HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kidneys & Bladder 3 Glycerin by Dr. Morse's Cellular Botanicals

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
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 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.60 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This formula contains 7 ingredients. The active ones are cleavers, goldenrod, juniper berry, sheep sorrel, corn silk, cordyceps mushroom, and horsetail — a blend of herbs and fungi traditionally associated with kidney and urinary tract support.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin, raw honey, water, and alcohol, which serve as the base and preservative for the liquid form.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: kidney and bladder health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), Kidney failure, Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Kidney transplant, Diabetic nephropathy, Contrast induced nephropathy — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Goldenrod is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Goldenrod is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Also on file: Corn Silk is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Nocturnal enuresis.

The evidence for what this product actually does isn't established in our data. All six of the checked active ingredients carry ratings of Insufficient Reliable Evidence for the conditions they're used for — whether kidney stones, urinary tract infections, benign prostate enlargement, or other urinary complaints.

One ingredient, cordyceps, is rated Possibly Ineffective for athletic performance. That means we don't have solid human trial data showing whether this formula works for any specific purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Goldenrod Juniper Sorrel Corn Silk Cordyceps Horsetail

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 6 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Goldenrod is often well tolerated short-term but allergy is possible, especially topically as contact dermatitis or, rarely, from environmental exposure causing breathing problems. Juniper should not be used during pregnancy and may irritate the kidneys with long-term medicinal use.

Sheep sorrel is possibly safe in pregnancy and lactation but has a high oxalate content in concentrated doses and has caused kidney inflammation in one case report. Corn silk is generally well tolerated short-term; avoid during pregnancy.

Cordyceps is generally well tolerated for up to a year but has rarely been associated with liver inflammation (one case report). Horsetail should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding; crude horsetail contains thiaminase, which can cause thiamine deficiency with prolonged use, though products are often certified free of this.

Cleavers was not checked for safety data. Most common side effects across the ingredients are gastrointestinal — nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, constipation — and allergic reactions in sensitive people.

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

Why this rating?
  • 6 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Goldenrod, Corn Silk, Cordyceps, Sorrel, Juniper, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 584 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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diuretics (water pills), diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, lithium, corticosteroids, warfarin specifically, or HIV antiretroviral drugs including NRTIs or efavirenz.

For each ingredient in Kidneys & Bladder 3 Glycerin 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.

Corn silk5 drug types · 290 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking corn silk with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research in diabetic mice shows that taking corn silk extract lowers fasting blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Taking corn silk extract with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Clinical research in both hypertensive and normotensive adults shows that taking corn silk extract lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Corticosteroids

Taking corn silk with corticosteroids might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Clinical research shows that taking corn silk extract increases the urinary excretion of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Taking corn silk with diuretic drugs might increase the risk of adverse effects such as hyponatremia and hypokalemia.
Clinical research shows that taking corn silk extract increases urine volume and promotes the urinary excretion of sodium and potassium. Some patients may require electrolyte supplementation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, suddenly stopping, starting, or changing corn silk treatment may alter the effects of warfarin.
Corn silk contains vitamin K. Individuals taking warfarin should consume a consistent daily amount of corn silk to maintain consistent anticoagulation.

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Corn silk full monograph & interactions

Cordyceps Mushroom3 drug types · 249 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cordyceps may increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that cordyceps extract inhibits platelet aggregation and function. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that cordyceps stimulates the immune system. However, limited clinical research suggests that taking cordyceps may lower the necessary therapeutic dose of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, which suggests that cordyceps may have an immunosuppressive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Testosterone

