HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elecampane Root Chocolate Flavor 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.

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 is a single-ingredient product: elecampane root glycerite liquid extract in a chocolate-flavored base. Glycerin and chocolate flavor are inactive ingredients that give it taste and texture.

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 Elecampane product and its label doesn't state a use — see Elecampane'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.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that elecampane is effective for acne or cough — the data shows insufficient reliable evidence for both uses. If you're considering it for another reason, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

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.

Elecampane is generally well tolerated in small amounts, like in tea or tinctures, but it can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people. At higher doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and spasms.

If you're allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies, or other plants in the same family, you may have a reaction to elecampane. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
