HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lycopus Spp. Bugleweed by Wise Woman Herbals

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.50 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: bugleweed, a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. The liquid form also contains alcohol and spring water 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 Bugleweed product and its label doesn't state a use — see Bugleweed'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 for bugleweed isn't established in the data we hold. We rate its use for hyperthyroidism, insomnia, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning we don't yet have solid proof it works for any of these.

That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means the research isn't there yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bugleweed

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.

Bugleweed comes with important cautions. It may affect how your thyroid works, so use it only under a healthcare provider's guidance.

The safety data advises against it during pregnancy because of possible effects on hormones. If you're breastfeeding, it should not be used — bugleweed may lower prolactin and reduce milk production.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bugleweed

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 — Bugleweed.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 16 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 any thyroid hormone replacement (like levothyroxine), check with your pharmacist before starting this product. Bugleweed may reduce how well your medication works.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Bugleweed is traditionally used for thyroid and hormone-related concerns, but evidence of benefit is lacking. If you're on thyroid medication or thinking about it during pregnancy or while nursing, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first — this one needs a healthcare provider's oversight.
