HelloPharmacist Scorecard of UT Formula by NHC Natural Healthy Concepts

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 24, 2026

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Anthocran” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (120 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

UT Formula contains 3 active ingredients. Dandelion leaf extract is the ingredient with documented interactions; the formula also includes proanthocyanidins and ellirose, which are plant-derived compounds.

The inactive ingredients are the capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose (a binder), magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

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 Dandelion product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dandelion'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.

The evidence we hold on dandelion leaf extract for the purposes listed on this product — joint pain, tonsillitis, postoperative swelling, and postoperative pain — is insufficient to rate it as effective. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means reliable research backing these specific uses isn't established in our data.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this formula fits your needs.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dandelion

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.

Dandelion is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but supplement-strength doses are less well studied. The most common side effects reported with dandelion are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort.

Rarely, people sensitive to dandelion have had serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. Because dandelion is related to ragweed and other plants in the daisy family, anyone with allergies to those plants should be cautious.

There isn't enough reliable information on dandelion's safety while breastfeeding, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
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 — Dandelion.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 457 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 taking UT Formula, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills), lithium, or any drugs processed by your liver through CYP1A2 or glucuronidation pathways. Dandelion may change how these work in your body.

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.

Dandelion Leaf Extract7 drug types · 457 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

UT Formula by NHC Natural Healthy Concepts: Common Questions

Does UT Formula by NHC Natural Healthy Concepts interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, UT Formula has a known interaction with 457 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
UT Formula contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 UT Formula if I'm on a blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Dandelion in this formula may increase bruising and bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can tell you if it's safe for your specific situation.
What are the most common side effects of UT Formula?
Dandelion, the main active ingredient, most often causes diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort when taken by mouth. Allergic reactions are less common but can happen, especially in people sensitive to ragweed or related plants.
Is UT Formula safe to take while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's okay for you while nursing — they can give you personalized advice.
Can I take UT Formula if I have diabetes and take diabetes medication?
Dandelion may lower blood sugar further, so combining it with your diabetes drug could raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this formula.
Does this product actually work for joint pain or postoperative swelling?
The evidence we have for dandelion's use on those conditions isn't strong enough to rate it as effective. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it makes sense for what you're dealing with.
What's the difference between the ingredients I can see listed and what's inside the capsule?
The active ingredients are dandelion leaf extract, proanthocyanidins, and ellirose — the compounds meant to have a therapeutic effect. The inactive ingredients — the capsule shell, cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — are there to hold it together and deliver the actives.
