INSUFFICIENT RELIABLE EVIDENCE to RATE
Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Sheep Sorrel Chocolate Flavor. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of sorrel used in medicinal amounts.
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally in large amounts. The oxalate content may cause serious adverse effects, including damage to the kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract (71314,75138,94019).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of sorrel used in medicinal amounts during pregnancy and lactation; avoid using.

Theoretically, sorrel might cause additive effects and side effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Details
In vitro, sorrel has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation (103607). However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of fexofenadine by reducing its absorption from the gut.
Details
In vitro research shows that an ethanol extract of sorrel inhibits organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1A2 (OATP1A2), which transports fexofenadine from the intestine into cells. In rats, concomitant administration of sorrel extract with fexofenadine reduces oral absorption of fexofenadine and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) (103606).

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of OATP substrates by reducing their absorption from the gut.
Details
In vitro research shows that sorrel inhibits OATP1A2 (103606). Theoretically it may inhibit other OATPs. The OATPs are expressed in the small intestine and liver and transport drugs into cells. Inhibition of OATP may reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP.

General
...Orally, sorrel seems to be generally well tolerated, based on limited data, mainly from studies with combination products.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Gastrointestinal irritation, kidney damage, liver necrosis.
Dermatologic ...Orally, sorrel, when used in combination with other herbs, has been reported to cause allergic skin reactions (374,379).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, sorrel, when used in combination with other herbs, has been reported to cause gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and an unpleasant aftertaste (374,379,37419).
Hepatic ...Extensive liver necrosis with hepatic failure has been reported with the ingestion of large amounts of sorrel; this was likely due to its oxalate content (75138).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Environmental exposure to sorrel pollen may trigger allergic rhinitis or bronchial asthma in hypersensitive individuals, and allergic cross-sensitivity may occur in up to 19% of people who are allergic to weed pollen (75141).
Renal ...Sorrel contains oxalates; irolithiasis and nephrosis may be caused by the systemic absorption of oxalates and may result in kidney damage (71314). A case of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) has been reported in a 12-year-old who consumed an unknown amount of wild sorrel. The patient presented with polyuria, hypophosphatemia, proteinuria, glucosuria, and hyperoxaluria. Recovery occurred after oral rehydration and electrolyte replacement. The TIN was likely due to formation of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys (94019).
