HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock Extract by Herbadiet

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 16, 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 root extract. Burdock is a plant root that's been used traditionally in herbal medicine and as a food.

The extract comes in a vegetable cellulose capsule shell.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Burdock's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: liver detoxification and immunity support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Common cold, Hepatitis, immune function, detoxification.
  • The closest evidence on file: Burdock is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Burdock is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hepatitis.

The evidence we hold doesn't support burdock extract for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, or eczema — all these uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean burdock doesn't work for these conditions; it means the research backing those claims isn't established in our data.

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 healthy adults, though human safety data are limited. Serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare but possible.

Contact dermatitis has been reported, especially with prolonged use of burdock root oil or plasters. One case of liver injury was reported in someone taking a multi-ingredient herbal tea containing burdock, though it's unclear whether burdock alone was the culprit.

Do not take medicinal amounts during pregnancy — safety data are lacking and burdock may affect the uterus. Avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding as well; there isn't enough 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.

If you take blood thinners (like warfarin) or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel), check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product — burdock may increase bleeding risk. Altogether, these interactions span 122 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Burdock extract is historically well used and generally well tolerated in short-term use, but its effectiveness for common skin and health conditions hasn't been proven in reliable studies. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Burdock Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Burdock Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Burdock Extract 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 Extract 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 Herbadiet Burdock Extract if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. If you're pregnant or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend medicinal use of burdock while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does burdock extract actually work for acne or eczema?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does. Both acne and eczema are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence, so we can't say burdock is proven effective for either condition.
What are the side effects?
Burdock is well tolerated as food and in short-term use. Rare serious side effects include allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Contact dermatitis has been reported, especially with prolonged use of burdock root oil or plasters. One case of liver injury was reported with a multi-ingredient herbal tea, though it's unclear if burdock was responsible.
Is burdock the same as what I eat in food?
Burdock root is used in cooking and is considered a food, but this product is a concentrated extract in medicinal doses — higher than what you'd typically eat. The safety profile differs between food amounts and medicinal extract.
