Our assessment
The evidence shows that Sheep Sorrel, as a standalone ingredient, has limited high-quality clinical data available. Our assessment is based on the known properties of one of its key constituents, calcium, which is present in the plant. Data not available for specific clinical trials on Herb Pharm Sheep Sorrel.
How it works
Sheep Sorrel contains calcium, which acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
For the general category of supplements, FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports. For the calcium component specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
