HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Roasted Dandelion Root by Traditional Medicinals

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.
  • “All Herbal Ingredients” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: dandelion root, roasted. There are no other inactive ingredients or fillers listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Dandelion's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive and liver support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Bile production, Gallbladder function, Detoxification.
  • The closest evidence on file: Dandelion is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Dandelion is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Flatulence.

The evidence for dandelion root is limited. According to the data we hold, there is insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, or postoperative pain.

You're not going to find a clear yes-or-no on whether it works for these uses — the research just isn't established enough in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dandelion

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.

Dandelion is generally well tolerated when used as food, but supplement-strength doses are less studied. The most common side effects from oral use are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort.

A small number of sensitive individuals have experienced anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction), and some people develop dermatitis when dandelion is applied to skin. Because dandelion comes from the ragweed family (Asteraceae), it can trigger allergic reactions in anyone sensitive to that plant family — members include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, and daisies.

There isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so caution is advised if you're nursing; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance. Data on pregnancy safety is not on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dandelion

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 — Dandelion.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 457 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 pharmacist if you use blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, potassium-sparing diuretics, lithium, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, or any drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 or processed through glucuronidation. All of these have documented moderate-severity interactions with dandelion.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Dandelion root tea is worth a conversation with your pharmacist if you're interested in it — especially before you start. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, potassium-sparing water pills, lithium, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, or drugs processed through CYP1A2 metabolism, you'll want to double-check your specific medications first.

Anyone with a ragweed or plant-family allergy should be cautious.

Dandelion7 drug types · 457 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
