HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ground Ivy by Red Moon Herbs

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This liquid contains one active ingredient: Ground Ivy Leaf, Stem Extract, Fresh. The product also has Water and Alcohol as inactive ingredients.

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 Ground Ivy product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ground Ivy'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 for Ground Ivy's effectiveness against sunburn is insufficient — we don't have reliable data to rate it. If you're considering this for that reason, talk with us first about what the science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ground Ivy

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.

Ground Ivy is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth or applied to skin. However, safety testing hasn't been thorough, and high doses or the essential oil form may be harmful — stick to the dosage on the label and avoid taking more than directed.

Ground Ivy has traditionally been used to affect menstruation, so it should be avoided during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best to skip it while nursing.

When applied topically, some people experience itching and stinging during the first two weeks; these symptoms usually fade with continued use.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Ground Ivy has a long traditional history, but modern safety and effectiveness data are limited. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid it.

Talk with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're taking any medications or have concerns about how much you're using.

Ground Ivy by Red Moon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Ground Ivy by Red Moon Herbs interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Ground Ivy. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ground Ivy 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 take this while I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advise against it. Ground Ivy has traditionally been used to affect menstruation, which makes it risky during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or midwife before considering any herbal product while pregnant.
Is it safe to use while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. It's best to avoid it while breastfeeding unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise.
What if it causes itching or stinging when I apply it?
Some people report itching and stinging during the first two weeks of topical use, but these symptoms usually disappear as you keep using it. If they don't ease up or get worse, stop and check with us.
Does it really work for sunburn?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We don't have reliable data to rate Ground Ivy for sunburn, so there are better-studied options available if that's what you're after.
What does 'limited safety data' mean for me?
It means we don't have as much research on this ingredient as we do on others. Stay with the dose on the label, don't use the essential oil form (which can be harmful), and tell us if anything feels off.
