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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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: Turkey Rhubarb Root Extract at 1000 mg per capsule. Rhubarb root works as a stimulant laxative — it triggers bowel contractions to move stool.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder.

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 Rhubarb's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Rhubarb 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: Menopausal symptoms — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Pancreatitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence on turkey rhubarb is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for pancreatitis and menopausal symptoms based on available research.

For constipation, appendicitis, nasopharyngeal cancer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, we don't yet have reliable evidence to say whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rhubarb

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.

Rhubarb root is generally well tolerated when taken in medicinal doses, though cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and gastrointestinal discomfort are common. In rare cases, anaphylaxis has been reported.

Long-term or heavy use can cause potassium loss, fluid loss, and kidney damage — this is a real concern if you take it regularly. The safety data advises against medicinal rhubarb during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it may stimulate the uterus and bowels, and laxative compounds can pass into breast milk.

The bottom line

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

Turkey rhubarb is an option if you need a laxative boost and have no kidney or liver problems and aren't on medications that interact with it. Don't use it long-term — it's meant for short-term relief.

If you take any prescription medication, especially for your heart, blood pressure, or kidneys, check with your pharmacist first.

Turkey Rhubarb Root Extract8 drug types · 658 drugs

Corticosteroids

Theoretically, frequent and high doses of rhubarb might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with corticosteroids.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might compound corticosteroid-induced potassium loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Theoretically, taking rhubarb with cyclosporine might reduce cyclosporine levels.
Animal research shows that co-administration of rhubarb decoction 0.25 or 1 gram/kg with cyclosporine 2.5 mg/kg, decreases cyclosporine maximum plasma concentration and overall exposure levels when compared with taking cyclosporine alone. The authors theorize that rhubarb might reduce cyclosporine bioavailability by inducing of P-glycoprotein and/or cytochrome P450 3A4. However, since rhubarb was administered as a single oral dose and enzyme induction usually occurs after multiple doses, it is possible that cyclosporine absorption was actually reduced via rhubarb's stimulant laxative effects. Also, the composition of the rhubarb decoction was not described.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, overuse of rhubarb might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with digoxin.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might cause potassium depletion, increasing the risk of digoxin toxicity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, frequent and high doses of rhubarb might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might cause potassium depletion and compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of rhubarb with potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage.
Some animal research suggests that anthraquinones in rhubarb might have hepatotoxic effects. Also, rhubarb use has been linked to at least 24 cases of liver injury, although details on the dose of rhubarb and duration of use in these cases is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nephrotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, long-term use of anthraquinones from rhubarb might increase the risk of nephrotoxicity when used with nephrotoxic drugs.
The anthraquinone constituents of rhubarb have been shown to induce nephrotoxicity in animal research. Additionally, in a case report, a 23-year old female presented with kidney failure after taking 6 tablets of a proprietary slimming agent (found to contain the anthraquinones emodin and aloe-emodin from rhubarb) daily for 6 weeks and then adding diclofenac 25 mg 4 times daily for 2 days. The authors postulate that the anthraquinone constituents of rhubarb contributed to the renal dysfunction, and the addition of diclofenac, a nephrotoxic drug, led to renal failure. Until more is known, advise patients to avoid taking rhubarb if they are taking other potentially nephrotoxic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, rhubarb might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with other stimulant laxatives.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Concomitant use with stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, excessive use of rhubarb might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects and 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 rhubarb.

Turkey Rhubarb 1000 mg by Oomph Naturals: Common Questions

Does Turkey Rhubarb 1000 mg by Oomph Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Turkey Rhubarb 1000 mg has a known interaction with 658 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Turkey Rhubarb 1000 mg 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 nursing?
No. The safety data advises against medicinal rhubarb during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus. Also avoid it while breastfeeding, since laxative compounds can pass into breast milk. Talk to your doctor if you need help with constipation during these times.
What are the most common side effects?
Cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and gastrointestinal discomfort. These are normal with stimulant laxatives. Rash is possible if you use it topically. Rare but serious: anaphylaxis.
How long can I take this for?
The safety data says not to use rhubarb root long-term. It can cause potassium loss, fluid loss, and kidney damage with chronic use or abuse. Use it short-term only.
Will this actually help with my constipation?
We don't have reliable evidence yet that rhubarb root works for constipation, though it does act as a stimulant laxative. Talk to your pharmacist about other proven options if you need steady relief.
Is this safe for my kidneys?
Not for long-term use. Rhubarb's active compounds can damage kidney tissue on their own, and chronic use has been linked to kidney problems including one case of kidney failure. If you have any kidney concerns, check with your doctor first.
What's the difference between rhubarb stalk and rhubarb root?
The stalks are a safe food. The root used in this supplement is the medicinal form — it's stronger and carries more risk, especially with long-term use. Never eat rhubarb leaf, which contains toxic oxalic acid.
