HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Radish by Herbal Terra

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: certified organic dried sprouting seed liquid extract of radish (Raphanus sativus). The extract is suspended in menstruum, which is the liquid carrier used to prepare herbal extracts.

Radish is a cruciferous vegetable commonly eaten in salads and cooked dishes, and this supplement concentrates it in liquid form.

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 data we hold rates radish as having insufficient reliable evidence for both biliary disorders and diabetes. In other words, we don't yet have strong enough human studies to say whether it actually works for these uses.

Animal research suggests radish may lower blood glucose, but that doesn't mean it will do the same in people or at the dose in this product.

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 eaten as food is widely consumed and generally well tolerated. However, the safety data for concentrated radish supplements is not well studied.

The facts we hold note that large amounts of radish may irritate the stomach lining and cause mild indigestion; one clinical trial involving a product that included radish (alongside camu camu, acerola, honey, and tapioca) reported mild indigestion, though it's unclear whether radish alone was responsible. A rare case of allergy to radish has been reported, with symptoms including throat tightness and hives.

We hold no pregnancy or lactation safety data for this ingredient — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 (including insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agonists, or any other blood sugar medication), check your exact medications with the interaction tool before starting this product and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that it's safe for you.

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 is a food vegetable, and normal dietary amounts are safe for most people. This concentrated supplement form hasn't been studied extensively, so if you take diabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the theoretical risk of low blood sugar is real enough to warrant confirmation.

Anyone with a known radish allergy should avoid it.

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 Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Radish by Herbal Terra 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.
Is radish extract safe to take every day?
Radish eaten as food is safe in normal amounts. The safety of concentrated radish supplements taken daily isn't well studied, so it's worth discussing with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a stomach condition.
Can radish help with diabetes or blood sugar?
Animal research suggests radish can lower blood glucose, but we don't have reliable human studies yet. The evidence is rated insufficient, so we can't say whether this product actually works for diabetes.
What are the side effects of radish supplements?
Large amounts of radish may irritate your stomach and cause mild indigestion. A rare case of allergy has been reported, with throat tightness and hives. If you notice stomach upset or any allergic symptoms, stop and talk with your pharmacist.
Why is there a caution about unwashed raw sprouts?
Raw sprouts, whether radish or any other type, can carry bacteria. Since this is a processed extract, that risk is lower, but the caution reminds you that raw sprout products should be handled carefully or avoided altogether.
What's menstruum, and why is it in this product?
Menstruum is the liquid carrier — usually alcohol, water, or a mix — used to extract and preserve the active compounds from the radish. It helps deliver the radish extract in liquid form.
