HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Irish Sea Moss Complex 2,250 mg by Nature's Truth

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Irish Sea Moss Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2,250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This formula contains 3 active ingredients: burdock root extract, sea moss, and bladderwrack (a type of seaweed). Each is a whole-plant extract supplied in capsule form.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — rice powder, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica — which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule. Burdock root has been used in traditional herbal practice for skin and general wellness.

Sea moss and bladderwrack are both iodine-rich seaweeds historically consumed as food and dietary supplements.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate burdock for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, or eczema. For sea moss, evidence is similarly insufficient to rate it for fatigue, muscle strength, chronic pain, quality of life, or iodine deficiency.

Bladderwrack likewise has insufficient evidence for aging skin, heart disease, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion. In short, the evidence base for what this product may do isn't established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Burdock Sea Moss Fucus Vesiculosus

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Burdock root is likely safe when consumed as food and for short-term use in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited and it's generally well tolerated. Serious side effects are rare but include allergic reactions (contact dermatitis, anaphylaxis) and very rarely liver injury.

Sea moss is generally seen as food but has variable iodine levels and may contain heavy metals, warranting caution. Bladderwrack carries real safety concerns: it may cause goiter, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), or underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) due to high iodine, and rare cases of thyroid cancer have been reported.

Avoid this product during pregnancy — iodine content is unpredictable and unsafe for the unborn baby. Avoid it while breastfeeding too, since excess iodine passes into breast milk and can affect your baby's thyroid function.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Burdock, Fucus Vesiculosus, Sea Moss.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 894 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs, antithyroid medications, thyroid hormone replacement, the heart medication amiodarone, or lithium. Sea moss and bladderwrack's iodine content can shift how thyroid drugs work, and there's at least one case of hyperthyroidism when bladderwrack was combined with lithium.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is marketed for general wellness, but evidence for what it actually does isn't established. Its biggest risks are iodine-related thyroid effects and interactions with thyroid and heart medications, as well as potential bleeding if you take blood thinners.

If you have a thyroid condition, take lithium, or use anticoagulants, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Bladderwrack9 drug types · 893 drugs

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2C9 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP2C9. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2D6 substrates might alter the effects of these substrates.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, both inhibits and induces CYP2D6. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP3A4 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP3A4. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Irish Sea Moss Complex 2,250 mg by Nature's Truth: Common Questions

Does Irish Sea Moss Complex 2,250 mg by Nature's Truth interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Irish Sea Moss Complex 2,250 mg has a known interaction with 893 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Irish Sea Moss Complex 2,250 mg contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is Irish Sea Moss Complex safe during pregnancy?
No. The product's iodine and possible heavy-metal content are unpredictable, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. The safety data advise against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether any ingredient might be right for you if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No. There's too little safety data, and excess iodine can pass into breast milk and affect your nursing baby's thyroid. The safety data advise against medicinal use while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What are the side effects?
Burdock is generally well tolerated, though allergic reactions (including contact dermatitis and rarely anaphylaxis) can occur. Sea moss may cause constipation or diarrhea. Bladderwrack's main concern is thyroid disruption — goiter, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism — due to its high iodine content.
Does this product actually work for anything?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate burdock, sea moss, or bladderwrack for any of the conditions they're marketed for — including skin health, fatigue, or muscle strength. The product isn't backed by established evidence for its intended uses.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
The total count of 892 reflects individual medications metabolized or affected by the three ingredients combined — especially the liver enzymes bladderwrack may influence. Most of those interactions are Minor severity and haven't been reported in humans. The Moderate ones to watch are thyroid, heart, blood-thinning, and lithium medications.
What is burdock root used for in this formula?
Burdock root is included for traditional wellness support, particularly for skin health. However, the data we hold show insufficient evidence for acne, aging skin, or eczema — so its actual benefit isn't established.
