HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh Complex by True Botanica

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Myrrh” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (0.80 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Myrrh Herb Extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (0.20 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Myrrh Complex is a liquid blend with 2 active ingredients: myrrh and a myrrh herb extract (both derived from Commiphora myrrha resin). The product also contains inactive ingredients—glycerin, apple cider vinegar, salts, trace minerals, potassium sorbate, and citric acid—that serve as preservatives, flavor, and texture.

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 Myrrh product and its label doesn't state a use — see Myrrh'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 myrrh's effectiveness in the conditions studied is weak. Myrrh is rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection).

For back pain, common cold, dental peri-implantitis (implant gum infection), and Crohn disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. Cancer is also in that same category—the data doesn't support a clear answer yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

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.

Myrrh has a mixed safety profile depending on how you use it. Topical application or mouth rinses appear fairly well tolerated, but oral safety hasn't been well studied overall.

When taken by mouth, myrrh may cause diarrhea at higher doses (2–4 grams). One case reported severe lower belly pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh; the pain stopped after she quit it.

The safety data advises against myrrh during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus. Breastfeeding safety isn't addressed in the available data—talk to your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

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 — Myrrh.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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 antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others to control blood sugar), watch for signs of low blood sugar—shakiness, sweating, dizziness. Warfarin (Coumadin) users should monitor their blood-thinning closely; myrrh may weaken its effect.

Always run your exact medications through the tool on this page before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Myrrh Complex is best considered if you're looking to explore herbal options for minor inflammatory or digestive issues, but the evidence for most uses is thin. If you take blood sugar medication or warfarin, check with your pharmacist before you start—these interactions are real enough to warrant a closer look.

Pregnancy is a no-go; if you're breastfeeding or nursing a condition, get personalized advice first.

Myrrh Complex by True Botanica: Common Questions

Does Myrrh Complex by True Botanica interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh Complex has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Myrrh Complex contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 this during pregnancy?
No. Myrrh is traditionally said to stimulate the uterus, and one case reported severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking it. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or trying to conceive, talk to your OB or pharmacist.
What side effects might I notice?
Diarrhea is the most common, especially at higher doses (2–4 grams). If you apply it to skin, it can occasionally cause dermatitis (rash or irritation). Stop and call your pharmacist if you have belly pain or other unusual symptoms.
Is myrrh proven to work for colds or back pain?
Not yet. There isn't enough reliable research to say whether myrrh helps with back pain or common cold. The evidence simply isn't there to back up those uses at this time.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
We don't have safety data on breastfeeding. Because we don't know either way, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—they can give you personalized advice for your situation.
Why do I need to check my blood pressure or thyroid medications with this?
Myrrh's documented interactions are only with blood sugar drugs and warfarin. Blood pressure and thyroid meds aren't listed as a concern in the data we hold. That said, always run your exact drugs through the checker—it's the safest move.
How much myrrh is in each dose?
The product facts we have don't list the dose per serving or the amount of myrrh in each use. Check the label or call the brand directly for that detail.
