HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock Root 425 mg by Herbal Secrets

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: burdock root, at 425 mg per capsule. Burdock has a long history of use in herbal medicine, though modern evidence for specific health claims is limited.

The capsule itself is made with gelatin and magnesium stearate, which are standard 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 doesn't establish that burdock works for any of the conditions listed — acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and atopic dermatitis (eczema) all carry a rating of Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate. That means the science isn't robust enough yet to say whether it helps or doesn't.

If you're considering it for one of these uses, talk it over with your doctor about whether it makes sense for you.

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 contact dermatitis and rarely anaphylaxis — have been reported, and one case of liver injury has been documented (though it's unclear whether burdock or other ingredients in that herbal tea caused it).

Contact dermatitis from burdock root oil or plasters has also been noted, sometimes appearing up to a week after use. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of safety information and possible 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.

Before you take this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, and similar medications. Burdock may theoretically increase bleeding risk with these drugs (Moderate severity).

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 appeal to you if you're exploring traditional herbal remedies, but the evidence for specific health benefits isn't established yet. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? The safety data recommend avoiding it.

Talk with your own healthcare provider about whether this supplement fits your situation.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Burdock Root 425 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?
No, the safety data advise against medicinal amounts during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take burdock while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend medicinal use while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is burdock safe to take long-term?
The evidence supports burdock as likely safe when eaten as food and for short-term use in healthy adults, but human safety data are limited for long-term medicinal use. If you're thinking of taking it ongoing, talk it over with your healthcare provider.
Does burdock actually work for acne or eczema?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does — both conditions have an Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate. Your doctor can discuss whether trying it makes sense for you.
What's in this supplement besides burdock?
The capsule is made with gelatin and magnesium stearate, which are standard inactive ingredients that hold the burdock together.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Burdock is generally well tolerated, but allergic reactions — including contact dermatitis — have been reported, and rarely anaphylaxis. One case of liver injury was documented after use of a multi-ingredient herbal tea containing burdock, though it's unclear what caused it. If you develop a rash or have any unusual symptoms, stop and talk to your doctor.
