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

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Madder

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.

Madder raises significant safety concerns. Lab studies have found that some madder compounds appear genotoxic and possibly cancer-causing, which is why this supplement is best avoided.

The product is unsafe during pregnancy because madder may stimulate menstruation and affect the uterus. It's also unsafe while breastfeeding because its pigments can pass into breast milk and safety during lactation is unknown.

Common side effects include red-colored urine, saliva, and perspiration—harmless but striking. There's concern the pigments could stain contact lenses.

Handling madder material (especially in the garden) has caused contact dermatitis in some people, so exercise caution if you touch the raw plant.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Given the genotoxic and possible cancer-causing compounds found in madder, this supplement isn't one we'd recommend to anyone. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid it—the safety data advises against it.

Talk to your pharmacist before use, especially if you have any health concerns.
