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 Solomon's Seal product and its label doesn't state a use — see Solomon's Seal'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 hold no effectiveness ratings for Solomon's Seal in our data, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows about how well it works.

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.

Limited safety data exists for Solomon's Seal in people, so use it carefully and choose a reputable product. Long-term use has been reported to cause stomach and intestinal irritation.

Large doses or overdoses may bring on nausea, diarrhea, and other digestive complaints. Safety has not been established during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it then.

There isn't enough information to consider it safe while breastfeeding either — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations.

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.

Solomon's Seal may lower blood sugar, so it's mainly a concern if you take diabetes medication — especially insulin. If that's you, check with your pharmacist before starting.

For anyone else, the limited safety data means you'll want to use it carefully and buy from a reputable brand.
