HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lung Support by Red Moon Herbs

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Red Moon Herbs Lung Support is a liquid blend containing 3 active ingredients: elecampane (fresh), horehound (fresh), and plantain (fresh). These are traditional herbs sometimes used to support respiratory health, though the evidence for their effectiveness is limited.

The product also contains water and alcohol as inactive ingredients.

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 Elecampane's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: lung support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cough, bronchitis, asthma, respiratory health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Elecampane is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cough (Natural Medicines).

We don't have reliable evidence yet for elecampane's effects on cough or acne — the data rates both as insufficient. Horehound and plantain are included in the blend, but we don't have effectiveness ratings for them on file either.

If respiratory support is what you're after, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows for this type of product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

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.

Elecampane is generally used in small amounts in teas and tinctures, but it can trigger allergic reactions and upset your stomach. The most common concern is allergic contact dermatitis if you're sensitive to plants in the ragweed family (like chrysanthemums and daisies).

At high doses, it may cause vomiting, diarrhea, spasms, and in rare cases, paralysis symptoms. The safety data advises against using elecampane during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane

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 — Elecampane.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 if you take CNS depressants — drugs that make you drowsy or slow your breathing, like sleep aids, benzodiazepines, or certain pain relievers. Elecampane may add to their sedative effects.

We couldn't check horehound and plantain, so mention those names to your pharmacist too.
