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 supplement contains one active ingredient: zedoary (wild turmeric), 450 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made with 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 Zedoary product and its label doesn't state a use — see Zedoary'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.

The evidence we hold on zedoary doesn't establish that it works for the uses people commonly ask about — rotaviral diarrhea (a specific kind of infectious diarrhea) and high cholesterol. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for either.

If you're considering zedoary for a health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the evidence supports its use for your specific situation.

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.

Zedoary is generally used in small amounts as food, but we don't have much human safety data for supplement doses like this one. The safety information we hold advises against zedoary during pregnancy — it may affect the uterus — and we have no reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

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

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Zedoary

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 — Zedoary.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 646 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 zedoary, check with your pharmacist if you're on any cancer medications that work through the CYP3A4 pathway, particularly tyrosine kinase inhibitors like lapatinib, sorafenib, or gefitinib — zedoary may raise their levels in your blood. Use the search tool on this page to look up your exact medications.

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.

Zedoary Root may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal remedies, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. If you take any cancer medications — especially tyrosine kinase inhibitors — or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your pharmacist before starting.

The interaction with cancer drugs is the main safety flag here.

Theoretically, zedoary might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In-vitro research shows that a methanol extract of zedoary strongly inhibits the CYP3A4 metabolism of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors lapatinib and sorafenib, and to a lesser extent, gefitinib.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Zedoary Root (Wild Turmeric) 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — zedoary is traditionally avoided during pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and the safety data advises against it. There's also no reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too. Talk with your doctor if you have questions about what you can safely take.
What is zedoary used for?
Zedoary, also called wild turmeric, is used in traditional medicine and some food preparations. The evidence we hold doesn't establish whether it works for rotaviral diarrhea or high cholesterol — both show insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

We don't have adverse effects documented in our data. However, human safety data for supplement doses of zedoary is limited; most of what we know comes from its use in food amounts.
Does this product have any fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes — the capsule contains gelatin and water. The active ingredient is zedoary, 450 mg.
Will this interact with my medications?
Zedoary can potentially interact with cancer medications that are broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme, particularly tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Use the search tool on this page to look up your exact medications before you start.
