HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Irish Sea Moss by Her Own
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
Low disclosure
Her Own Irish Sea Moss is a 3-ingredient capsule. The active ingredients are burdock, bladderwrack (fucus vesiculosus), and Irish sea moss.
The capsules also contain inactive ingredients: hypromellose (a capsule material), bamboo shoot extract, and bamboo leaf extract.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for what burdock and bladderwrack do isn't established in the data we hold. Burdock has been tested for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and eczema — all came back with insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
Bladderwrack's effectiveness for aging skin, heart disease, constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion also lacks sufficient evidence. We have no effectiveness data on file for Irish sea moss itself.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Burdock is generally well tolerated when eaten as food and used short-term in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited. Serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare.
One case of liver injury was reported after taking a herbal blend containing burdock, but it's unclear if burdock was the culprit. Contact dermatitis has occurred, especially with prolonged use of burdock root oil or plasters.
Bladderwrack may be unsafe orally because of its high iodine content, which can cause goiter, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), or underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). One case of thyroid cancer was reported.
A young adult taking a weight loss supplement containing bladderwrack developed heart palpitations and abnormal heart rhythm, though other ingredients in that product may have been responsible. Bladderwrack is not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to excess iodine and possible heavy metal concentration.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take thyroid medications, antithyroid drugs, lithium, or amiodarone — bladderwrack's iodine content could significantly affect how these work. Blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) may carry a higher bleeding risk.
Several liver enzymes that metabolize medications — CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 — may be affected by bladderwrack, though no human cases are documented.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take any thyroid medication, lithium, amiodarone, blood thinners, or antiplatelet drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — the interactions could affect how these medications work. Burdock and bladderwrack are used traditionally but have limited modern safety data and no proven effectiveness for the conditions they're marketed for.
Run your medications through the checker on this page to see if there are specific concerns.

Irish Sea Moss by Her Own Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Her Own Irish Sea Moss contains burdock and bladderwrack (also called fucus), both of which interact with medications.
The most serious concern is bladderwrack's effect on thyroid function and thyroid medications — its high iodine content can disrupt how antithyroid drugs, thyroid hormone replacements, and lithium work, and theoretically might cause problems when combined with amiodarone, a heart rhythm drug.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Burdock may increase bleeding risk if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), though this hasn't been confirmed in people — only in lab studies. Bladderwrack also carries a theoretical minor bleeding risk with these same medications.
Bladderwrack can also affect how your liver processes certain medications through enzymes called CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 — this is theoretical and hasn't been seen in humans, but it could potentially alter the effect of drugs metabolized this way. Altogether, these interactions span 892 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Irish Sea Moss with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bladderwrack
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, combining Fucus vesiculosus with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use might increase the risk of having excessive iodine levels and adversely affecting thyroid function. Monitor thyroid function.
Antithyroid Drugs
Due to its iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking Fucus vesiculosus while using antithyroid drugs could alter the effects of the antithyroid drugs.
Lithium
Concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus and lithium has resulted in hyperthyroidism.
There is a case of hyperthyroidism occurring in a patient taking Fucus vesiculosus and lithium. Monitor thyroid hormones closely in patients taking lithium and Fucus vesiculosus concomitantly.
Thyroid Hormone
Due to its iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus might alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking Fucus vesiculosus while using thyroid hormone could alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking Fucus vesiculosus with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro evidence suggests that a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, known as fucoidan, has anticoagulant effects. However, in clinical research, fucoidan does not seem to have significant anticoagulant activity when taken orally, possibly due to poor absorption.
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (Cyp2C8) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2C8 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP2C8. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
