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.

Does it work?

Insufficient 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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Support for menstrual and postpartum bleeding.
  • We looked for evidence on: Menorrhagia, Postpartum complications.
  • The closest evidence on file: Shepherd's Purse is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Postpartum complications (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Shepherd's Purse is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Menorrhagia.

The evidence for shepherd's purse isn't established in our data. The product is traditionally used for postpartum complications and heavy menstrual bleeding, but the available studies don't provide reliable evidence to rate how well it actually works for either condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Shepherd's Purse

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.

Shepherd's purse appears well tolerated in small amounts when used short-term, though human safety data are limited. Adverse effects documented in traditional use include sedation, high or low blood pressure, abnormal thyroid function, abnormal menstruation, and heart palpitations.

Do not use during pregnancy—the safety data advise against it because it may stimulate the uterus. There isn't enough safety information to use while breastfeeding, so avoid it then too.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before use if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Shepherd's Purse.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 264 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.

Check before you start if you take any central nervous system depressants—sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs, or other sedatives—or if you're on thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Both are moderate-level interactions that could affect how your medications work or how you feel.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product might appeal to someone looking for traditional herbal support, but human safety data are sparse and the evidence for its claimed uses isn't established. If you take any sedative medications or thyroid hormone replacement, check with your pharmacist first.

Definitely skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
