HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Formula 326 by DC

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.

Formula 326 is a single-ingredient supplement containing pau d'arco, a tree bark traditionally used in herbal medicine. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, vegetable cellulose, and vegetable magnesium stearate—all inactive fillers and binders.

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 Pau D'arco product and its label doesn't state a use — see Pau D'arco'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 does not establish pau d'arco as effective for cancer, peptic ulcers, wound healing, or dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps). For each of these uses, the data rates the evidence as insufficient to make a reliable recommendation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pau D'arco

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.

Pau d'arco is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but human safety data is limited and side effects increase at higher doses. The lapachol in pau d'arco, when taken above 1.5 grams daily, may cause anemia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and increased bleeding risk.

Occupational exposure to pau d'arco sawdust can cause asthma, dermatitis, and severe skin reactions, though this is a concern mainly for workers handling the raw material. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to possible harm to the developing baby.

There isn't enough safety information to know whether it's okay while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Pau D'arco.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining Formula 326 with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs—that includes warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and similar medications. Pau d'arco may increase your bleeding risk, especially at higher doses.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Formula 326 is one to check before you start, especially if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications. The evidence doesn't establish it as effective for cancer, ulcers, wound healing, or period pain, and human safety data is limited.

Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine, particularly if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any blood-related medications.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, pau d'arco might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that pau d'arco reduces platelet aggregation and may interfere with vitamin K. One clinical study shows that taking the lapachol constituent of pau d'arco in doses above 1.5 grams daily increases the risk of bleeding. The effects of whole pau d'arco or pau d'arco extract in humans are unclear.
