HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Deep Roots by Red Moon Herbs

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Deep Roots is a liquid supplement containing three active ingredients. Dandelion and burdock are herbal roots traditionally used in various wellness practices, while yellow dock is another root herb.

The product also contains water and alcohol as inactive ingredients.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence on file doesn't establish how well these ingredients work for the purposes they're used for. Dandelion has been studied for joint pain, throat inflammation (tonsillitis), and postoperative swelling and pain, but the data show insufficient evidence to rate it.

Burdock has been studied for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and eczema, but again the evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation. Yellow dock has no effectiveness ratings on file.

This doesn't mean the product won't help — just that the research we hold doesn't yet support claims about how well it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dandelion Burdock Yellow Dock

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Dandelion is generally well tolerated when used as a food, though supplement-strength doses are less studied and may cause allergy, diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort in some people. Rare serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported, particularly in people sensitive to the ragweed and daisy plant family.

Burdock is likely safe as a food and for short-term use in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited; it can cause allergic reactions and contact dermatitis, especially with prolonged skin contact. Yellow dock acts as a laxative and contains oxalates; it should be used short-term and with care.

Raw leaves or rhizomes can cause serious problems like low blood calcium (hypocalcemia), kidney stones, and vomiting. There is not enough reliable information on the safety of any of these ingredients while breastfeeding, so caution is advised.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dandelion Burdock Yellow Dock

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Burdock, Yellow Dock, Dandelion.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 520 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before adding this product if you take digoxin or warfarin (a blood thinner) — yellow dock poses Major-severity risks to both. Also watch out if you're on diuretics (water pills), as yellow dock can cause dangerous potassium loss and digoxin toxicity.

Dandelion and burdock interact at Moderate severity with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs; dandelion also affects diabetes medications, diuretics, lithium, certain antibiotics (quinolones), and drugs processed by your liver (CYP1A2 substrates). Use the medication search tool on this page to check your exact drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product interacts with heart medications, blood thinners, water pills, diabetes drugs, and several other medication classes — you really do need to check your prescriptions before starting it. If you take any of those types of drugs or have a history of bleeding disorders, talk to your pharmacist first.

Even if you're not on medications, these herbs aren't well studied at supplement strength, so a conversation with your healthcare provider makes sense.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Deep Roots with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Dandelion7 drug types · 457 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Dandelion full monograph & interactions

Burdock1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking burdock with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.

In vitro research shows that lignans from burdock reduce rabbit platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet activating factor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Burdock full monograph & interactions

Yellow Dock3 drug types · 78 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity when used long-term or in large amount.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur. This might increase the toxic effects of digoxin.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretics.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur, and overuse of yellow dock might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, the laxative effects of yellow dock might increase the effects of warfarin, including the risk of bleeding.
The anthraquinones in yellow dock have a mild stimulant laxative effect. Consuming excessive amounts can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding.

Deep Roots by Red Moon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Deep Roots by Red Moon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Deep Roots has a known interaction with 520 medications, including 76 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Deep Roots contains 3 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 Deep Roots while I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information on any of these three ingredients while breastfeeding. Yellow dock's laxative compounds may pass into breast milk, so it should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use — they can help you decide what's right for you and your baby.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common side effects from dandelion are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Burdock is well tolerated when eaten as food, though allergic reactions and contact dermatitis are possible in sensitive people. Yellow dock acts as a laxative and may cause dermatitis. Rare but serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported with dandelion and burdock.
Does this product actually work for what it's supposed to treat?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well these ingredients work. Dandelion and burdock have been studied for various conditions — joint pain, inflammation, skin issues, colds — but the research shows insufficient evidence to rate their effectiveness. That doesn't mean they won't help, just that we don't have solid proof yet.
Is it safe to use yellow dock long-term?
Yellow dock should be used short-term and with care because it acts as a laxative and contains oxalates. Long-term or large-dose use can cause potassium loss and other problems. Raw leaves or rhizomes are unsafe and can cause low blood calcium, kidney stones, and vomiting, so avoid them.
Is this product safe if I have a plant allergy?
Dandelion and burdock belong to the ragweed and daisy plant family — if you're allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies, or marigolds, you may react to these herbs. Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported. If you have known plant allergies, check with your pharmacist before starting.
Can I take this during pregnancy?
Burdock should be avoided during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Yellow dock should also be avoided because of its laxative effect and insufficient safety information. There isn't enough data on dandelion in pregnancy either. Talk with your doctor before use if you are pregnant.
