HelloPharmacist Scorecard of QCarbo20 Clear Lemon-Lime Flavor by Herbal Clean

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.

QCarbo20 Clear contains one active ingredient: juniper berry extract. The product also includes inactive ingredients—water, dextrose, fructose, artificial flavors, vegetable glycerine, citric acid, sodium benzoate, malic acid, phosphoric acid, and potassium sorbate—which serve as sweeteners, flavoring agents, and preservatives.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: body detoxification and system cleansing.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence supporting juniper berry for GERD, rheumatoid arthritis, urinary tract infections, wound healing, kidney stones, or bronchitis is insufficient in the data we hold. There's not enough reliable research to say whether this product works for any of these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Juniper

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.

Juniper berry is generally well tolerated in food amounts when used short-term, but medicinal doses may irritate your kidneys and shouldn't be used long-term. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because juniper may affect the uterus.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Topical exposure can occasionally cause skin irritation, allergies, or burn-like blistering—especially with sun exposure—and inhaling juniper pollen repeatedly may trigger respiratory allergies.
