Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Herb Pharm Wild Indigo is not available from the provided data. However, the product's label lists no specific active ingredients for our analysis. Our assessment focuses on the supplement category as a whole: the data provided is for a different ingredient, Calcium, which is a mineral, not an herbal extract. We cannot make a specific assessment for Wild Indigo based on the data provided.
How it works
For the ingredient Calcium, which is the only data provided, it works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This mechanism does not apply to wild indigo; data for how wild indigo works is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For the ingredient Calcium, side effects from high levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. For Herb Pharm Wild Indigo specifically, side effect data is not available.
Our recommendation
Because the provided data does not include any information on wild indigo’s efficacy, safety, or dosage, we cannot recommend this product. Data not available for the specific herb. If you are considering a supplement, always consult with your healthcare provider first, especially since calcium supplements, which are in the data, can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
