HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Horseradish Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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: horseradish powder. Horseradish is a root vegetable used in cooking and traditional medicine, traditionally taken for respiratory tract health, urinary tract support, and other purposes.

There are no other active ingredients, and no inactive fillers are listed.

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 Horseradish product and its label doesn't state a use — see Horseradish'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 we hold does not establish that horseradish powder is effective for respiratory tract infections, intestinal parasites, urinary tract infections, or gout. All of those uses carry insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean horseradish doesn't work for these purposes—it means the data we have isn't strong enough to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Horseradish

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.

Horseradish is generally well tolerated when you use it in food amounts. But this is a concentrated powder supplement, and large amounts can irritate your digestive tract and mucous membranes.

In rare cases, consuming large amounts has caused gastrointestinal upset, bloody vomiting, diarrhea, and even a dangerous drop in heart rate and blood pressure (vasovagal syncope). Do not use medicinal amounts during pregnancy—safety hasn't been established.

During breastfeeding, stick to food amounts; medicinal use hasn't been well studied. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Horseradish

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 — Horseradish.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 16 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 thyroid hormone (levothyroxine or similar), check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product—horseradish may reduce its effect. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

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.

Horseradish root powder may appeal to you if you're looking for a traditional culinary herb in supplement form, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't solid. The main caution is if you take thyroid hormone—you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant or nursing? Same conversation.

And be mindful of dose: food amounts are fine, but large supplement doses can upset your stomach.

Horseradish Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Horseradish Root Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Horseradish Root Powder has a known interaction with 16 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Horseradish Root Powder 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.
Will this hurt my stomach?
Food amounts are generally well tolerated. But this is a concentrated powder, and large doses can irritate your digestive tract and cause upset, diarrhea, or bloody vomiting. Start with a small amount and see how you feel.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No—medicinal amounts of horseradish haven't been studied in pregnancy, so safety isn't established. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
Stick to food amounts only. Medicinal use during breastfeeding hasn't been well studied. If you're nursing and want to take a supplement amount, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Does horseradish actually work for respiratory infections or UTIs?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. Both uses carry insufficient reliable evidence to rate, so we don't know whether it's effective for those purposes.
What is horseradish used for traditionally?
Horseradish has been used traditionally for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, intestinal parasites, and gout—but again, the evidence isn't solid enough to confirm it works.
