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 root glycerite liquid extract. Horseradish is a pungent root vegetable traditionally used to support respiratory and urinary tract health, though the evidence for these uses isn't well established.

The supplement is made with glycerin and vanilla flavor as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: respiratory and urinary tract health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Respiratory tract infections, Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Sinus congestion, Antimicrobial support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Horseradish is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Horseradish is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The evidence for horseradish isn't established in the data we hold. Studies haven't provided reliable support for its use with respiratory tract infections, intestinal parasites, urinary tract infections, or gout — all listed uses have insufficient evidence to rate them.

If you're considering this product for one of these purposes, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it makes sense for your situation.

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 consume it in food amounts. But concentrated supplements like this one may irritate your digestive tract and mucous membranes.

In large amounts, it can cause gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, bloody vomiting, and irritation of the mouth and throat lining. Rarely, large amounts have caused fainting (vasovagal syncope).

During pregnancy, medicinal amounts of horseradish aren't recommended — the safety data isn't there. During breastfeeding, stick to food amounts; medicinal use hasn't been well studied.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement may be worth considering if you want to try horseradish for respiratory or urinary support, but remember the evidence isn't solid yet. The main caution is if you take thyroid hormone — you'll want to clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

Also be aware that large amounts can upset your stomach and irritate your mouth and throat. Start low, see how you tolerate it, and let your healthcare provider know you're taking it.
