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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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
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.
