Herb Pharm Goldenseal
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that goldenseal is a traditional herbal supplement, but the clinical data for its specific benefits is limited. Our assessment is that you should approach this product with caution, as the available data does not provide strong support for its use in treating any specific condition. Data not available for goldenseal-specific mechanism or efficacy from the provided sources.
How it works
Data not available for the specific mechanism of action of goldenseal from the provided data sources. The ingredient data we have is for calcium, not goldenseal. For context, calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This information does not apply to goldenseal.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but data not available for goldenseal-specific reports [FDA data]. Based on the ingredient data for calcium, high intakes of that mineral can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. However, these side effects are specific to calcium, not goldenseal. Data not available for goldenseal-specific side effects.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to not use goldenseal for self-treatment of any condition due to the lack of evidence from the provided data. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking any supplement, especially if you are taking medications. Data not available for goldenseal-specific dosage or interactions from the provided sources.
