HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chickweed by Hawaii Pharm

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Chickweed extract. Chickweed has been used traditionally for various health purposes, though the research supporting those uses is limited.

The liquid also includes vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and artesian Hawaiian purified water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 supporting Chickweed for diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and weight management (obesity) is currently insufficient to rate. We don't have reliable data showing whether it works for any of these purposes.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about what the current research actually supports and whether it's right 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 extract is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety studies are limited. The main documented concern is that topical application has caused contact dermatitis (a local skin rash) in some people.

Because safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not well established, the safety data advises against use during both pregnancy and breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Chickweed by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Chickweed by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Chickweed. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chickweed 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing — they can help you weigh the pros and cons for your own health.
Does chickweed actually work for weight loss or cholesterol?
The evidence supporting chickweed for weight management and high cholesterol is insufficient to rate — in other words, we don't have reliable data showing whether it works. If you're considering it for either of those reasons, talk with your doctor about what the research actually supports.
What are the side effects?
Chickweed extract is generally well tolerated, though high-quality safety studies are limited. The main documented concern is that applying it topically (directly on skin) has caused contact dermatitis (a skin rash) in some people.
What is chickweed used for?
Chickweed has been used traditionally for various health purposes, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and weight management. However, the research supporting these uses is currently insufficient to say whether it actually works for any of them.
