HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Goldenrod by Hawaii Pharm

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Goldenrod extract in liquid form. The formula also includes vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and artesian Hawaiian purified water as inactive ingredients.

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 Goldenrod's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Urinary tract and bladder health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Cystitis, Urinary frequency, Dysuria.
  • The closest evidence on file: Goldenrod is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Goldenrod is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The evidence for goldenrod isn't established in our data for any of its traditional uses. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), dental plaque, kidney stones, or urinary tract infections.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means human studies haven't yet built a strong case.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Goldenrod

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.

Goldenrod is often well tolerated in the short term, but human safety data are limited and allergic reactions are possible. Some people have experienced allergic contact dermatitis when goldenrod touched their skin.

In one case report, environmental exposure to goldenrod triggered hay fever and asthma symptoms in a person sensitive to the plant family it belongs to. Because there isn't enough safety information, the data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Goldenrod

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 — Goldenrod.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 75 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 diuretic drugs (water pills)—including those for high blood pressure, heart failure, or edema—double-check with your pharmacist before starting goldenrod. The combination could increase the drug's effects and side effects.

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.

Goldenrod is a single-ingredient herbal extract that's often well tolerated short-term, but human evidence of benefit is lacking and safety data are limited. If you take diuretic medications, check with your pharmacist first.

Goldenrod by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Goldenrod by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Goldenrod has a known interaction with 75 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Goldenrod 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 goldenrod if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information, so the data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What adverse effects should I watch for?
Human safety data are limited, but allergic reactions are the main concern. If goldenrod touches your skin, some people develop allergic contact dermatitis. In rare cases, inhaling goldenrod pollen or being around the plant has triggered hay fever and asthma in sensitive individuals.
Does goldenrod really work for UTIs or kidney stones?
We don't have enough reliable human evidence to say whether it works for urinary tract infections, kidney stones, enlarged prostate, or dental plaque. More research is needed.
Why does this product contain alcohol?
Goldenrod is a liquid extract made with pharmaceutical-grade alcohol and water. That's the standard way to extract and preserve herbal compounds in liquid form.
Is goldenrod safe if I don't take any medications?
It's often well tolerated short-term, but human safety data overall are limited. If you have a known allergy to ragweed or plants in that family, or if you develop any allergic symptoms, stop using it and talk with your pharmacist.
