HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Parasite Cleanse by Herb Stop

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This liquid blend contains 3 active herbal ingredients: Black Walnut Husk Extract, Wormwood herb extract, and Clove Bud Extract, along with grape alcohol and water as inactive ingredients. Each is traditionally used in herbal parasite-cleansing formulas, though the specific roles and potency of each component in this proprietary blend aren't detailed on the label.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports healthy digestive flora.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Gastritis, Nausea and vomiting, Diarrhea, Intestinal parasites — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Clove is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Clove is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Nausea and vomiting.
  • Also on file: Wormwood is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Gastritis.

The evidence for these ingredients is thin. Black Walnut Husk Extract has insufficient reliable evidence for the health claims typically made about it, such as heart health or wound healing.

Wormwood herb extract likewise has insufficient reliable evidence for biliary disorders, Crohn disease, depression, or digestive upset. Clove Bud Extract shows possibly effective evidence for one narrow use — ventilator-associated pneumonia (a hospital-acquired lung infection in mechanically ventilated patients) — but insufficient reliable evidence for cough, pain, or digestive issues.

Overall, the data we hold doesn't establish that this product works for parasite cleansing.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Walnut Wormwood Clove

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 3 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.

Black Walnut Husk Extract is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but human safety data are limited and long-term use isn't well studied. The leaf, bark, and hull (which this product likely contains) are high in tannins and can cause gastrointestinal upset and, in rare cases, allergic reactions in people sensitive to tree nuts.

Don't use it during pregnancy (not enough safety information) or while breastfeeding (same reason). Wormwood herb extract is safe for short-term use in properly prepared doses, but contains thujone, a neurotoxin that can be dangerous in higher amounts.

Orally, the oil can cause muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting; in rare cases, kidney toxicity, muscle breakdown, and seizures. It's unsafe in pregnancy (may stimulate the uterus) and best avoided while breastfeeding.

Clove Bud Extract is well tolerated as a food spice, but concentrated clove oil is irritating and can be toxic in large doses — even small amounts (5–10 mL of oil) can be toxic in children. There isn't enough data on medicinal doses, so use caution.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Black Walnut Wormwood Clove

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Clove, Wormwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; seizure medications; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,015 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 you start, double-check this product with your pharmacist if you take anticonvulsant (seizure) drugs, antidiabetes medications, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, or any drug metabolized by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, or CYP2C9 pathways — a broad group including many heart, blood pressure, and psychiatric medications. If you take ibuprofen, mention that too.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product isn't established to work for parasite cleansing in our data. If you take seizure medication, blood thinners, antidiabetes drugs, or medications processed by your liver, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it — the interactions are real and could affect how your drugs work.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it; there's not enough safety information for that time.

Parasite Cleanse by Herb Stop: Common Questions

Does Parasite Cleanse by Herb Stop interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parasite Cleanse has a known interaction with 1,014 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Parasite Cleanse contains 3 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.
Does Black Walnut Husk Extract actually kill parasites?
The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence for that claim. We can't tell you it works for parasite cleansing or any other specific health goal based on what's established about this ingredient.
Is it safe to take this while pregnant?
No. Black Walnut and Wormwood are both best avoided during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety information, and Wormwood may stimulate the uterus. Talk to your doctor before taking any herbal supplement during pregnancy.
What does Wormwood do, and why is it in here?
Wormwood herb extract is traditionally used in cleansing blends, but the evidence for it is insufficient for the conditions it's often claimed to treat. It does contain thujone, a neurotoxin, so it's best used short-term and in properly prepared amounts.
Can I take this with my seizure medication?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Wormwood may interfere with how anticonvulsants work, and your seizure control could be affected. This is a Moderate-severity interaction, so don't skip this conversation.
What are the most common side effects?
Black Walnut Husk can cause stomach upset. Wormwood oil can cause muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting. Clove is generally well tolerated when used as a spice, but concentrated clove oil can irritate your mouth and throat and cause burning or tingling. If you have tree nut allergies, Black Walnut could trigger a reaction.
