Does it work?

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 Hydrangea product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hydrangea'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.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for hydrangea root in the form we hold. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, ask your pharmacist what the research shows for your use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hydrangea

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.

Human safety data for hydrangea are limited, and large or prolonged doses may cause unwanted effects. The most common side effects include stomach upset (gastroenteritis), dizziness, and a sensation of chest tightness.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy. There is no reliable safety data while breastfeeding, so it should be avoided then as well.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or thinking about it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this.

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 Root may interest someone looking for a traditional herbal remedy, but it's not right for anyone taking lithium without a doctor's sign-off. Keep in mind the safety data are sparse.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on other medications or pregnant or nursing.
