HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sheep Sorrel Alcohol Free 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: Sheep Sorrel Herb Extract, Dry. It's a liquid form made from the sorrel plant.

The extract is suspended in glycerin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Sorrel product and its label doesn't state a use — see Sorrel'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 what sorrel actually does isn't established in the data we hold. Studies have looked at it for bronchitis, breast cancer, and rhinosinusitis (sinus inflammation), but right now there's insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of these.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sorrel

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.

Sorrel is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but concentrated or medicinal doses raise some concerns. The herb is high in oxalates — compounds that in large amounts can damage your kidneys and may cause kidney stones.

There's one reported case of kidney inflammation in a child after consuming wild sorrel. A small number of people may also have an allergic reaction, especially if they're allergic to weed pollen.

Safety data for medicinal or concentrated use is limited. During breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid concentrated supplements.

In pregnancy, the data suggests it's possibly safe, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you personally.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sorrel

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 — Sorrel.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 169 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.

Before you take this product, double-check if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, or if you take any OATP substrates — a large category of drugs including the antihistamine fexofenadine. Use the interaction checker below with your specific medications.

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.

This single-ingredient sorrel extract may appeal to those looking for herbal support, but it's not your grab-and-go supplement if you take blood thinners or certain other medications. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of kidney issues, check with your pharmacist first.

Run your exact medications through the interaction tool on this page before starting.

Sheep Sorrel Herb Extract, Dry3 drug types · 169 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, sorrel might cause additive effects and side effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, sorrel has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of fexofenadine by reducing its absorption from the gut.
In vitro research shows that an ethanol extract of sorrel inhibits organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1A2 (OATP1A2), which transports fexofenadine from the intestine into cells. In rats, concomitant administration of sorrel extract with fexofenadine reduces oral absorption of fexofenadine and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC).

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of OATP substrates by reducing their absorption from the gut.
In vitro research shows that sorrel inhibits OATP1A2. Theoretically it may inhibit other OATPs. The OATPs are expressed in the small intestine and liver and transport drugs into cells. Inhibition of OATP may reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Sheep Sorrel Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Sheep Sorrel Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sheep Sorrel Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 169 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sheep Sorrel Alcohol Free 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 this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data suggests it's possibly safe in pregnancy, but that's not a guarantee — talk with your doctor for personalized advice. During breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information on medicinal doses, so it's best to avoid concentrated supplements and chat with your pharmacist or doctor.
Does sorrel actually work for anything?
We don't have solid evidence yet. Studies have looked at sorrel for bronchitis, breast cancer, and sinus inflammation, but right now there's not enough reliable data to say how well it works for any of these conditions.
What are the side effects?
In food amounts it's generally fine, but concentrated doses raise concerns. The big one is oxalates — in large amounts they can damage your kidneys and cause kidney stones. A small number of people may also have an allergic reaction, especially if they're allergic to weed pollen.
What is sheep sorrel?
Sheep sorrel is a plant. This product is an extract of the dried herb, mixed with glycerin and water. It's used in herbal medicine, though the evidence for what it does isn't established yet.
