HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amaranth Powder 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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: amaranth powder. Amaranth is a grain-like seed that's been used as both a food and a traditional remedy.

The powder form delivers the whole seed in concentrated form.

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 Amaranth product and its label doesn't state a use — see Amaranth'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 evidence for amaranth's uses is mixed and incomplete. For high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), the data we have rates it as possibly ineffective.

For iron deficiency anemia and peptic ulcers, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works or not. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor — they can help you weigh what the current evidence shows and what might work best for your situation.

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.

Amaranth is generally well tolerated as a food in everyday amounts. However, the safety data on medicinal supplement doses — the concentrated amounts you'd get in a powder like this one — is sparse.

We don't have solid safety information for high-dose or long-term use. Pregnancy and lactation safety data isn't on file for this ingredient, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, to figure out whether it's right for you.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for amaranth.

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 Powder is a grain-based supplement with limited evidence for its intended uses and incomplete safety data at supplement doses. If you're looking at it for cholesterol or anemia, the evidence doesn't clearly support it.

Before you start — especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any medications — check with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your situation.

Amaranth Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Amaranth Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Amaranth Powder. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Amaranth Powder 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.
Does amaranth actually help lower cholesterol?
Based on the data we have, amaranth is rated as possibly ineffective for high cholesterol. If managing your cholesterol is your goal, talk with your doctor about approaches the evidence does support.
Can this help with anemia?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether amaranth works for iron deficiency anemia. If you have anemia, your doctor can discuss what treatments are proven and what might help your specific situation.
Is amaranth safe to take every day?
Amaranth is generally safe as food in normal eating amounts. At supplement doses — the higher, concentrated amounts in this powder — long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Is it okay to use amaranth if I'm pregnant?
We don't have safety data on file for amaranth in pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you use this product.
