HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chickweed 385 mg by Solaray

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.

Chickweed 385 mg contains one active ingredient: chickweed (also called stellaria media), a traditional herbal remedy. Each capsule delivers 385 mg of the herb.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inert outer shell.

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 Chickweed product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chickweed'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 chickweed isn't established in the data we hold. It's been studied for diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and weight management, but the research is not reliable enough to rate whether it works for any of these conditions.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist — they can tell you what the current research suggests for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chickweed

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.

Chickweed is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited. Topically, the extract has been reported to cause contact dermatitis (skin irritation) in some people.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding data are thin: the facts advise against it during pregnancy and lactation because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for chickweed. Even so, it's smart to mention any supplement you're thinking of taking to your doctor or pharmacist — they know your full medication list and can spot any concerns we might have missed.

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.

Chickweed 385 mg may appeal to someone interested in traditional herbal use, but the evidence for its benefits isn't solid, and safety data are limited. Because we know very little about its safety in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, those groups should steer clear unless their doctor says otherwise.

Chat with your own doctor or pharmacist about whether this product fits your health goals and whether it's right for you right now.

Chickweed 385 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Chickweed 385 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Chickweed 385 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chickweed 385 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 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you at this stage.
Does chickweed actually work for weight loss or high cholesterol?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. Chickweed has been studied for both, but the research we have is not reliable enough to rate whether it helps. Your doctor or pharmacist can give you a better sense of what evidence exists and whether it makes sense to try.
What are the side effects?
Chickweed is generally well tolerated for short-term use. When applied to the skin, the extract has been reported to cause contact dermatitis (skin irritation) in some people, but swallowed as a capsule, serious side effects aren't well documented — mainly because long-term safety data are limited.
Is there anything in this capsule besides chickweed?
The capsule shell is made from vegetable cellulose — an inert filler. That's it. No other additives are listed.
