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

This is a single-ingredient Buckwheat product and its label doesn't state a use — see Buckwheat's own graded uses on its monograph.

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

The evidence for buckwheat in cardiovascular disease, chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs and feet), diabetes, and diabetic retinopathy (damage to the blood vessels of the eye from diabetes) is insufficient to rate. In other words, we don't have enough reliable data yet to say whether it works for any of these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Buckwheat

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 1 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.

Buckwheat is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. Some people, though, can have allergic reactions—skin sensitization, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, eye inflammation, nausea, vomiting, or in rare cases anaphylaxis.

Occupational or household exposure (such as sleeping on a buckwheat husk pillow) can also trigger sensitization over time. Concentrated buckwheat supplements have not been well studied in pregnancy.

Safety while breastfeeding is also unknown. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this product is right for you.
