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 Cnidium product and its label doesn't state a use — see Cnidium'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 hold no effectiveness ratings for Cnidium Fruit Extract in our data, so we cannot tell you whether it works for any particular purpose. You'd want to discuss what this supplement is intended to do with your pharmacist or doctor and ask what evidence supports that claim.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Human safety data for cnidium are limited, so caution and professional oversight are advised. The safety notes advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in those situations.

We have no documented adverse effects from trial data on file.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Cnidium Extract is a single-ingredient botanical with laboratory evidence of sedative and blood-thinning activity, but limited human safety information. If you take any central nervous system depressants (sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs) or blood thinners, you'll need to check your medications carefully before adding this.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Laboratory research shows that osthol, a constituent of cnidium, inhibits blood clotting and the activity of platelets. Theoretically, cnidium might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

In laboratory research, cnidium has been shown to have sedative and hypnotic effects, possibly related to constituent coumarins. Theoretically, cnidium may potentiate the effects of barbiturates, other sedatives, and anxiolytics.

Cnidium Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Cnidium Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cnidium Extract has a known interaction with 351 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cnidium Extract 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 Cnidium Extract if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're planning pregnancy or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering this product.
What does Cnidium Extract do?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for this ingredient, so we can't tell you what it's meant to treat or support. Ask your pharmacist or the product manufacturer what the intended use is and what evidence backs it.
Does this product contain any fillers or other inactive ingredients?
No — this is a straight powder with one active ingredient and no inactive fillers or binders listed.
Why should I be careful about taking this with my blood thinner?
Cnidium contains a compound called osthol that can thin the blood and slow clotting in lab research. Combined with your medication, that could increase your risk of bleeding, which is why we flag it as Moderate severity.
Is Cnidium Extract safe?
Human safety data are limited, so we don't have enough real-world evidence to say it's safe across the board. The lab findings on sedation and blood thinning are noteworthy — work with your pharmacist to decide if it's appropriate for you.
