HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Burdock Root by Ra Herbals

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 1 active ingredient.

This liquid contains one active ingredient: burdock root. It's a single-ingredient product steeped in a base of cane alcohol and distilled water.

Burdock is a plant root that's been used traditionally in herbal medicine for various skin and wellness purposes.

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 Burdock product and its label doesn't state a use — see Burdock'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 we hold doesn't establish that burdock works for the conditions listed on the label—acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and atopic dermatitis (eczema). For all of these, the research is insufficient to rate its effectiveness.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we don't have reliable evidence in our data to say either way.

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 used as a food or for short-term use in healthy adults, though human safety data are limited overall. Allergic reactions—including contact dermatitis and, very rarely, severe reactions—have been reported.

One case of liver injury was reported in someone taking a detox tea containing burdock and other herbs, but it's unclear whether burdock was the cause. Don't use medicinal amounts during pregnancy; there isn't enough safety data and burdock may affect the uterus.

Similarly, avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

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.

Check all blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs with the search tool on this page—that includes warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and similar medications. Burdock may theoretically increase your bleeding risk if combined with these.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Burdock root is a traditional herbal remedy that's been used for centuries with few noted side effects, but the research supporting it for specific health claims is thin. It's safest for someone looking to try a traditional remedy who isn't pregnant, breastfeeding, or on blood-thinning medications.

Talk to your pharmacist before adding it to your routine, especially if you take any anticlotting drugs.

Does Organic Burdock Root by Ra Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Burdock Root 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 Root 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 while pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against medicinal amounts of burdock during pregnancy because there isn't enough information and it may affect the uterus. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information to recommend medicinal use of burdock while breastfeeding. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
What are the side effects?
Burdock is well tolerated overall. Allergic reactions are rare but possible—contact dermatitis and, very rarely, severe allergic reactions have been reported. One case of liver inflammation was reported, though it's unclear if burdock alone was responsible.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Burdock has a long history of use with few adverse effects, but human safety data for long-term medicinal use are limited. Talk with your pharmacist about how long you plan to take it.
Does this actually work for acne, eczema, or colds?
The evidence we have isn't reliable enough to say. Burdock has been used traditionally for these and other conditions, but we don't have established proof of effectiveness in our data.
