HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hair Growth + by Herbal Goodness

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.

Hair Growth + is a one-ingredient liquid supplement built on bamboo leaf extract. Bamboo is a plant source that's been used in traditional medicine, though what it actually does for hair growth hasn't been reliably studied yet.

The extract is suspended in glycerin and purified water.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promote hair growth, nail strength, and skin.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hair loss, Nail health, Skin health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't have reliable evidence that bamboo leaf extract works for hair growth. The data we hold covers bamboo's effects on dental cavities, not hair — and even there, the evidence is too thin to rate.

If hair growth is your goal, this ingredient hasn't been proven to deliver it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bamboo

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.

Bamboo shoots that you eat are generally well tolerated when properly cooked, but supplement safety is less clear. The raw plant material contains cyanide compounds, though boiling and fermentation remove them — it depends how this extract was processed.

The safety notes flag that concentrated bamboo forms aren't well studied in pregnancy, so the data advises against it during pregnancy. While breastfeeding, safety is unknown; unless your doctor clears it, skip concentrated extracts.

Topical contact with bamboo shoots has occasionally caused skin irritation in individuals.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bamboo

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 — Bamboo.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 5 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.

Antithyroid drugs are the medication type you need to double-check before taking Hair Growth +. Long-term bamboo use might strengthen their effects and raise the risk of an underactive thyroid.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a one-ingredient product with limited evidence for its stated purpose. If you take antithyroid medications, check with us before you start.

Pregnant people should avoid it. For anyone else, the main gap is that we just don't know much about how safe concentrated bamboo supplements are long-term.

Antithyroid Drugs

Theoretically, long-term bamboo use might increase the effects and adverse effects of antithyroid drugs, possibly leading to hypothyroidism.
Animal research suggests that long-term consumption of bamboo shoot can decrease thyroid peroxidase activity, as well as levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This effect has not yet been reported in humans.

Hair Growth + by Herbal Goodness: Common Questions

Does Hair Growth + by Herbal Goodness interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Hair Growth + has a known interaction with 5 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Hair Growth + 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.
Does bamboo leaf extract actually help hair grow?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. The research on bamboo for hair growth simply isn't established in our data.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against concentrated bamboo forms during pregnancy because they haven't been well studied. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're thinking about it.
What about while breastfeeding?
Safety during breastfeeding is unknown. Unless your doctor has cleared this product for you, it's best to avoid concentrated bamboo extracts while nursing.
Can raw bamboo be toxic?
Yes — raw bamboo shoots contain cyanide compounds that are normally removed by boiling, fermentation, or special drying. We don't know exactly how this extract was processed, so that's a question to ask the maker.
What if I take thyroid medication?
Check with your pharmacist first. Long-term bamboo might increase how well antithyroid drugs work, which could push your thyroid too far in the opposite direction.
