HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Lettuce by L.A. Naturals

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

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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: selectively imported wild lettuce. It's a liquid form, which means the herb is suspended in a base of grain alcohol and deionized water.

The alcohol serves as both a preservative and a way to extract and deliver the herb's compounds into your system.

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 Wild Lettuce product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wild Lettuce'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 don't hold effectiveness ratings for wild lettuce in our data, so we can't tell you from the research we have whether it works for any particular condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild Lettuce

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.

Wild lettuce has limited human safety data, and the facts on file raise several cautions. Large doses or prematurely harvested material have been linked to sweating, rapid breathing, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision changes, head pressure, drowsiness, excitability, and in severe cases respiratory depression or coma.

A small amount of contact dermatitis has been reported with topical application. The safety data advises against wild lettuce during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe for your baby.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Wild Lettuce

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 — Wild Lettuce.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 393 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 you start, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about any CNS depressants you take — including sleep aids, sedatives, anxiety medications, opioids, and alcohol — because wild lettuce may intensify their drowsy or respiratory effects. Also mention any anticholinergic medications, as wild lettuce may theoretically add to dry mouth, constipation, or dizziness.

Altogether, these interactions span 393 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Wild Lettuce by L.A. Naturals may be worth a conversation if you're interested in herbal options, but it's not well studied in humans and carries real risks at higher doses — especially dizziness, drowsiness, and vision changes.

If you take any sedating medications, anticholinergic drugs, or anything else on prescription, check with your doctor or pharmacist first. It's not for use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Anticholinergic Drugs

Studies report varying evidence on whether or not wild lettuce contains hyoscyamine, an anticholinergic drug. If it does, it appears to be in very low amounts. Nevertheless, there have been case reports of individuals consuming large amounts of wild lettuce experiencing anticholinergic-related side effects, such as constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, and sweating. Therefore, if you are already taking a drug with anticholinergic effects, you should be cautious about combining it with wild lettuce as the risk of side effects may be increased.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs with sedative effects might cause additive therapeutic effects and adverse effects.
