Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 10 of its 10 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

E-Shred contains 10 active ingredients. The formula centers on three hormone-related compounds: indole-3-carbinol and diindolylmethane (both cruciferous vegetable extracts with proposed estrogen-modulating effects), and arimistane (an aromatase inhibitor—an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen).

It also includes juniper berry, buchu leaf, dandelion root, bearberry (uva ursi), and hu zhang (polygonum cuspidatum, a plant containing resveratrol). Two additional actives—acacetin and white button mushroom extract—are included; we hold no interaction data for these two.

The capsule contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and food dyes (FD&C Yellow #6, Red #40, and Blue #1).

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 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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: hormonal balance and estrogen support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Breast cancer, Cervical dysplasia, Menopausal symptoms, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Prostate cancer, hormone metabolism — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Juniper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Indole-3-carbinol is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Breast cancer, Cervical dysplasia.
  • Also on file: Diindolylmethane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Breast cancer, Cervical dysplasia, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Prostate cancer.

The evidence for E-Shred's active ingredients is limited. Indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane, arimistane, dandelion, bearberry, and hu zhang all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate their effectiveness for their proposed uses—which include cancer prevention, athletic performance, muscle strength, erectile function, and various other conditions.

None of the checked ingredients in this product have established effectiveness in our data. Bearberry is rated possibly ineffective for urinary tract infections.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Indole-3-carbinol Juniper Arimistane Diindolylmethane Buchu Dandelion Uva Ursi Hu Zhang

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 5 of the 8 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 8 of 8.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 8 of 8.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Indole-3-carbinol is generally well tolerated but may cause diarrhea, nausea, imbalance, tremor, rash, and unsteadiness—especially at higher doses; one case reported imbalance and tremor when taken at 800 mg daily. Diindolylmethane is generally well tolerated orally but can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gas, headache, and rash; a rare serious effect (DRESS syndrome) has been reported.

Juniper, buchu, dandelion, bearberry, and hu zhang are generally well tolerated short-term but lack robust long-term safety data; juniper, buchu, and dandelion can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Bearberry at very high doses (20+ grams) may cause serious toxicity including convulsions, delirium, and shortness of breath.

Pregnancy and lactation: Arimistane is possibly unsafe in pregnancy because lowering estrogen during pregnancy could be harmful—do not use. Juniper and buchu are unsafe in pregnancy due to potential uterine effects.

Bearberry is likely unsafe in pregnancy for the same reason. Indole-3-carbinol and diindolylmethane are not recommended while breastfeeding.

Dandelion and hu zhang show insufficient safety data in pregnancy and lactation; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 8 of the 8 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Buchu, Uva Ursi, Dandelion, Juniper, Indole-3-carbinol, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,218 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.

Before taking E-Shred, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or heparin)—moderate bleeding risk. Also double-check any estrogen therapy or hormone replacement, diabetes medications, lithium, or liver enzyme–metabolized drugs (including certain antidepressants, heart medications, and cholesterol drugs).

Tell them about any water pills (diuretics), especially potassium-sparing types, and the seizure medication carbamazepine. No interactions are documented for acacetin or white button mushroom extract, as we hold no data for these ingredients.

Polygonum cuspidatum7 drug types · 826 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. Resveratrol seems to have antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2C19 enzyme. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP2E1 enzyme. Also, a pharmacokinetic study shows that taking resveratrol 500 mg daily for 10 days prior to taking a single dose of chlorzoxazone 250 mg increases the maximum concentration of chlorzoxazone by about 54%, the area under the curve of chlorzoxazone by about 72%, and the half-life of chlorzoxazone by about 35%. Chlorzoxazone is used as a probe drug for CYP2E1.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Hu zhang contains the constituent resveratrol. In vitro research shows that resveratrol might inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme. However, a clinical study in adults with NAFLD found that adding resveratrol 3000 mg daily for 8 weeks did not necessitate dose adjustments to any established medications metabolized by CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, hu zhang might competitively inhibit the effects of estrogen replacement therapy.
In vitro research shows that hu zhang might have estrogenic activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, hu zhang might increase the effects and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
In animals, blood and tissue levels of carbamazepine were increased when given in combination with hu zhang. It is thought that increased levels of carbamazepine are due to cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibition. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Polygonum cuspidatum full monograph & interactions

