HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock Root (Certified Organic) 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 root at 450 mg per capsule. Burdock is the taproot of a plant that's been used traditionally in food and herbal medicine.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water — these are inert ingredients that hold the burdock powder.

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 burdock as effective for any of the conditions listed here — acne, aging skin, breast cancer, colds, or eczema all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies aren't there yet to say one way or the other.

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 it has a long history of use with few reported problems. However, human safety data for medicinal use are limited.

You should avoid medicinal amounts during pregnancy — the safety data aren't there and there's concern it could affect the uterus. The same goes for breastfeeding: avoid medicinal use because there isn't enough information.

Rare allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis, have been reported. A single case of liver damage was reported in someone taking a herbal detox tea that contained burdock along with other ingredients, though it's unclear whether burdock itself was the cause.

Contact dermatitis from burdock root oil has occurred, especially with prolonged use or burdock plasters.

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 any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, dabigatran, aspirin, or clopidogrel), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding burdock root — there's a moderate theoretical risk it could increase bleeding. 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 root may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't established yet. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — there's a theoretical bleeding risk.

Because medicinal safety data are limited and pregnancy and breastfeeding carry specific cautions, check with your own healthcare provider about whether this product is right for you.

Burdock Root (Certified Organic) 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Burdock Root (Certified Organic) 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Burdock Root (Certified Organic) 450 mg 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 (Certified Organic) 450 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.
Is burdock root safe to take every day?
When used as food, burdock is well tolerated. For medicinal use, human safety data are limited, so we don't have enough information to say daily use is clearly safe long-term. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long and how often it's right for you to take it.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against medicinal amounts during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since there isn't enough safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Does burdock actually work for acne or eczema?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does. Both acne and eczema are rated as insufficient reliable evidence, which means the studies aren't there to confirm whether burdock helps with these conditions.
What are the side effects?
When eaten as food, burdock causes few problems. Rare allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis, have been reported. Contact dermatitis from burdock root oil is more common with prolonged use. One case of liver damage was reported, but it's unclear whether burdock alone was the cause.
What is burdock root used for?
Burdock is the taproot of a plant used traditionally in food and herbal medicine. This product lists it for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, colds, and eczema, but the evidence doesn't currently establish it works for any of these.
