HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Burdock 970 mg by Solaray

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

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: burdock root at 970 mg per capsule. Burdock is a root vegetable used traditionally in cooking and herbal medicine.

The capsule itself is made with pullulan, an inactive ingredient that serves as the capsule material.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Burdock product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Burdock's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“digestion”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that burdock works for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, or atopic dermatitis (eczema) — all of these have insufficient reliable evidence to rate. This doesn't mean burdock doesn't help; it means the scientific backing isn't there yet in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Burdock

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.

Burdock is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food and for short-term use in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited. Allergic reactions including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis are rare.

A single case of liver injury was reported in someone taking an herbal tea containing burdock and other ingredients, but it's unclear whether burdock was the culprit. Contact dermatitis has occurred with prolonged use of burdock root oil or burdock plasters, sometimes appearing up to a week after application.

Don't use medicinal amounts during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data and burdock may affect the uterus. Avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding as well; the safety information isn't there.

As a food, burdock is a different story, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and want to use this as a supplement.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Burdock

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 — Burdock.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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 blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, dabigatran, or similar medications — double-check with your pharmacist before using burdock. Lab work suggests it could raise bleeding risk, though this hasn't been seen in patients.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, check with us before trying this. Burdock is well tolerated as food and for short-term use in healthy adults, but skip it in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The evidence for the health claims listed here isn't established yet in our data.

Organic Burdock 970 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Organic Burdock 970 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Burdock 970 mg has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Burdock 970 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 or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against medicinal amounts of burdock during pregnancy due to lack of safety information and possible effects on the uterus. There also isn't enough safety information for medicinal use while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether burdock as a food is okay for you.
What are the side effects?
When eaten as food, burdock is well tolerated with few noted adverse effects historically. Rarely, allergic reactions including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis have occurred. If you use burdock root oil or plasters on your skin, contact dermatitis can happen, sometimes up to a week after you start.
Does this actually work for acne, eczema, or the other conditions listed?
The evidence we hold isn't established for any of those uses — acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, or atopic dermatitis all have insufficient reliable evidence in our data. That doesn't mean it doesn't help; it means the science isn't there yet on our end.
Is there anything else in the capsule besides burdock?
Yes — the capsule is made from pullulan, which is an inactive ingredient that holds the burdock powder together. The active part is the burdock itself at 970 mg.
I'm on a blood thinner. Can I take this?
Not without checking first. Lab research shows burdock compounds may slow down platelet clumping, which could theoretically add to the blood-thinning effect of your medication and raise bleeding risk. It hasn't been seen in actual patients, but it's important enough to run by your pharmacist before you start.