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps and testosterone might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that cordyceps can increase testosterone levels. The clinical significance of this finding is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cordyceps Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Horsetail5 drug types · 188 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking horsetail with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Equisetum myriochaetum has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in clinical research. In an animal diabetic model, Equisetum giganteum had hypoglycemic effects. It is unclear whether other horsetail species have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, taking horsetail with diuretic drugs might increase potassium loss and the risk of hypokalemia.
Laboratory research shows that various species of horsetail have diuretic properties. Due to its diuretic effects, there has been concern that taking horsetail along with potassium-depleting diuretics might increase the risk for hypokalemia. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that taking horsetail 900 mg daily for 4 days does not affect urinary excretion of electrolytes, including potassium and sodium, despite having a diuretic effect similar to taking hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily. It is unclear if taking horsetail for a longer duration would affect electrolyte levels. Until more is known, use with caution.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Efavirenz (Sustiva)

Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of efavirenz.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral regimen that included efavirenz. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing horsetail, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of this interaction is unknown. It is also unclear if this interaction is specific to efavirenz or if it is related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, horsetail might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that horsetail has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, horsetail might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (Nrtis)

Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of NRTIs.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral therapy. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing the supplement, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of these interactions is unknown. It is also unclear if these interactions are specific to NRTIs or if they are related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Horsetail full monograph & interactions

Sheep Sorrel3 drug types · 169 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, sorrel might cause additive effects and side effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, sorrel has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of fexofenadine by reducing its absorption from the gut.
In vitro research shows that an ethanol extract of sorrel inhibits organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1A2 (OATP1A2), which transports fexofenadine from the intestine into cells. In rats, concomitant administration of sorrel extract with fexofenadine reduces oral absorption of fexofenadine and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC).

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of OATP substrates by reducing their absorption from the gut.
In vitro research shows that sorrel inhibits OATP1A2. Theoretically it may inhibit other OATPs. The OATPs are expressed in the small intestine and liver and transport drugs into cells. Inhibition of OATP may reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sheep Sorrel full monograph & interactions

Juniper3 drug types · 162 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking juniper berry with antidiabetes medications might cause additive hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that juniper berry can lower blood glucose.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, juniper berry might increase the risk of adverse effects from diuretic drugs.
Juniper berry is thought to have mild diuretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, juniper berry might reduce lithium excretion and increase serum levels of lithium.
Juniper berry is thought to have mild diuretic effects.

Kidneys & Bladder 3 Glycerin by Dr. Morse's Cellular Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Kidneys & Bladder 3 Glycerin by Dr. Morse's Cellular Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kidneys & Bladder 3 Glycerin has a known interaction with 584 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kidneys & Bladder 3 Glycerin contains 7 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 this safe during pregnancy?
Juniper is unsafe during pregnancy. Goldenrod and corn silk should be avoided due to insufficient safety data. Sheep sorrel is rated Possibly Safe, and cordyceps and horsetail lack enough data, so they're best avoided too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
Goldenrod, juniper, cordyceps, and horsetail should be avoided while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Corn silk is rated Possibly Safe. Sheep sorrel has limited data but is considered Possibly Safe. Cleavers has no safety data on file. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What does each ingredient in this do?
These are traditional herbal ingredients used for kidney and urinary support, but the evidence that any of them actually work for kidney stones, UTIs, or bladder issues is insufficient in our data. Corn silk does lower blood pressure and blood sugar in studies, but that effect may not be desirable here — it's why it interacts with medications for those conditions.
Can I take this long-term?
Most ingredients are recommended for short-term use only. Juniper may irritate the kidneys with long-term medicinal use, and horsetail's crude form contains thiaminase, which causes thiamine deficiency with prolonged consumption. Cordyceps has limited safety data beyond one year. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long it's safe for you to use this product.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, abdominal discomfort or distension, diarrhea, or constipation. Allergic reactions (skin rash, breathing problems, or itching) are possible in sensitive people, especially with goldenrod and juniper. If you have unusual symptoms, stop and contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Most of these herbs have diuretic effects (they increase urine output), lower blood pressure or blood sugar, or affect how your body handles potassium and other electrolytes. Those properties, while traditional, overlap with how many common medications work, which is why combining them can amplify or interfere with your treatment.
