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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Eastern Red Cedar Chip Extract, Dry. It's a concentrated form of the compounds found in eastern red cedar wood, traditionally used for aroma and topical purposes.

The liquid form also contains glycerin and water 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

This is a single-ingredient Eastern Red Cedar product and its label doesn't state a use — see Eastern Red Cedar'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 Eastern Red Cedar in our data, so the evidence for what it does isn't established here. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eastern Red Cedar

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.

Eastern Red Cedar oil is generally well tolerated when used topically or for aroma. However, if swallowed in large amounts, it can cause stomach burning, vomiting, and in severe overdose, more serious effects.

Topically, a small number of people may have allergic reactions or irritation, though clinical safety studies show it doesn't usually cause skin sensitization. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because cedar oils may be irritating and safety hasn't been established.

There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Eastern Red Cedar.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 49 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.

If you take barbiturates (sedative medications like pentobarbital), double-check with your pharmacist before adding this product — the cedar compounds may speed up how your liver clears the drug.

Barbiturates

In mice and rats given hexobarbital or pentobarbital, sleep time is reduced and metabolism of the drug is increased when they inhale essential oil vapor from Eastern red cedar wood chips in their bedding. Cedrol and cedrene in the essential oil are reported to induce liver microsomal enzymes. Theoretically, inhaling Eastern red cedar wood fragrance might reduce the efficacy of hexobarbital or pentobarbital in humans.
