HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ST-W by Pure Herbs
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
Low disclosure
Pure Herbs ST-W is a liquid blend of four active plant extracts. It contains dandelion root extract, cape aloe latex extract, flaxseed extract, and fig fruit extract—each contributing different compounds thought to have various effects on the body.
The product has no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for this product's ingredients is limited. Dandelion root shows insufficient reliable evidence for joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, and postoperative pain.
Aloe is rated possibly effective for acne, obesity, diabetes, psoriasis, burns, and constipation. Flaxseed is possibly effective for high cholesterol, diabetes, breast pain (mastalgia), and high blood pressure, and also for constipation.
Fig fruit shows insufficient reliable evidence for constipation, eczema (atopic dermatitis), diabetes, melasma, and vitiligo. Overall, only the aloe and flaxseed ingredients have some evidence of benefit, and that evidence is modest.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dandelion root is generally well tolerated when used as food, but supplement-strength doses are less studied and may cause allergy or stomach upset—the most common side effects are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. People sensitive to the daisy family (ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies, and related plants) may have allergic reactions, including rare anaphylaxis.
Cape aloe latex is generally well tolerated topically, but oral use carries greater risk, especially at high doses or long-term—common effects include abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea, and long-term overuse can cause serious potassium loss and muscle weakness. The facts advise against taking aloe by mouth during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Flaxseed is usually well tolerated but commonly causes bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially at higher doses; it is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and has insufficient data for breastfeeding supplement doses. Fig fruit as food is safe for most people; concentrated leaf products are less studied, and the leaf can cause photodermatitis (sun-triggered skin burn) if you're exposed to sunlight after contact—avoid excessive sun exposure while using fig leaf products.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take digoxin or other heart medications (Major risk from aloe), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, diabetes drugs or insulin, blood pressure medications, kidney/liver medications metabolized by CYP1A2, potassium-sparing water pills, lithium, quinolone antibiotics, estrogen-containing birth control or hormone therapy, other diuretics, photosensitizing drugs, or stimulant laxatives. Do not start this without clearing it with your healthcare provider if you're on any of these.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product combines four plant extracts with limited evidence and substantial medication interactions. If you take any prescription medications—especially heart drugs, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or blood pressure medications—you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Even if you're generally healthy, the interactions are numerous enough that a conversation with your own healthcare provider is important.

For each ingredient in ST-W with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Flax seed extract
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, antibiotics might interfere with the metabolism of flaxseed constituents, which could potentially alter the effects of flaxseed.
Some potential benefits of flaxseed are thought to be due to its lignan content. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a major lignan precursor, is found in high concentrations in flaxseed. SDG is converted by bacteria in the colon to the lignans enterolactone and enterodiol. Antibiotics alter the flora of the colon, which could theoretically alter the metabolism of flaxseed.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, using flaxseed in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding.
Some clinical evidence suggests that the oil contained in flaxseed can decrease platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, flaxseed might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk for hypoglycemia.
Some clinical research suggests that flaxseed can lower blood glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, flaxseed might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.
Clinical research shows that daily flaxseed consumption, especially for longer than 12 weeks, modestly reduces blood pressure.
Estrogens
Theoretically, taking flaxseed might decrease the effects of estrogens.
Flaxseed contains lignans with mild estrogenic and possible antiestrogenic effects. The lignans seem to compete with circulating endogenous estrogen and might reduce estrogen binding to estrogen receptors, resulting in an anti-estrogen effect. It is unclear if this effect transfers to exogenously administered estrogens.
Cape Aloe Latex Extract
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with cardiac glycosides.
Overuse of aloe latex can increase the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycoside drugs, such as digoxin, due to potassium depletion. Overuse of aloe, along with cardiac glycoside drugs, can increase the risk of toxicity.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, aloe gel might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aloe gel can inhibit platelet aggregation. This inhibition was greater than that seen with celecoxib, but less than that seen with aspirin.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Aloe might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests aloe gel might lower blood glucose levels and have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretic drugs.
Overuse of aloe latex might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss, increasing the risk of hypokalemia.
Stimulant Laxatives
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with stimulant laxatives.
Due to cathartic laxative effects of aloe latex, concomitant use with other stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Aloe latex has stimulant laxative effects. In some people aloe latex can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of aloe vera.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, aloe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that aloe extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Dandelion root extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.
Glucuronidated Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.
Lithium
Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.
Fig Fruit Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, fig leaf might enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of hypoglycemic drugs.
A small clinical study in patients with type 1 diabetes shows that consuming a tea made from fig leaves modestly reduces postprandial glucose levels and insulin requirements.
Insulin
Fig leaf may enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of insulin.
A small clinical study in patients with type 1 diabetes shows that consuming a tea made from fig leaves modestly reduces postprandial glucose levels and insulin requirements.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, fig might increase the risk of photosensitivity when used in combination with photosensitizing drugs.
Many cases of photodermatitis from fig leaf have been reported. Some drugs that also cause photosensitivity include amitriptyline (Elavil), quinolones (Ciprofloxacin, others), sulfa drugs (Septra, Bactrim, others), and tetracycline.
