HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Indigo by Herbal Terra

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: indigo dried leaf liquid extract (from the plant Isatis). The liquid is prepared in a menstruum, which is the liquid solvent used to extract the plant material.

Does it work?

Moderate 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Isatis's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Isatis for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Psoriasis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence is mixed. Indigo is possibly effective for psoriasis.

For respiratory tract infections, prostate cancer, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, and aging skin, the data isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works — we'd need more reliable human studies.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Isatis

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Indigo has been used short-term in traditional medicine, but human safety data are limited, so caution is warranted if you plan to use it long-term. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there simply isn't enough reliable information to know if it's safe in those situations.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or thinking about becoming pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Isatis

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredient we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Indigo may be worth considering if you have psoriasis and are interested in herbal options, though the evidence is modest. Because safety data in humans are limited — especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding — it's best to discuss this product with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it, particularly if you fall into those groups or have a history of liver or kidney concerns.

Indigo by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Indigo by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Indigo. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Indigo 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 indigo really work for psoriasis?
The evidence suggests it possibly works, but we don't have strong proof yet. If you're thinking about trying it for skin issues, talk it over with your dermatologist or pharmacist to see if it fits your plan.
Can I take indigo if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against it — there isn't enough reliable information to know if it's safe during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor before using this product if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I breastfeed while taking indigo?
No — there is no reliable safety data for breastfeeding, so you should avoid it while nursing. If you're breastfeeding and interested in this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What is indigo and where does it come from?
Indigo is a dried leaf liquid extract from the plant Isatis (also called woad). It's been used in traditional medicine, particularly for skin and respiratory concerns.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
No adverse effects are documented in our data, but human safety information is limited. Since this product is traditionally used short-term, stick to short-term use and watch for any unusual reactions.
