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: Siberian Cocklebur Fruit Extract, Dry. The extract comes from the fruit of the Siberian cocklebur plant.

The product also includes 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 Siberian Cocklebur product and its label doesn't state a use — see Siberian Cocklebur'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.

We don't hold effectiveness data for Siberian cocklebur in our records, so we can't tell you what benefit this extract is intended to provide or whether evidence supports its use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Siberian Cocklebur

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.

Siberian cocklebur is regarded as unsafe for use. The fruit contains toxic compounds and has caused serious poisoning in people who consumed it.

Initial side effects can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, low blood sugar, liver damage signs, bleeding risk, drowsiness, dizziness, shortness of breath, sweating, fever, and heart palpitations. In severe cases, these effects have progressed to dangerous drops in blood sugar, acid buildup in the blood, organ failure, and abnormal heart rhythms—sometimes fatal.

Heart palpitations can start as soon as 3 hours after you take it. Do not use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

The safety data advises against it because of the potential for toxicity and lack of reliable safety information.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Given the documented serious toxicity, organ damage risk, and Major-severity interactions with three major drug categories, this product warrants a careful conversation with your pharmacist before use—especially if you take any medications for diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, or any drug known to stress kidneys or liver. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against use.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Siberian cocklebur seedlings and seeds have caused severe hypoglycemia in humans. Hypoglycemia occurs soon after consumption and worsens with time in most cases. Do not use Siberian cocklebur in people taking medications that also lower blood glucose.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Siberian cocklebur can adversely affect the liver. It has been linked to many cases of hepatotoxicity and some cases of liver failure. Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (TriCor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo).

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Nephrotoxic Drugs

Siberian cocklebur can adversely affect the kidney. Theoretically, combining Siberian cocklebur with potentially nephrotoxic drugs might have additive harmful effects on kidney function.
Some potentially nephrotoxic drugs include cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune); aminoglycosides including amikacin (Amikin), gentamicin (Garamycin, Gentak, others), and tobramycin (Nebcin, others); nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, others), indomethacin (Indocin), naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn), piroxicam (Feldene); and numerous others.
