HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Can-Sol by Pure Herbs

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,888 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Can-Sol contains three active ingredients in a proprietary blend: chaparral leaf extract, purple loosestrife aerial parts extract, and fragrant waterlily root extract. The product is liquid and has no inactive fillers listed.

Each of these plant extracts has a different history of use — chaparral has been used in folk medicine, as have the loosestrife and waterlily extracts — but the safety and effectiveness picture varies considerably among them.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: maintaining healthy intestinal flora.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gut flora balance, Intestinal health, Microbiome support, Digestive equilibrium.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that any of these ingredients work reliably for their proposed uses. Fragrant waterlily root extract has been studied for back pain, burns, cough, wound healing, and pressure ulcers, but the data are insufficient to rate whether it actually works.

No effectiveness ratings are on file for chaparral leaf extract or purple loosestrife aerial parts extract.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chaparral Purple Loosestrife White Lily

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 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chaparral carries serious safety concerns. It's been linked to liver toxicity — including jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, dark urine, nausea, diarrhea, weight loss, fever, and loss of appetite.

In severe cases, it has caused cirrhosis, acute liver failure, and the need for liver transplant. Chaparral is rated unsafe and should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Purple loosestrife and fragrant waterlily root extract have limited human safety data. Purple loosestrife is best avoided; waterlily may cause skin reactions, especially if used topically.

Both should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of reliable safety information.

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Chaparral.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 371 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Can-Sol if you use any drug that can harm the liver (hepatotoxic medications) — chaparral may add to that risk. No other drug interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check, but that absence isn't a guarantee none exist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product contains chaparral, an ingredient with a history of serious liver and kidney toxicity that outweighs its unproven benefits. If you're considering Can-Sol, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first — especially if you take any medication that affects your liver or kidneys.

The other two ingredients lack strong safety data as well.

Can-Sol by Pure Herbs: Common Questions

Does Can-Sol by Pure Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Can-Sol has a known interaction with 370 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Can-Sol contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 Can-Sol during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Chaparral is rated unsafe in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to toxicity concerns. The other two ingredients also lack reliable safety data during these periods. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What are the side effects of chaparral?
Chaparral can cause serious liver damage (hepatotoxicity), leading to jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, dark urine, nausea, diarrhea, weight loss, fever, and loss of appetite. In severe cases, it's caused cirrhosis and liver failure requiring transplant. It's also been linked to kidney damage.
Is Can-Sol proven to work?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that the ingredients work reliably for any purpose. Waterlily root extract has been studied for back pain, burns, cough, and wound healing, but the data are insufficient to say it actually works.
Are there any fillers or other inactive ingredients in Can-Sol?
No fillers or other inactive ingredients are listed for this product.
Why is chaparral included if it's so risky?
Chaparral has a history of use in folk medicine, but modern safety data show serious liver and kidney toxicity. The risks are substantial and well-documented — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
