HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lutein by Herbadiet

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Lutein contains 2 active ingredients: marigold flower extract and marigold, both forms of calendula. The product comes in a capsule with vegetable cellulose as an inactive shell.

We don't have specific potency or dosage figures on file for the active 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 Calendula's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: protects eyes and improves skin health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Conjunctivitis, Wound healing, Diaper rash, Age-related macular degeneration, Cataracts, Dry eye syndrome.
  • The closest evidence on file: Calendula is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diaper rash (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Calendula is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing, Conjunctivitis.

The evidence for calendula—the active ingredient in both the marigold flower extract and marigold in this product—isn't established in the data we hold. Effectiveness ratings we have are insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for acne, bacterial vaginosis, burns, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver disease, and radiation dermatitis.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

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.

Calendula is generally well tolerated on the skin but can cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to it, especially those allergic to plants in the ragweed family (which includes ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and other herbs). When taken by mouth, it can trigger allergic reactions, and topical use can cause eczematous (itchy, inflamed) allergic reactions; patch testing is recommended if you've had reactions to similar plants.

Burning, itching, redness, and scaling have been reported rarely in combination products. The safety data for oral use is limited, so it's best to avoid taking it by mouth unless your doctor approves.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against taking calendula by mouth. For breastfeeding, we don't have safety information on file—talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Calendula.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • 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.

If you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medications), check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—there's a Minor theoretical risk of added drowsiness, though it's unlikely.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is marigold extract, which hasn't been proven effective for the conditions we have data on. If you take any sedating medications (sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs, or similar), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this.

If you have allergies to ragweed or related plants, be cautious—allergic reactions are possible. Patch test first if you're uncertain about sensitivity.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, calendula might have additive effects when used with CNS depressants, although this appears to be unlikely.
Although some animal research has suggested that a saponoside constituent in calendula may have sedative effects, calendula has been used for over 30 years without reports of sedation in humans.
