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 liquid contains one active ingredient: Jamaica Dogwood Bark Extract. The extract also includes cane alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients to carry and preserve it.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: nervous system support and minor pain relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: insomnia, anxiety, nerve pain, muscle tension.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for Jamaica Dogwood in our data, so we can't say what the evidence shows about whether it works for any particular purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Jamaican Dogwood

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.

Jamaica Dogwood Bark Extract can be toxic at higher doses and has limited safety data in humans, so dosing matters and the full safety picture isn't clear. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding—it has traditionally been linked to effects on the uterus, and there isn't enough information to know it's safe for a developing baby or nursing infant.
