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.

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 have effectiveness data on file for wild lettuce in our monograph, so the evidence for what it does isn't established in the facts we hold. If you're considering it for a specific reason, chat with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research shows for your use.

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 comes with significant safety cautions. At high doses, it's been linked to sweating, rapid breathing, fast heart rate, dilated pupils, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision changes, head pressure, drowsiness, agitation, slowed breathing, and in severe cases, coma or death.

The data is limited, especially for people. It's not safe in pregnancy — there isn't enough information to know it's okay.

You should also avoid it while breastfeeding, as reliable safety data don't exist for nursing. If you're pregnant, nursing, or thinking about either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Why this rating?

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.
