This all-natural hemorrhoid support formula is promoted as rapid relief for hemorrhoid symptoms. Containing Witch Hazel, Horse Chestnut Seeds, and Butcher’s Broom, HemRid Max is a promising product. It also contains Vitamin C to help fortify veins, which play a major role in hemorrhoid formation. We like that it is manufactured in an FDA-registered and GMP-certified facility, although we saw no mention of third-party testing.
The downside is that aside from Vitamin C, the beneficial ingredients in this formula are all lumped together in a proprietary blend, which means we have no way of knowing the dose of each ingredient. Without this knowledge, we are not sure whether the product will have the utmost efficacy. Nevertheless, we believe that this is a good product.
Is HemRid Max Effective?
This formula consists of 600 mg Vitamin C as well as 1374 mg of a proprietary blend containing Horse Chestnut Extract, Witch Hazel Powder, Hesperidin, Butcher’s Broom Root Powder, Bilberry Extract, and Enovita® (Grape Seed Extract). Vitamin C, Hesperidin, Grape Seed, and Bilberry help to strengthen blood vessels such as veins and capillaries, which are associated with hemorrhoids. Witch Hazel relieves pain while Horse Chestnut fights inflammation and Butcher’s broom reduces swelling.
A few key ingredients were missing for us – namely Ginger, Plantain, and Oat Straw. Ginger and Plantain are excellent for reducing swelling and inflammation, while Oat Straw improves stool consistency to ease bowel movements and avoid further irritating existing hemorrhoids.
Finally, as mentioned above, aside from Vitamin C the rest of the ingredients are listed as a proprietary blend, which is unfortunate because it doesn’t allow us to fully assess the efficacy of the product, which is very much dependent on having potent enough doses of each ingredient. This lack of transparency also causes us to trust this brand slightly less because they chose not to disclose this information for no apparent reason.
Is HemRid Max Safe?
There are no mentioned side effects of taking this product. As with any new supplement or diet introduced into your daily life, we always advise talking to your healthcare professional about possible contraindications of any pre-existing medical conditions or medications that you are taking. Supplements work differently for everyone and the effects vary between individuals so it is always a good idea to run any health changes by a healthcare professional.

Summary
HemRid Max seems to be an effective hemorrhoid supplement. It contains all natural ingredients and is produced in an FDA-registered and GMP-certified facility. The formula contains several effective ingredients for relieving hemorrhoid symptoms, such as Witch Hazel, Butcher’s Broom, and Horse Chestnut. However, there is no information regarding the quantities of these ingredients, and some key ingredients such as Ginger and Rutin were left out altogether. All in all, we believe this product is effective, but it may not be as effective as our top choice.
