HelloPharmacist Scorecard of GB-3 by Endo-met Laboratories

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

GB-3 contains 3 active ingredients. Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme blend that helps break down food.

Black radish extract is derived from radish root, traditionally used for biliary and digestive support. Cholic acid is a bile acid that aids fat digestion and absorption.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium vegetable stearate, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, and a film coating — which help hold the tablet together and make it easier to swallow.

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 Radish's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: liver and gallbladder health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Biliary disorders, hepatic function, bile flow, cholecystitis.
  • The closest evidence on file: Radish is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Biliary disorders (Natural Medicines).

The effectiveness evidence for GB-3's ingredients is limited. Black radish extract is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for both biliary disorders and diabetes support — meaning the research we have isn't strong enough to say whether it works for those purposes.

Pancreatin and cholic acid effectiveness ratings are not on file in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Radish

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.

Black radish is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts. However, concentrated radish supplements haven't been extensively studied for safety, and the facts advise caution with concentrated forms and unwashed raw sprouts.

Side effects from radish are uncommon but possible. A rare case of allergy (throat tightness and hives) has been reported.

Large amounts may irritate the stomach lining and cause mild indigestion, though it's unclear whether that's from radish alone or from other ingredients in the product. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for any of the three active ingredients — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during pregnancy or while nursing.

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 — Radish.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (medications to lower blood sugar), check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting GB-3 — black radish extract may increase the risk of low blood sugar. We could not check pancreatin or cholic acid for interactions, so run your full medication list through the search tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

GB-3 is a digestive support tablet with three active ingredients, but the evidence for how well it works isn't established in our data. The main caution is if you take antidiabetes medication — black radish may lower blood sugar further.

Before you start, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your medications and whether this product is a good fit for you.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, radish might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that radish extract, juice, and sprouts can reduce glucose levels. Animal research also shows that radish root juice 300 mg/kg reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose in a rat model of diabetes, with effects similar to glibenclamide.
