Herb Pharm Dandelion
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that dandelion root, as found in Herb Pharm Dandelion, is a traditional herbal ingredient, but the specific data provided here relates to calcium. We cannot make specific claims about dandelion itself from this data. For general wellness, the calcium data is relevant if you are also taking a calcium supplement. The RDA for calcium is 1,000 mg for most adults, but this product is not a calcium supplement.
How it works
The mechanism provided relates to calcium, not dandelion. Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. If you are taking a separate calcium supplement, it helps your bones stay strong and your nerves signal properly. For dandelion specifically, data on its mechanism is not available in the provided information.
Safety profile
Data not available for dandelion-specific side effects from the FDA data provided. The total FDA adverse event reports for all dietary supplements is 592,059, but this number does not specify dandelion. For calcium, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and an increased risk of heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like levothyroxine and certain antibiotics [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are using Herb Pharm Dandelion for its traditional uses, we recommend discussing it with your healthcare provider. Because the data provided focuses on calcium, ensure you are not taking high-dose calcium supplements without medical guidance. Monitor for any digestive upset or interactions with prescription medications [NIH ODS].
