited to draw firm conclusions.

You shouldn't assume the product is ineffective, only that proof in humans hasn't been established in the data we track.

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 or used short-term in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited. Rare serious allergic reactions including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis have been reported.

One case of liver injury was documented in someone taking a multi-ingredient liver detox tea containing burdock, though it's unclear whether burdock or another ingredient was responsible. Contact dermatitis has occurred after prolonged use of burdock root oil or plasters, sometimes appearing up to a week after application.

Don't take medicinal amounts during pregnancy — safety data are too sparse and there's a theoretical risk to the uterus. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough information, so skip medicinal use and talk to your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.

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.

Check your blood thinner or antiplatelet drugs before starting — burdock may theoretically increase bleeding risk with warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, aspirin, and similar medications. Altogether, these interactions span 122 individual 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 long historical use as food with few noted side effects, and it's a single-ingredient product. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check this product with your pharmacist first — that's the key caution.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking it medicinally.

Burdock Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Burdock Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Burdock Alcohol Free 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 Alcohol Free 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 this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking first. Burdock may theoretically increase bleeding risk with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor — they can review your exact medication and decide if it's safe for you.
Will burdock help my acne or eczema?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. All the skin and health conditions listed on the label are rated insufficient evidence, so human trial data aren't established in our data.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No — the safety data are too limited and there's a theoretical risk to the uterus. Skip medicinal use during pregnancy and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information, so avoid medicinal use. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor to decide whether it's right for you in your situation.
Does this have alcohol in it?
No — it's alcohol-free. The liquid is preserved with glycerin and water instead.
Are there side effects I should know about?
Burdock is well tolerated overall, but rare allergic reactions including serious anaphylaxis have been reported. Contact dermatitis can occur, especially after prolonged skin use. One case of liver injury was reported in someone taking a multi-ingredient detox product containing burdock, though it's unclear if burdock was the cause.
