HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Larix 400 mg by Eclectic Herb

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

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.

Larix 400 mg contains one active ingredient: larch arabinogalactan, a fiber extracted from larch tree wood. The capsule also includes hypromellose, an inactive ingredient that forms the capsule shell.

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 Larch Arabinogalactan's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: immune support and gut health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Common cold, immune function, prebiotic fiber, gut microbiome.
  • The closest evidence on file: Larch Arabinogalactan is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate larch arabinogalactan for the common cold or high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the studies on file don't yet establish whether it does.

If you're considering it for one of these uses, talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence is enough for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Larch Arabinogalactan

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.

Larch arabinogalactan is generally well tolerated as a fiber. Some people do experience bloating and flatulence—the kinds of digestive side effects you'd expect from a fiber supplement.

However, long-term safety data are limited, and the safety information on file advises caution and recommends checking with your doctor before you start, especially if you have any underlying health concerns.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Larch Arabinogalactan.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 121 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.

Check your medications before starting Larix if you take immunosuppressants such as azathioprine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate, or other similar drugs prescribed after organ transplant or for immune-related conditions. Use the search tool on this page to verify your exact medications, then confirm with your doctor or pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Larix is a fiber supplement from larch wood, best suited for people without immunosuppressant medications. If you take drugs to suppress your immune system—especially after a transplant or for an autoimmune condition—you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Digestive side effects like bloating can happen. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to see if it's right for you.

Larix 400 mg by Eclectic Herb: Common Questions

Does Larix 400 mg by Eclectic Herb interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Larix 400 mg has a known interaction with 121 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Larix 400 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
What is arabinogalactan?
Arabinogalactan is a soluble fiber taken from the wood of larch trees. It's the active ingredient in this supplement and is processed into a 400 mg capsule form.
Can I take this if I've had an organ transplant?
No, not without talking to your doctor first. Larch arabinogalactan may interfere with immunosuppressant medications—the drugs you take to prevent transplant rejection. Your doctor needs to weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
Does it help with colds or cholesterol?
The evidence on file is not strong enough to say. Studies we hold show insufficient reliable data for both uses, so we can't tell you whether it actually works for either condition.
What are the common side effects?
Bloating and flatulence are the most commonly reported side effects—typical of fiber supplements. Most people tolerate it well, but long-term safety data are limited.
Is it safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data to say either way. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
