HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Burdock Root Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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 11, 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 1,000 mg per serving. Burdock is a root vegetable used traditionally in cooking and herbal medicine.

The powder also includes dextrin, an inactive ingredient used as a filler.

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 for burdock root extract isn't established yet. The data we hold rates it insufficient for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and atopic dermatitis (eczema).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say one way or the other. If you're considering it for any of these uses, chat with us or your doctor about what the current science actually supports.

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. As a medicinal supplement taken short-term in healthy adults, it appears likely safe, though human safety data are limited.

Avoid medicinal amounts during pregnancy — there isn't enough data to know it's safe, and burdock may affect the uterus. Skip it while breastfeeding too, since safety information is lacking for that situation.

Rare serious adverse effects include allergic reactions (including severe ones like anaphylaxis) and contact dermatitis, especially with prolonged use of burdock oil or root plasters applied to skin. One case of liver injury was reported in someone taking a detox tea with burdock and other ingredients, but it's unclear whether burdock was responsible.

A small number of people developed itchy, blistering skin reactions where burdock plasters were applied.

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, double-check if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity). These medications prevent clotting, and burdock theoretically could raise your bleeding risk when combined.

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 extract is generally well tolerated and has traditional use behind it, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't strong yet. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with us first — this product could theoretically increase bleeding risk.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Burdock Root Extract Powder 1000 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 this while pregnant?
No — the safety data advise against medicinal amounts of burdock during pregnancy due to lack of safety information and possible effects on the uterus. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
Is burdock safe to use long-term?
The data we have are mostly for short-term use in healthy adults, where it appears likely safe. Long-term safety isn't well established, so check with your pharmacist if you're thinking of using it regularly.
What are the side effects?
When eaten as food, burdock is well tolerated with few reported problems. Rare serious effects include allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Contact dermatitis can happen, especially with prolonged use of burdock oil or skin plasters. One case of liver injury was reported, though it's unclear if burdock was the cause.
Does this actually work for acne or eczema?
The evidence isn't established yet. We don't have reliable data showing it works for acne, eczema, or the other uses listed — that doesn't mean it doesn't, just that the research hasn't been strong enough to confirm it.
Is there anything else in this powder besides burdock?
Yes — it also contains dextrin, an inactive ingredient used as a filler to make the powder.
