Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

  • 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.

Pure Herbs Chickweed contains one active ingredient: chickweed aerial parts extract. The product has no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Chickweed's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: weight loss with diet and exercise.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chickweed is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold rates chickweed as having insufficient reliable evidence for diabetes, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and obesity. In other words, we don't yet have good data showing whether it works for these uses.

If you're thinking about it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about whether it's right for you.

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.

The safety data advises against chickweed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those times — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
