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 product is a single-ingredient powder: lobelia. Lobelia is a plant that's been used traditionally in herbal medicine, though its safety profile at higher doses is a real concern.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 Lobelia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lobelia'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.

Lobelia is rated possibly ineffective for smoking cessation in our data. Evidence for other uses isn't established in the information we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lobelia

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.

Lobelia can be toxic, and that toxicity risk is significant. Even doses as low as 50 mg have caused nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation in people who've taken it.

At 600 mg or higher, toxicity symptoms can include sweating, rapid heart rate (tachycardia), seizures (convulsions), dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia), dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension), coma, and death. The safety data advises strongly against using lobelia during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to toxicity concerns and lack of safety information.

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 — Lobelia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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 lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—lobelia may increase lithium levels and require a dose adjustment. For any other medications, run them through the search tool on this page.
