HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chickweed 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.

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 (Stellaria media) dried above-ground parts in liquid extract form. The liquid form makes it easy to dose and absorb.

There is also menstruum, an inactive ingredient used as a solvent in the liquid preparation.

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 yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), or weight management (obesity).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the clinical trials so far haven't been robust enough to say for sure. If you're interested in it for one of these uses, talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for you alongside your current plan.

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. When applied to skin, chickweed extract has been reported to cause contact dermatitis in some people.

The safety data for pregnancy advise against use during pregnancy, and because safety while breastfeeding is unknown, avoiding it during breastfeeding is the safer choice. If you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Chickweed by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Chickweed by Herbal Terra 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 chickweed if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advise against it during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or trying to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Is it safe to take chickweed while breastfeeding?
Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoidance is the safer choice. If you're breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.
Does chickweed actually work for weight loss or high cholesterol?
The evidence isn't established yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate chickweed for weight management or high cholesterol, so we can't say whether it works for those purposes.
Can chickweed cause skin reactions?
When applied to skin, chickweed extract has been reported to cause contact dermatitis in some people. If you notice a rash or irritation after topical use, stop and talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
How long is it safe to take chickweed?
Chickweed is generally considered low-risk for short-term use, but high-quality safety data for longer-term use are limited. If you plan to use it for more than a few weeks, ask your pharmacist about what's known and what isn't.
