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: rosemary leaf and stem extract, a concentrated form of the herb. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 Rosemary's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Rosemary 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: Memory — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Rosemary extract is rated possibly effective for memory support based on available evidence. For other uses—including age-related cognitive decline, alopecia areata, and fatty liver disease—the evidence isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary

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.

Rosemary is safe in the amounts you'd use in cooking. Concentrated extracts and undiluted essential oils require caution.

Topical use can occasionally trigger allergic reactions, contact dermatitis, or photosensitivity (increased sun sensitivity) in people prone to them. Rarely, occupational exposure to rosemary dust has caused asthma in sensitive individuals.

The undiluted oil and its camphor component might trigger seizures. During pregnancy, food amounts are likely fine, but medicinal or large doses should be avoided.

During breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on medicinal doses, so avoid them and stick to normal food amounts. If you're pregnant or nursing and considering this supplement, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rosemary extract may help with memory, but it's one to double-check before you start if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or salicylate-containing pain relievers. People with sensitivities to herbs or a history of seizures should be cautious.
