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. This is a soluble fiber derived from larch trees.

The capsule itself also contains hypromellose, an inactive ingredient that helps form 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 function and gut health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Common cold, Immune function, Gut health, Prebiotic fiber.
  • The closest evidence on file: Larch Arabinogalactan is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for larch arabinogalactan isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for common cold or high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) — the two conditions it's most often marketed for.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the trials we have aren't strong enough to say one way or the other.

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.

Orally, larch arabinogalactan is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety data of high quality are limited. The most common side effects are bloating and flatulence — pretty normal when you're adding a fiber supplement.

The safety data available aren't thorough enough to give a clear thumbs-up, so caution and a chat with your provider are advised before you start.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Larch Arabinogalactan

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.

If you take an immunosuppressant medication such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate, azathioprine, or any other drug that suppresses your immune system, check with your pharmacist before adding this supplement. The interaction is rated Moderate because larch arabinogalactan may interfere with how these drugs work.

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 400 mg is a single-ingredient larch fiber supplement. If you take an immunosuppressant medication — for an organ transplant or autoimmune condition — check with your pharmacist or doctor before taking this.

Otherwise, if you're looking for immune or cholesterol support, the evidence isn't solid enough to know whether it'll help 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.
Will this supplement help prevent or shorten a cold?
We don't have strong enough evidence to say. The trials we hold rate larch arabinogalactan as having insufficient reliable evidence for common cold — so we can't confirm it works for that purpose.
Can it help lower my cholesterol?
Again, the evidence isn't established in our data. We rate it as insufficient reliable evidence for high cholesterol, so we can't say it will help with your numbers.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate it well. The main ones to watch for are bloating and flatulence — that's your gut adjusting to a fiber supplement. If they're bad, start with a smaller dose or take it with plenty of water.
Is there enough safety data to know it's safe long-term?
Not really. High-quality long-term safety studies are limited, so we don't have a ton of reassuring data on how it holds up over years of use. Talk to your provider about whether it's right for you.
I'm pregnant — can I take this?
We don't have enough safety data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on whether it's okay for you during pregnancy.
