HelloPharmacist Scorecard of VVH-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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2,006 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

VVH-W contains six active ingredients: Chickweed aerial parts extract, Dog Rose Fruit Extract, Mullein Leaf Extract, Calendula flower extract, White Oak Bark extract, and American Chestnut Leaf Extract. The product is formulated as a liquid with no other inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports maintenance of healthy veins and blood vessels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Venous leg ulcers, Vascular health, Circulation, Capillary integrity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Calendula is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Venous leg ulcers (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for what VVH-W does is limited. Chickweed has insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for diabetes, high cholesterol, or weight management.

Mullein Leaf Extract similarly shows insufficient evidence for bronchitis, asthma, migraines, cough, or diarrhea. Calendula flower extract lacks sufficient evidence for acne, bacterial vaginosis, burns, COPD, liver disease, or radiation skin damage.

American Chestnut Leaf Extract is insufficiently studied for cough or sore throat. We hold no effectiveness ratings for Dog Rose Fruit Extract or White Oak Bark extract.

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 4 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The ingredients in VVH-W are generally well tolerated for short-term use, but long-term or detailed human safety data are limited across the board. Chickweed and Mullein extract have been reported to cause contact dermatitis when applied to skin; Calendula can trigger allergic reactions — both topically and when taken by mouth — especially in people sensitive to ragweed, chrysanthemums, or other plants in the daisy family.

White Oak Bark and American Chestnut Leaf both have high tannin content, which can irritate your digestive tract and may affect how your body absorbs nutrients. Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding: Chickweed is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy, but Mullein, Calendula, White Oak Bark, and American Chestnut Leaf all have insufficient safety data — the facts advise avoiding them during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Dog Rose Fruit Extract has no pregnancy/breastfeeding safety data on file. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

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?
  • 3 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Calendula, Mullein, Rose Hip.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; cancer treatments; lithium.
  • For scale: 441 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.

Check with your pharmacist before using VVH-W if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners), where Mullein Leaf Extract may have Minor additive effects. Also double-check if you use central nervous system depressants (sedating or calming medications), where Calendula may theoretically add to the effect.

We could not verify interactions for Dog Rose Fruit Extract.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

VVH-W may be worth considering if you're interested in herbal support, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't established in our data. The main medication concern is if you take blood thinners or sedating drugs — check those with your pharmacist first.

Because several ingredients are not well studied, especially in pregnancy and breastfeeding, it's a good idea to talk with your pharmacist before you start.

Calendula flower extract1 drug type · 248 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, calendula might have additive effects when used with CNS depressants, although this appears to be unlikely.
Although some animal research has suggested that a saponoside constituent in calendula may have sedative effects, calendula has been used for over 30 years without reports of sedation in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Calendula flower extract full monograph & interactions

Dog Rose Fruit Extract8 drug types · 213 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents but might also reduce the oxidative damage caused by certain alkylating agents.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. Further, some animal research suggests that the antioxidant effects of rose hip might attenuate cyclophosphamide-induced testicular toxicity. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants found in rose hip, such as vitamin C, have on the effectiveness and adverse effects of chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aluminum

Theoretically, rose hip might increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Theoretically, vitamin C increases the absorption of aluminum. Concomitant use might increase aluminum absorption, but the clinical significance of this is unknown. Administer rose hip two hours before or four hours after antacids.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that a constituent of rose hip, rugosin E, can induce platelet aggregation. This has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antitumor Antibiotics

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
Rose hip contains the antioxidant vitamin C. There is concern that antioxidants might reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as antitumor antibiotics. In contrast, other researchers theorize that antioxidants might make antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% have occured under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. However, increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when women who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of lithium.
Rose hip is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, rose hip might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the clearance of aspirin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C can decrease the urinary excretion of salicylates, increasing plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and aspirin is unlikely.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of warfarin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. High doses of vitamin C may reduce the response to warfarin, possibly by causing diarrhea and reducing warfarin absorption. This occurred in two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C, and resulted in decreased prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily of vitamin C can also reduce warfarin absorption, but this does not seem to be clinically significant. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and warfarin is unlikely.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Dog Rose Fruit Extract full monograph & interactions

Mullein Leaf Extract1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Lab tests on extracts from different parts of common and dense-flowered mullein plants show that they do have some blood-thinning effects, as they increase the time it takes for blood to clot. This is likely due to at least one of the known constituents of muellein, triterpenoid saponins. However, the effects appear to be mild and results have been inconsistent. Extracts from different plant parts have been show to have varying anticoagulant strengths, with water-based ones being more potent than alcohol-based extracts.

VVH-W by Pure Herbs: Common Questions

Does VVH-W by Pure Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, VVH-W has a known interaction with 441 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
VVH-W contains 6 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 VVH-W if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Chickweed is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy, but Mullein, Calendula, White Oak Bark, and American Chestnut Leaf all lack enough safety data — the information we hold advises avoiding them during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Chickweed and Mullein extract can cause contact dermatitis on the skin. Calendula taken by mouth or applied topically may cause allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or the daisy family of plants. White Oak Bark and American Chestnut Leaf have high tannin content that can irritate your stomach or affect nutrient absorption. If any unusual symptoms develop, stop and talk to your pharmacist.
Does VVH-W actually work for anything?
The evidence isn't established in our data. All the main ingredients show insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're traditionally used for — whether that's weight management, cough, bronchitis, or skin healing. The ingredients are generally well tolerated, but long-term human safety data are limited.
What is White Oak Bark for?
White Oak Bark is included in the blend, but we hold no effectiveness ratings for it. It is traditionally used, and because of its high tannin content, it can irritate your digestive tract, so it's meant for short-term use only.
Is there anything in VVH-W I might be allergic to?
Yes — Calendula can trigger allergic reactions in some people, especially those sensitive to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and other plants in the daisy family. Chickweed and Mullein can cause contact dermatitis on the skin. If you have known plant allergies, talk to your pharmacist before starting.
