HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nutra-BBS by NutraMedix

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 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Nutra-BBS contains 4 active ingredients: elecampane root extract, jalap root extract, blackberry leaf extract, and calycophyllum spruceanum bark extract, blended together in a liquid form. The product also contains mineral water and ethanol 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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Microbial support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Microbial balance, Digestive health, Immune support.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence on these ingredients is limited. For elecampane root extract, there isn't enough reliable data to rate its use for acne or cough.

No effectiveness ratings are on file for jalap root extract, blackberry leaf extract, or calycophyllum spruceanum bark extract in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane Jalap Blackberry

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 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Elecampane root extract can trigger allergic reactions and stomach upset, especially in people sensitive to plants in the ragweed and daisy family. At high doses, it may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and serious effects like muscle spasms.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient information. Jalap root extract is a harsh laxative that causes severe cramping and dehydration; it's generally not recommended for routine use.

The safety data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Blackberry leaf extract as a medicinal supplement lacks robust safety data, so caution is warranted, though the fruit itself as food is safe.

We have no safety information on file for calycophyllum spruceanum bark extract.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elecampane Jalap Blackberry

Meds to double-check

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Elecampane, Jalap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 346 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.

Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take stimulant laxatives, water pills (diuretics), blood thinners like warfarin, heart medications such as digoxin, or lithium. Also flag any sedative or CNS depressant drugs you're on, and any other prescription medications.

Elecampane Root Extract full monograph & interactions

Jalap root extract5 drug types · 100 drugs

Stimulant Laxatives

Jalap has stimulant laxative effects. Concomitant use of jalap with other laxatives may lead to electrolyte and fluid depletion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Jalap has diuretic and stimulant laxative effects. Theoretically, overuse or abuse of jalap might increase potassium depletion and increase the risk for toxicity with cardiac glycoside drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Jalap has diuretic effects. Overuse of jalap might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking jalap along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Jalap has stimulant laxative effects. In some people jalap can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of jalap.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Jalap has diuretic effects. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, jalap might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Nutra-BBS by NutraMedix: Common Questions

Does Nutra-BBS by NutraMedix interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nutra-BBS has a known interaction with 346 medications, including 21 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nutra-BBS contains 4 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 Nutra-BBS if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it. Elecampane and jalap are rated unsafe for pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of safety information or known risks. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before considering any herbal product while pregnant or nursing.
What's elecampane root extract supposed to do?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for acne or cough. It's included in this blend, but its actual benefit hasn't been well established.
Will this make me drowsy?
Elecampane root extract may have sedative effects, so it's possible. If you're already taking sedatives or other drugs that slow your brain activity, the drowsiness could be worse — that's why you need to check your medications with us first.
Is jalap root just a gentle laxative?
No — jalap is a harsh purgative that can cause severe cramping and dehydration. It's a strong stimulant laxative, not a gentle option, and it carries real risks if you're on certain medications or use it too much.
What's in this product besides the active ingredients?
Nutra-BBS contains mineral water and ethanol as inactive ingredients — the liquid base for the formula.
