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 powder contains one active ingredient: eyebright aerial parts extract. Eyebright is a plant used in herbal medicine, traditionally applied to eye and respiratory complaints.

The product has no added inactive ingredients listed.

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 support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Asthenopia (eye strain), Conjunctivitis, Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), ocular irritation, redness, eye discomfort.
  • 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 Asthenopia (eye strain), Conjunctivitis.

The evidence for eyebright is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), common cold, cough, pharyngitis, rhinosinusitis, and cancer.

In other words, while eyebright has a long history of use, we don't yet have solid clinical trial data showing it works for these purposes. Talk with your doctor if you're considering it for a specific condition.

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 is likely safe in small amounts taken as a tea. However, don't use homemade or non-sterile preparations directly in your eye—that's risky.

Oral side effects reported in some people include confusion, headache, nausea, constipation, cough, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion. Safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not established, so eyebright is best avoided in both.

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