HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cand-E-Cleanse by Herbally Grounded

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

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 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Cand-E-Cleanse contains four active ingredients: myrrh gum, chaparral, olive, and pau d'arco — each selected for traditional cleansing purposes. The product also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient (a capsule filler).

Myrrh and pau d'arco have been used historically in herbal practice, while olive is familiar from food. Chaparral is a desert plant extract.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support body's natural balance and wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Gingivitis, Influenza, Intestinal parasite infection, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Olive is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Olive is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Influenza.
  • Also on file: Myrrh is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea, Gingivitis, Ulcerative colitis, Intestinal parasite infection, and more.

The evidence we hold doesn't support effectiveness claims for any condition this product might be marketed for. Myrrh shows insufficient evidence for back pain, cancer, colds, dental issues, and Crohn disease, and it's actually rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis.

Olive, pau d'arco, and chaparral all show insufficient evidence or no established ratings for their traditional uses. This is an important gap — you should talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether there's clinical support for what you're hoping this product will do.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh Chaparral Olive Pau D'arco

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

This product carries real safety red flags. Chaparral has been linked to severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver failure requiring transplant in multiple reported cases — the safety data advises against it altogether.

Myrrh may cause diarrhea at higher doses and is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, so it should be avoided in pregnancy. Pau d'arco may cause anemia and bleeding risk at higher doses, and should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Olive is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but the safety of concentrated supplements hasn't been well studied. One person in a trial reported skin problems after taking olive leaf extract.

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?
  • 3 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Myrrh, Pau D'arco, Chaparral.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 553 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 pharmacist before using this if you take any drug that affects the liver, blood thinners like warfarin or newer anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, or diabetes medications. Chaparral's liver toxicity poses the most serious risk.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is not a product we'd recommend without serious caution. Chaparral carries unacceptable liver toxicity risk, and the other ingredients present real interaction and safety concerns.

If you're considering it, talk with your pharmacist first — especially if you take any blood thinners, diabetes medication, or drugs that affect the liver. Pregnant or breastfeeding?

Avoid it; the data advises against it.

For each ingredient in Cand-E-Cleanse with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Chaparral1 drug type · 370 drugs

Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, chaparral might have additive adverse effects on the liver when used with hepatotoxic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Pau d'Arco1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, pau d'arco might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that pau d'arco reduces platelet aggregation and may interfere with vitamin K. One clinical study shows that taking the lapachol constituent of pau d'arco in doses above 1.5 grams daily increases the risk of bleeding. The effects of whole pau d'arco or pau d'arco extract in humans are unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Myrrh Gum2 drug types · 88 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, myrrh might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that myrrh has hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, myrrh might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin.
In one case, a patient who was previously stable on warfarin had a significant decline in international normalized ratio (INR) following consumption of an aqueous extract of myrrh.

Cand-E-Cleanse by Herbally Grounded: Common Questions

Does Cand-E-Cleanse by Herbally Grounded interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cand-E-Cleanse has a known interaction with 552 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cand-E-Cleanse contains 4 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.
What's chaparral, and why is it a concern?
Chaparral is a desert plant extract in this product. The safety data shows it's been linked to serious liver damage, including cases requiring liver transplant. It's marked as something to avoid altogether — the risks outweigh any possible benefit.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Myrrh is thought to stimulate the uterus, chaparral carries toxicity concerns, and pau d'arco lacks safety data for pregnancy and breastfeeding. The safety information advises against all three during these times.
Will this product actually work for what it claims?
The evidence we have doesn't establish that any of its ingredients work reliably for their traditional uses. The data shows insufficient evidence across the board — so there's no solid clinical support for its effectiveness.
What side effects might I experience?
Myrrh may cause diarrhea at higher doses. Pau d'arco at high doses may cause anemia, bleeding risk, severe nausea, and vomiting. Olive is generally well tolerated, though one trial participant reported skin problems. Chaparral can cause liver damage with symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, dark urine, and abdominal pain.
Is this safe to take with my blood thinner?
No — not without checking with your pharmacist first. Both myrrh and pau d'arco may interfere with blood thinners or increase bleeding risk, and your doctor needs to know before you add this product.
What about with diabetes medication?
Myrrh in this product may raise your low blood sugar risk when combined with diabetes drugs. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting it if you take any diabetes medication.
