HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services

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

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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: an infusion (1:6000) of Amaranthus caudatus, commonly known as love-lies-bleeding. The liquid is prepared with water and brandy as inactive ingredients.

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 Amaranth product and its label doesn't state a use — see Amaranth'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 we hold does not establish that this product works for any condition. Amaranth shows possibly ineffective evidence for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), and there isn't enough reliable data to rate it for iron deficiency anemia or peptic ulcers.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Amaranth

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Amaranth is generally safe as food. However, medicinal supplement doses of amaranth have not been well studied, and safety data at concentrated medicinal levels is lacking.

Food amounts are likely fine, but supplement-strength doses carry uncertainty. We do not have pregnancy and lactation data on file for this ingredient — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Amaranth

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. This is not a guarantee that no interactions exist — if you take any medications, you can still run them through the interaction checker on this page, or confirm with your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Love-Lies-Bleeding Flower Essence may appeal to those interested in flower essences, but evidence of benefit is not established in our data. The main concern is that medicinal doses haven't been studied for safety.

If you're considering it, especially during pregnancy, nursing, or alongside other supplements, check in with your doctor or pharmacist first.
