HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zanthoxylum Cla. Southern Prickly Ash by Wise Woman Herbals

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

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.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.50 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid contains one active ingredient: Southern Prickly Ash (Hercules club). The other ingredients are organic alcohol and spring water.

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 Hercules Club product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hercules Club'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 hold no effectiveness data for Southern Prickly Ash in our records, so we cannot tell you what this ingredient is intended to do or how well it works.

  • 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.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Hercules Club.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 36 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.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Southern Prickly Ash is a single-ingredient herbal liquid with a narrow but real interaction risk: if you take H2-blockers, antacids, or PPIs for stomach acid, you'll want to check with your pharmacist first. The safety data is thin, and pregnancy and breastfeeding are situations to avoid it.

A conversation with your pharmacist or herbalist before starting is a good idea.
