HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amaranth 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: amaranth, a grain at 450 mg per capsule. Amaranth is sometimes used as a dietary supplement for cholesterol and iron status, though the evidence for those uses is limited.
The capsule itself is made with gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for amaranth in supplement form is sparse. For high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), current data suggests it's possibly ineffective.
For iron deficiency anemia and peptic ulcers, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works or not. Amaranth is eaten as a food in many parts of the world, but that's different from taking it as a concentrated medicinal supplement.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Amaranth is generally well tolerated when eaten as food. However, medicinal supplement doses—like the 450 mg in this product—haven't been well studied for safety.
The data we hold advises caution with concentrated supplement doses due to that lack of safety data. Food amounts are likely fine, but we don't have enough information on the safety of higher medicinal doses.
Pregnancy and lactation data for this ingredient is not on file, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for amaranth. Even so, it's always smart to check your own medications with your doctor or pharmacist before adding a new supplement.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
Amaranth 450 mg might interest you if you're exploring plant-based supplements for cholesterol or iron, though the evidence that it works is weak or missing. Because medicinal doses haven't been well studied for safety, this is worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other supplements or medications.