Bearberry6 drug types · 803 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit cytochrome CYP2C19. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase levels of drugs metabolized by glucuronidation.
In vitro, uva ursi extract appears to strongly inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1). However, uva ursi extract does not appear to inhibit UGT1A1 in animal models. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase lithium levels, necessitating a decrease in dose.
Uva ursi may have diuretic properties. Diuretics may increase lithium reabsorption with sodium in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Theoretically, uva ursi might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Urinary Acidifying Agents

Effects of uva ursi in the urinary tract may be reduced by urinary acidifying agents.
Uva ursi seems to work best in alkaline urine. Theoretically, taking uva ursi with medications known to acidify the urine may decrease any effects of uva ursi on the urinary tract.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may alter the levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Bearberry full monograph & interactions

Buchu3 drug types · 481 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Buchu may have antiplatelet effects. Theoretically, buchu may enhance the effects of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs and increase the risk of bleeding in some patients. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Buchu contains pulegone, a known hepatotoxin. There is some concern that buchu may adversely affect the liver, especially when the leaf is used in large doses or the oil is ingested. Theoretically, concomitant use with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (Tricor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo)

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Buchu is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, buchu might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Buchu full monograph & interactions

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.

Aromatase Inhibitors

It is believed that Arimistane inhibits the aromatase enzyme, which may interact with other aromatase inhibitors. This interaction could potentially increase the risk of side effects associated with low estrogen levels or from additive side effects, such as an increased risk of liver toxicity. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before combining Arimistane with other aromatase inhibitors to assess the potential risks and benefits.

E-Shred by Anabolic Warfare: Common Questions

Does E-Shred by Anabolic Warfare interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, E-Shred has a known interaction with 1,217 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
E-Shred contains 10 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 E-Shred while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Arimistane is possibly unsafe in pregnancy because it lowers estrogen, which could harm the fetus. Juniper and bearberry are considered unsafe during pregnancy due to uterine effects. Indole-3-carbinol and diindolylmethane should be avoided while breastfeeding. For dandelion and hu zhang, there isn't enough safety data either way—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance specific to your situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Indole-3-carbinol commonly causes diarrhea, nausea, rash, imbalance, tremor, and unsteadiness. Diindolylmethane may cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gas, and headache. Juniper, buchu, dandelion, and bearberry can cause diarrhea and stomach upset. These are generally mild, but if imbalance or tremor develops, especially at higher doses, lower your dose or stop and contact your pharmacist.
Does this product actually work?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate all of the main active ingredients—indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane, arimistane, dandelion, bearberry, and hu zhang. None of them have established effectiveness in our data for athletic performance, muscle, body composition, or any of their proposed uses.
What is arimistane and why is it in this product?
Arimistane (also called androst-3,5-dien-7,17-dione) is a hormone-altering compound meant to inhibit aromatase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. It is included in formulas aimed at male athletic performance and muscle-building, though evidence for its effectiveness is insufficient. Regulators warn against aromatase inhibitor supplements because of safety concerns.
Can this interact with my birth control pills?
Possibly. Indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane, and hu zhang all interact with estrogens and may reduce the effects of estrogen-based contraceptives. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about this product before starting it if you take oral contraceptives.
Is there anything in this product I should be cautious about if I have kidney or liver problems?
Yes. Buchu contains pulegone, a known liver toxin, and may cause liver damage especially at high doses or with long-term use. Bearberry can be toxic at high doses. Arimistane carries a risk of liver toxicity if combined with other aromatase inhibitors. If you have liver or kidney disease, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
