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.

Shu Di Huang by Herbal Terra is a single-ingredient liquid extract of certified organic Shu Di Huang (prepared rehmannia root). The product contains one active ingredient — the dried prepared root of Rehmannia glutinosa — extracted into liquid form for easier dosing.

The other ingredient listed is menstruum, an inactive ingredient used in the extraction process.

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 for rehmannia is mixed. For chronic kidney disease, there is possibly effective evidence — meaning some research supports its use, though more data would help confirm it.

For aplastic anemia, atopic disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and diabetic nephropathy, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those conditions.

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 generally used in traditional medicine, but human safety data are limited and quality varies between products, so caution is warranted. We don't hold enough safety information to recommend it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the safety data advises against use in both cases.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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 take this product, check your exact blood pressure medications and diabetes drugs with your doctor or pharmacist. Rehmannia may increase the risk of excessively low blood pressure or low blood sugar when combined with these drug types — both are Moderate severity concerns.

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're interested in traditional herbal support, especially for chronic kidney disease. If you take blood pressure or diabetes medications, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — the interactions are Moderate and could affect how those drugs work.

Because human safety data are limited and quality varies, it's worth discussing this supplement with your own healthcare provider before you start.

Shu Di Huang by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Shu Di Huang by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shu Di Huang has a known interaction with 258 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Shu Di Huang 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either case. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What does rehmannia actually do?
Rehmannia has the strongest evidence for chronic kidney disease, where it's possibly effective. For other conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis, and atopic disease, we don't have enough reliable data yet to say whether it works.
Is this product safe?
Rehmannia is generally used in traditional medicine, but human safety data are limited and quality varies between products. That's worth keeping in mind, especially if you take medications — the interactions with blood pressure and diabetes drugs are Moderate concerns.
Are there any side effects listed for this product?
We don't hold adverse effects data for this product in our records, but limited human safety data means side effects may not be fully characterized.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
Not without checking first. Rehmannia may lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with your medication could push your pressure too low. Run it by your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
What about my diabetes medication?
Same caution applies — rehmannia may lower blood sugar, and combining it with your diabetes drug could increase the risk of low blood sugar. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
