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: wood betony herb extract. It's traditionally been brewed as a tea and used in herbal medicine for various purposes.

The liquid also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the extract.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: herbal extract support.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for wood betony in our data, so the evidence isn't established for what this product may do. Betony has a long history in traditional herbalism, but we can't speak to how well it works based on the information we have.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Human safety data for betony are limited, so use it with care. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because of possible effects on the uterus — safety isn't established.

There's also not enough information to recommend it while breastfeeding, so you should avoid it during that time.

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

If you're interested in traditional herbal support and you're not taking blood pressure medication, a conversation with your pharmacist can help you weigh the sparse safety data against traditional use. If you do take blood pressure drugs or medications that affect heart rate, check with us first — the interaction is real and worth avoiding.
