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.

Herbadiet Eyebright Extract is a one-ingredient capsule containing eyebright extract, a botanical derived from the eyebright plant. The capsule shell itself is made of vegetable cellulose, an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Not established
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 — see Eyebright's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: eye health and respiratory support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Conjunctivitis, Asthenopia (eye strain), Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Blepharitis, eye irritation, nasal congestion.
  • The closest evidence on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Eyebright is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Blepharitis, Asthenopia (eye strain), Conjunctivitis.

The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate eyebright extract for the uses it's commonly marketed for — hay fever, colds, cough, sore throat, sinus inflammation, and cancer. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means rigorous trials haven't yet established whether it does.

If you're considering it for one of these concerns, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current evidence supports a trial.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Eyebright

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.

Eyebright extract taken by mouth has been reported to cause confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion in some people. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Applying homemade or non-sterile eyebright directly to the eye carries risk and is not recommended.

Why this rating?

  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Eyebright Extract has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Eyebright Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 use eyebright extract if I take diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Eyebright may lower your blood sugar further, raising the risk of dangerous low blood sugar. Before you start, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific diabetes medication and whether this supplement is okay for you.
Is eyebright extract safe to use during pregnancy?
No, the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for your baby, so it's best to avoid it while pregnant. Talk with your doctor if you're thinking about taking it.
Can I take eyebright extract while breastfeeding?
No, avoid it while breastfeeding. There isn't enough safety information to know whether it would affect your nursing baby. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.

When taken by mouth, some people have reported confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion. If you notice any of these after taking it, stop and talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
Does eyebright extract actually work for hay fever or colds?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate it for hay fever, colds, cough, sore throat, sinus inflammation, or cancer. That means rigorous trials haven't yet proven whether it helps. Your doctor can discuss whether it's worth trying based on your situation.
