HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh Extract 650 mg by Nutricost

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: myrrh extract at 650 mg per capsule. Myrrh is a resin sourced from certain trees and has been used traditionally in mouth rinses, topical preparations, and oral formulations.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — hypromellose, rice flour, and stearic acid — which are fillers and binders.

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 extract is limited or mixed. For schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection), myrrh is rated likely ineffective.

For back pain, cancer, common cold, dental peri-implantitis, and Crohn disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works or not. If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the evidence actually supports.

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's oral safety hasn't been well studied, so caution is warranted with long-term use by mouth. Short-term topical or mouth-rinse use is considered likely fine.

Common side effects at higher doses can include diarrhea; severe lower abdominal pain has been reported when myrrh was consumed in high amounts. Because myrrh is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, the safety data advises against it during pregnancy.

Not enough information is available to know whether myrrh is safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or any antidiabetes drug — myrrh may reduce warfarin's effectiveness and could increase the risk of low blood sugar with diabetes medications.

The bottom line

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

Myrrh extract may help with certain traditional uses, but evidence for most health claims is lacking or insufficient. The bigger concern is that it interacts with blood thinners like warfarin and diabetes medications — so if you take either of those, you need to clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant people should avoid it. For everyone else, keep doses moderate and stick to short-term use until more safety data emerges.

Myrrh Extract 650 mg by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does Myrrh Extract 650 mg by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh Extract 650 mg 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 Extract 650 mg 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 this if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against myrrh during pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. One case report documented severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh, which resolved when she stopped. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Is myrrh safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information available to know either way. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What side effects might I notice?
At typical doses, side effects are uncommon. At higher doses (2–4 grams), some people report diarrhea. If you take it topically, skin irritation is possible.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term use is considered likely fine, but the safety data for long-term oral use isn't well established. Talk with your pharmacist about how long you're planning to take it.
Does myrrh actually work for back pain or colds?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. For back pain and common cold, we don't have reliable data yet. For schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection), it's rated likely ineffective.
What's in the capsule besides myrrh?
The capsule contains hypromellose, rice flour, and stearic acid — inactive ingredients that help hold and deliver the myrrh extract.
