What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Motherwort's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Motherwort for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Bleeding — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The data we hold shows motherwort is possibly effective for bleeding. For other uses — including anxiety, amenorrhea (missing periods), asthma, and alcohol use disorder — there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.

If you're considering motherwort for one of those conditions, it's worth talking through the strength of the evidence with your pharmacist or doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Motherwort

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.

When taken by mouth, motherwort is generally well tolerated, though human safety data are limited and it's best used short-term in healthy adults. The most common side effects are diarrhea and stomach irritation.

In higher amounts — more than 3 grams — it may cause uterine bleeding. Topically, it can cause contact dermatitis and photosensitivity (a reaction to sun exposure).

The safety data advises against use in pregnancy, as motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. There's no information on file about its safety during breastfeeding — talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're nursing.

Motherwort Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Motherwort Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Motherwort Extract has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Motherwort Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take motherwort if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against it. Motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, which makes it unsafe in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
What's the most common side effect I might notice?
Diarrhea and stomach irritation are the most common side effects when taken by mouth. Most people tolerate it well when used short-term. If your stomach upset doesn't settle, stop taking it and let your pharmacist know.
Does this really work for anxiety?
There isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether motherwort works for anxiety. It's listed as an insufficiently studied use — so we honestly don't know if it's effective for that purpose.
Is there a dose I shouldn't exceed?
Yes — doses above 3 grams can cause uterine bleeding. Stick to the dose on the label and don't increase it on your own.
Will this make me drowsy?
Motherwort has been reported to cause sedation and CNS depression on its own. If you're sensitive to sedating herbs, start low and see how you feel. The risk goes up significantly if you're also taking sleep aids, sedatives, or anti-anxiety drugs.
