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

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: silver linden (Tilia tomentosa) bud extract, a plant-based concentrate believed to support wellness. The extract is prepared in a base of purified water, ethanol, and glycerin.

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 Linden product and its label doesn't state a use — see Linden'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.

No effectiveness ratings are on file for silver linden in our data. We don't have enough evidence to say whether this product is effective for any specific purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Linden

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.

Linden is generally well tolerated as a tea, but human safety data are limited. One person reported an allergic reaction to linden pollen in a tea, and another reported a skin reaction (urticaria—a rash) after using a linden extract shampoo.

Safety hasn't been well studied, so talk with your doctor before you start. No pregnancy or breastfeeding data are on file for silver linden.

Because we don't know either way, speak with your doctor or pharmacist to see what's right for your situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Linden

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 — Linden.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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 lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Linden may increase lithium levels in your blood, which can raise both its effect and its side effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a single-ingredient liquid extract from linden buds. If you don't take lithium, no medication interactions are documented in our data—but that's not a guarantee none exist.

If you do take lithium, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product, as your lithium dose may need to change.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

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.

What does linden bud extract do?
Linden is believed to support general wellness, but we don't have solid evidence on file for what it actually accomplishes. If you want to know what specific benefit it's meant for, check with the maker or your pharmacist.
Is this safe to use?
Linden is generally well tolerated, but human safety data are limited and safety hasn't been well studied. One person had an allergic reaction to linden pollen in tea, and another had a skin rash from a linden extract shampoo. Talk with your doctor before you start to make sure it's right for you.
Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data for silver linden during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Because we don't know either way, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What's in this besides the linden extract?
The extract is dissolved in purified water, ethanol (alcohol), and glycerin. Those are inactive ingredients—they're there to preserve and carry the active extract.
