HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock Root 2,000 mg Alcohol-Free by Nature's Answer

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 at 2,000 mg per dose. Burdock is a root vegetable used in traditional medicine and cooking.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin and purified water, which keep the liquid stable and palatable.

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 have for burdock's effectiveness isn't established yet. The product's ingredient has been studied for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and atopic dermatitis (eczema), but all those uses show insufficient reliable evidence to rate them.

That doesn't mean burdock doesn't work—it means the research so far isn't robust enough to confirm whether it does.

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. The most common experience is trouble-free.

Rare serious side effects include allergic reactions ranging from contact dermatitis (itchy rash on skin) to anaphylaxis (a severe whole-body reaction). One case of liver injury was reported after a month of a multi-ingredient liver detox tea containing burdock, but it's unclear whether burdock itself was to blame or another ingredient.

During pregnancy, medicinal amounts of burdock should be avoided due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so avoid medicinal use.

If you're pregnant or nursing and interested in burdock, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

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 anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs—blood thinners like warfarin, apixaban, or aspirin—check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. The interaction is Moderate, meaning it could theoretically raise your bleeding risk, though it hasn't been seen in real patients yet.

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 Root may interest someone looking for traditional herbal support, though we don't yet have solid evidence for the uses it's been studied for. If you take blood thinners, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—that's the main interaction concern.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also times to confirm safety with your own healthcare provider.

Burdock Root 2,000 mg Alcohol-Free by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Burdock Root 2,000 mg Alcohol-Free by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Burdock Root 2,000 mg 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 Root 2,000 mg 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.
Is burdock root safe if I take a blood thinner?
Lab research suggests burdock compounds might affect how your blood clots, which could be a concern with blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin. This hasn't been reported in actual patients, but it's theoretically possible. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—medicinal amounts of burdock should be avoided during pregnancy because of possible effects on the uterus and lack of safety data. If you're breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information either. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and want to use burdock.
What does burdock root actually do?
Burdock has been studied for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and eczema, but the evidence isn't strong enough to confirm it works for any of these uses yet. It's been used in food and traditional medicine for a long time without major problems.
Are there any side effects?
Most people tolerate burdock well when used short-term. Rare serious reactions include allergic responses and skin rashes (contact dermatitis). One case of liver injury was reported, but it's unclear if burdock alone was responsible or other ingredients in that formula were involved.
Is this just a food, or is it a supplement?
This is a supplement—a concentrated extract, not burdock you'd eat as a vegetable. As a food burdock is very safe, but medicinal concentrations have limited safety testing in humans, so treat this differently than eating burdock root in your dinner.
