Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Rehmannia's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Rehmannia for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence supporting Rehmannia is limited. It's rated possibly effective for chronic kidney disease (CKD).

For aplastic anemia, atopic disease (allergic conditions), osteoporosis, diabetes, and diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage from diabetes), there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

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.

Rehmannia has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, but human safety data are sparse and product quality varies widely between suppliers. The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation.

No adverse effects were reported in our data, though that doesn't mean they don't occur.
