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 is a one-ingredient liquid: goldenrod flowering top extract made from fresh, undried plant material. It comes in a base of cane alcohol and glycerin.

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 system restoration and support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Bladder health, Kidney function.
  • The closest evidence on file: Goldenrod is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Goldenrod is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

We hold insufficient evidence to rate goldenrod for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), dental plaque, kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), or urinary tract infections (UTIs). The research on those uses just isn't solid enough yet to say whether it works.

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 short-term, but human safety data are limited. Allergy is possible — topically it's been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis in sensitive people.

In one case report, environmental exposure to goldenrod triggered rhinoconjunctivitis and bronchial asthma in someone who worked with flowers. There isn't enough safety information to use this during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations.

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 diuretic herb — which means it makes you urinate more. That's its main role here.

If you take water pills for blood pressure or fluid retention, this product could push those effects too far. Chat with your pharmacist before adding it to your routine.
