HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hydrangea by New Sun
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This supplement contains one active ingredient: hydrangea. Hydrangea is a plant historically used in herbal medicine, and it's thought to have diuretic properties—meaning it may increase urination.
The capsule itself is made with gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We don't have effectiveness data on file for hydrangea, so we cannot tell you whether it works for any particular purpose. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the evidence shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Human safety data on hydrangea are limited, especially for larger or long-term doses. The most common side effects reported are stomach upset (gastroenteritis), dizziness, and a feeling of chest tightness.
The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, since there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product—hydrangea may increase lithium levels and require a dose adjustment. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient 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.
Hydrangea is a single-ingredient plant supplement with limited human safety data and no established effectiveness rating. The main concern is a potential interaction with lithium that could raise its levels in your blood.
If you take lithium or any other medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
