HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chicory cum Stanno Complex by True Botanica

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Chicory Herb Extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (0.30 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid product contains two active ingredients: chicory and chicory herb extract. Both are forms of the same plant (Cichorium intybus), so they work the same way in your body.

The product also contains inactive ingredients—water, glycerin, apple cider vinegar, salts, trace minerals, potassium sorbate, and citric acid—which are fillers, preservatives, and flavoring agents.

Does it work?

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 Chicory product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chicory'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.

We don't have strong evidence that chicory works for any of the conditions listed in our data. It's been studied for neonatal jaundice, fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, indigestion, and high cholesterol, but in each case the evidence isn't reliable enough to rate it as effective or ineffective.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk to your pharmacist about what the actual research shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chicory

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.

Chicory is generally well tolerated at food amounts, but medicinal doses come with some caveats. The most common side effects are digestive—abdominal pain, belching, bloating, and gas.

Some people are allergic to chicory, especially those sensitive to the ragweed and daisy family of plants; reactions can range from a rash to, rarely, anaphylaxis. During pregnancy, the data advises against medicinal amounts because traditional sources suggest it may stimulate the uterus.

There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so avoid medicinal amounts if you're nursing.

Chicory cum Stanno Complex by True Botanica: Common Questions

Does Chicory cum Stanno Complex by True Botanica interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chicory cum Stanno Complex has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chicory cum Stanno Complex contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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?
During pregnancy, avoid medicinal amounts of chicory—traditional sources warn it may stimulate the uterus. If you're breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid medicinal amounts and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What does chicory actually do?
The evidence we hold on chicory isn't strong enough to say it's effective for anything. It's been studied for fatty liver disease, indigestion, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, and neonatal jaundice, but the results don't give us a clear answer.
Will this upset my stomach?
Gas, bloating, belching, and abdominal pain are the most common side effects. Chicory is generally well tolerated overall, but if you have a sensitive stomach, you might notice these digestive effects.
Could I be allergic to this?
If you're allergic to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds, or other plants in that family, you may react to chicory. Reactions can include rash, hives, or (very rarely) anaphylaxis. Stop using it and call your doctor if you notice any allergic symptoms.
