What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

  • 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.

The inactive ingredients are distilled water and ethyl alcohol, which serve as the extraction and preservation medium.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Isatis's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports immune system.
  • We looked for evidence on: Respiratory tract infections, Common cold, Influenza, Viral infection.
  • The closest evidence on file: Isatis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Isatis is limited. For psoriasis, there is possibly effective evidence — meaning some data supports its use, but the evidence isn't conclusive.

For respiratory tract infections, prostate cancer, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, and aging skin, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works. If you're considering it for any of these, talk it over with your doctor about whether the data fits your situation.

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.

Human safety data for Isatis are limited, and it's traditionally been used only short-term. The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, don't take this product — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether there are safer options for what you need.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Isatis may be worth considering for psoriasis if other options haven't worked, but the evidence is modest. For other uses, evidence is too thin to say.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or taking medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially since long-term safety data are scarce.
