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 product contains one active ingredient: organic Goat's Rue, a traditional herbal supplement. The capsule also includes inactive ingredients—rice flour, vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.

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 Goat's Rue's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promote natural milk production.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, Breast milk supply, Galactagogue effect, Breastfeeding support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Goat's Rue is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Goat's Rue and lactation support is insufficient—we don't have reliable data to rate how well it works. It's traditionally used to support milk supply, but quality and safety vary considerably across products, so use only with professional guidance.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

If you're breastfeeding and considering this supplement, there isn't enough information on file to know either way—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's right for you.
