What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: agrimony (Xian He Cao), delivered as a glycerite liquid extract. The inactive ingredient is glycerin, a sweetener and preservative common in liquid extracts.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Agrimony product and its label doesn't state a use — see Agrimony's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The product facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for agrimony, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows it does or doesn't do. If you're considering it for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist about what research exists.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Agrimony has been used historically in food-like amounts in tea, but human safety data are limited — so the guidance is to use it with care. The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, since there isn't enough information to know it's safe in either situation.

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Agrimony may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but if you take any blood-sugar medication, you'll want to check with your pharmacist first. Avoid this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Because human safety data are sparse, caution is warranted.

Agrimony (Xian He Cao) by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Agrimony (Xian He Cao) by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Agrimony (Xian He Cao) has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Agrimony (Xian He Cao) contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advise against agrimony during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in these situations.
What's the difference between agrimony and other herbal supplements?
Agrimony (Xian He Cao) is a specific herb used in traditional medicine. This product delivers it as a glycerite — an extract made with glycerin rather than alcohol. The main thing to know is whether it interacts with your medications and whether the evidence supports what you're hoping it will do.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
The product facts don't list specific side effects from agrimony in people. What we do know is that it can lower blood sugar, which is the main safety concern if you take diabetes medication. Because human safety data are limited, report any unusual symptoms to your pharmacist or doctor.
Is this supplement safe to use long-term?
Human safety data for agrimony are limited, so we don't have solid information about long-term use. It's traditionally been used in small amounts in tea, but caution is advised. Check with your pharmacist about how long it's safe for you to use it.
