HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dandelion and Burdock Root by TerraVita
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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product contains 2 active ingredients: burdock root and dandelion root, both in glycerite liquid extract form. These are prepared as concentrated plant extracts meant to deliver their active compounds in a liquid base.
The product also contains glycerin as an inactive ingredient — a common carrier and preservative in liquid herbal supplements.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that either ingredient works for any particular condition. Burdock root has insufficient reliable evidence for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and eczema.
Dandelion root similarly lacks established evidence for joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, and postoperative pain. Neither ingredient has an effectiveness rating supported by the data we've reviewed.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both ingredients are generally well tolerated when used as food or in short-term supplement doses in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited. Burdock is well tolerated orally, but serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare, and contact dermatitis has been reported, particularly after prolonged use.
One case of liver injury was documented, though it's unclear whether burdock alone was responsible. Dandelion is also generally well tolerated, with diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort being the most common side effects; allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are rare but possible, especially in people sensitive to the daisy family (ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds).
For pregnancy, the safety data advises against medicinal amounts of burdock due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Dandelion safety in pregnancy is not well established — there isn't enough reliable information to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Similarly, both ingredients lack sufficient safety data for breastfeeding, so caution is advised and your own healthcare provider should weigh in.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), CYP1A2 substrates, potassium-sparing diuretics, diabetes medications, glucuronidated drugs, lithium, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics. All of these interactions are documented as moderate-severity.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is best avoided if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, potassium-sparing diuretics, lithium, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics without first checking with your doctor or pharmacist. Neither ingredient has established evidence for the conditions it's traditionally used for.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data don't support use — talk with your own healthcare provider before considering it.

Dandelion and Burdock Root by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita's Dandelion and Burdock Root contains two active ingredients, and both carry documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is with dandelion root and blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs), a moderate-severity interaction — dandelion may increase bleeding risk by inhibiting platelet aggregation, though this hasn't been reported in humans yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Dandelion root also interacts moderately with several other drug types: it may raise levels of drugs broken down by the CYP1A2 liver enzyme; it could trigger dangerously high potassium (hyperkalemia) when combined with potassium-sparing diuretics; it might lower blood sugar too far with diabetes medications; it may speed the clearance of glucuronidated drugs, making them less effective; it could increase lithium levels through diuretic effects; and it may reduce antibiotic levels (particularly fluoroquinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin), potentially lowering their effectiveness.
Burdock root carries a moderate interaction with blood thinners as well — lab studies suggest it may reduce platelet clumping, theoretically raising bleeding risk, although this too hasn't been reported in humans.
Altogether, these interactions span 457 individual medications. Before you start this product, check your exact medications with the tool on this page or talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Dandelion and Burdock Root with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dandelion & Burdock Root Glycerite Liquid Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.
Glucuronidated Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.
Lithium
Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.
