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 New Jersey Tea product and its label doesn't state a use — see New Jersey Tea'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.

We don't hold effectiveness data for Red Root in our records, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows it does or doesn't do.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Red Root has very little modern safety data available, so the advice is to use it cautiously and under professional guidance if you choose to take it. The safety data in pregnancy and while breastfeeding isn't reliable enough to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice about whether it's right for you before or during pregnancy, or if you're nursing.

Formula

Discussion: Native to North America, red root is a perennial shrub with white ornamental flowers that bloom in summertime. Red root is also sometimes referred to as "Jersey Tea" because the herb was used as a tea substitute during the American Revolutionary War. Red root has a long history of use among Native Americans and early European settlers for its wide array of health benefits.
