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: yellow dock root at 450 mg per capsule. Yellow dock is a plant root traditionally used as a mild laxative.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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

Our data holds no effectiveness ratings for yellow dock. The evidence supporting it for any specific condition isn't established in the information we have on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yellow Dock

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.

Yellow dock is generally well tolerated when properly prepared and eaten in food amounts. However, the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — the product acts as a laxative, and safety information is not sufficient for either situation.

Rare serious side effects can occur with raw leaves or rhizomes, including low blood calcium (hypocalcemia), kidney stones, and vomiting. The product contains oxalates and should be used short-term and with care.

Large amounts may cause skin reactions (dermatitis) in some people, and contact with the plant can trigger dermatitis in those sensitive to it.

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Yellow Dock.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 78 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 take this product, check whether you use diuretics (water pills for blood pressure or fluid), digoxin (Lanoxin) for your heart, or warfarin (Coumadin) for blood thinning. These carry Major or Moderate interaction risks.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Yellow dock root is traditionally used as a short-term laxative, but it carries Major interaction risks with heart and blood pressure medications. If you take diuretics, digoxin, warfarin, or any other prescription drugs, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this — low potassium is a real concern.

It should be avoided in pregnancy and while nursing.

Yellow Dock3 drug types · 78 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity when used long-term or in large amount.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur. This might increase the toxic effects of digoxin.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretics.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur, and overuse of yellow dock might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, the laxative effects of yellow dock might increase the effects of warfarin, including the risk of bleeding.
The anthraquinones in yellow dock have a mild stimulant laxative effect. Consuming excessive amounts can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding.

Does Yellow Dock Root 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yellow Dock Root 450 mg has a known interaction with 78 medications, including 76 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Yellow Dock Root 450 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 Yellow Dock Root if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. Yellow dock acts as a laxative and there isn't enough safety information to know it's okay. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
What are the side effects?
When properly prepared and used in normal amounts, yellow dock is generally well tolerated. However, consuming raw leaves or rhizomes is unsafe and can cause low blood calcium (hypocalcemia), kidney stones, and vomiting. Large amounts may cause skin reactions.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
No — the safety data advises against it while nursing. The laxative compounds in yellow dock may pass into breast milk, so it's best avoided.

Yellow dock should be used short-term and with care. It's not intended for long-term use. Talk with your pharmacist about the right length of time for your needs.
Does Yellow Dock Root actually work?
Our data doesn't hold effectiveness ratings for yellow dock, so I can't tell you whether it's proven to work for any specific condition. It's traditionally used as a mild laxative, but the evidence supporting that isn't established in the information we have.
