HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cao Guo by Herbal Terra
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Amomum tsaoko Fruit Extract, Dry, which is cardamom. The liquid form also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for cardamom in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, respiratory tract infections, diabetes, indigestion, epilepsy, and high cholesterol is insufficient to rate. We don't have reliable data showing it works for any of these uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cardamom in food amounts is generally well tolerated. At higher medicinal doses, safety data is thin — the concern is mainly with concentrated supplements or essential oils without medical oversight.
Mild skin inflammation has been reported by one trial participant who took it orally. One confectioner with frequent cardamom exposure developed chronic hand dermatitis confirmed by patch testing.
There is no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for this ingredient.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for cardamom in our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're curious about cardamom's traditional uses, food amounts are well tolerated. For medicinal doses like this supplement, the evidence for its benefits isn't established yet, and safety at higher levels isn't well studied.
Talk to your pharmacist about whether it fits your goals.
