HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shu Di Huang 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.

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: certified organic Shu Di Huang, a liquid extract made from the dried, prepared root of Rehmannia glutinosa. Rehmannia is used in traditional Chinese medicine to support kidney and blood health.

The only other ingredient listed is menstruum, which is the liquid base used to extract the herb.

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 we hold shows rehmannia is possibly effective for chronic kidney disease. For other uses—aplastic anemia, atopic disease (allergies and eczema), osteoporosis, diabetes, and diabetic kidney complications—the data is insufficient to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means human studies haven't established reliable proof yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rehmannia

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 is used traditionally, but human safety data are limited and quality varies between products. The safety information available advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough data to know it's safe for you or your baby.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rehmannia

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 — Rehmannia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 258 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 start Shu Di Huang, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications or diabetes drugs. Both carry moderate interaction risks: rehmannia may lower blood pressure too far or drop your blood sugar dangerously low.

Altogether, these interactions span 258 individual medications.

The bottom line

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

Shu Di Huang may be worth considering if you have chronic kidney disease and are interested in traditional herbal support. If you take blood pressure or diabetes medications, check your exact drugs with your doctor or pharmacist first—this herb could interact with both.

Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should skip it unless their healthcare provider advises otherwise.
