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: a glycerite liquid extract made from poke root (pokeweed). The preparation uses glycerin as a carrier and mint flavoring to mask the taste.

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 Pokeweed product and its label doesn't state a use — see Pokeweed'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 data is on file for this product. We hold no evidence that pokeweed root works for any therapeutic purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pokeweed

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.

Pokeweed is classified as unsafe for use. The safety data advises strongly against it — all parts of the plant can cause serious poisoning, with symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal upset and burning in your mouth and throat to low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, seizures, and in severe cases, death.

The safety data also advises against pokeweed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It is likely unsafe in both situations, and toxic compounds may pass to your baby.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredient we checked. However, the serious toxicity risk of pokeweed itself is the primary concern here, not medication interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Pokeweed is toxic and has caused serious poisonings. The safety profile is poor, there is no established benefit in our data, and the risks far outweigh any potential use.

Do not take this product unless your own doctor has given you specific guidance — this is a conversation you need to have with them before considering it.
