HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Radish by Hawaii Pharm

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: Radish Seed Extract, Dry, supplied as a liquid concentrate. The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — standard carriers and preservatives in liquid herbal supplements.

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

The evidence for radish as a treatment for biliary disorders or diabetes is insufficient to rate. While animal research suggests radish extract and juice can reduce blood glucose, human studies establishing real-world benefit are not yet solid enough to make a confident claim about its effectiveness for either condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Radish

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.

Radish is widely eaten as food and is generally well tolerated in normal dietary amounts. The safety notes advise caution with concentrated supplements (not just food portions) and unwashed raw sprouts, since long-term safety of high-dose extracts hasn't been thoroughly studied.

A rare allergy to radish has been reported, with symptoms including throat tightness and hives; large amounts may irritate your stomach lining or cause mild indigestion, though it's unclear whether that's radish alone or interaction with other ingredients in a combined product. Data on safety during pregnancy and lactation is not on file for radish.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Radish

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 — Radish.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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 antidiabetes drugs (like metformin, insulin, or sulfonylureas), double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Animal data suggests radish can reduce blood glucose, which might amplify the blood-sugar-lowering effect of your medication and raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

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.

Radish Seed Extract may interest you if you're exploring herbal options for biliary or metabolic support, but the evidence for real benefit isn't established yet. If you take diabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — it could lower your blood sugar further.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding plans should be discussed with your own healthcare provider.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, radish might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that radish extract, juice, and sprouts can reduce glucose levels. Animal research also shows that radish root juice 300 mg/kg reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose in a rat model of diabetes, with effects similar to glibenclamide.

Radish by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Radish by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Radish has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Radish contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Radish can lower blood sugar in animal studies, so it may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes drugs. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
Could I have an allergic reaction to radish?
Allergies are rare, but one case has been reported with throat tightness and hives. If you've never eaten radish or radish sprouts before, start cautiously or talk with your pharmacist.
What does radish do, and does it actually work?
Radish has traditionally been used for biliary (gallbladder and liver) and metabolic support, but human evidence of real benefit for either isn't strong enough to rate as effective. Animal studies are promising, but more research in people is needed.
Will this upset my stomach?
Most people tolerate normal food amounts fine. Concentrated supplements and large amounts may cause mild indigestion or stomach irritation, so start with a small dose if you're new to it.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on radish supplements for pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice, since food amounts are different from concentrated extracts.
