HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Antacid Formula Mint Flavor by TerraVita

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.13 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid formula contains three active herbal extracts in glycerin: angelica (from ashitaba), German chamomile flower, and marshmallow root. Each is extracted as a liquid and combined to create the antacid blend.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin (the base) and mint flavoring.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive upset and heartburn relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Peptic ulcers, Flatulence, Diarrhea, Constipation, Acid reflux — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Marshmallow is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Marshmallow is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea.
  • Also on file: German Chamomile is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Peptic ulcers.

The evidence for what these ingredients actually do isn't established in our data. All three active ingredients — angelica, German chamomile, and marshmallow root — are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're traditionally used for (like digestive relief, anxiety, or respiratory support).

That doesn't mean they don't work, just that we don't have strong clinical trial data to confirm their effectiveness yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ashitaba German Chamomile Marshmallow

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

German chamomile is generally well tolerated but can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants, including severe reactions and anaphylaxis in rare cases. It may also cause nausea or mouth burning when used as a rinse.

Angelica is likely safe as food but has limited supplement safety data. Marshmallow root is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though human safety data are limited.

None of these ingredients should be used during pregnancy — the safety data aren't there. For breastfeeding, German chamomile should be checked with your doctor or pharmacist first; angelica and marshmallow root lack enough safety data.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ashitaba German Chamomile Marshmallow

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Marshmallow, German Chamomile, Ashitaba.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,119 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.

Check before starting if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (moderate risk of increased bleeding), birth control or hormone replacement therapy (may reduce effectiveness), tamoxifen (may interfere with its effects), lithium (may raise levels), or any drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, or CYP1A2 enzymes. Space this product 30–60 minutes apart from other oral medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product works best for people who aren't on blood thinners, mood stabilizers, or medications metabolized by major liver enzymes, and who don't have ragweed allergies. If you take any prescription medication — especially warfarin, birth control, hormone therapy, lithium, or tamoxifen — check with your pharmacist before using it.

Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals should talk with their doctor first.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Antacid Formula Mint Flavor with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Marshmallow Root Glycerite Liquid Extract3 drug types · 2,040 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, due to potential diuretic effects, marshmallow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Marshmallow is thought to have diuretic properties. To avoid lithium toxicity, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when used with marshmallow.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, marshmallow flower might have antiplatelet effects.
Animal research suggests that marshmallow flower extract has antiplatelet effects. However, the root and leaf of marshmallow, not the flower, are the plant parts most commonly found in dietary supplements. Theoretically, use of marshmallow flower with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs can have additive effects, and might increase the risk for bleeding in some patients.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, mucilage in marshmallow might impair absorption of oral drugs.
Marshmallow contains mucilage which can affect oral drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take marshmallow 30-60 minutes after oral medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Chamomile Flower Glycerite Liquid Extract9 drug types · 960 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, German chamomile might have additive effects when used with CNS depressants.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
In vitro, German chamomile has demonstrated antiestrogenic activity. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of German chamomile might interfere with contraceptive drugs through competition for estrogen receptors.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP2C9 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro evidence shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 in patients taking German chamomile.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP2D6 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro evidence shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP2D6. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 in patients taking German chamomile.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP3A4 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro evidence shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP3A4. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 in patients taking German chamomile.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might reduce the effectiveness of estrogens.
In vitro, German chamomile has demonstrated antiestrogenic activity. Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might interfere with hormone replacement therapy through competition for estrogen receptors.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)

Theoretically, large amounts of German chamomile might interfere with the activity of tamoxifen.
In vitro, German chamomile has demonstrated antiestrogenic activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

German chamomile might increase the effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding.
In one case, a 70-year-old female taking warfarin developed retroperitoneal hematoma and bilateral recti muscle bleeding along with an INR of 7.9 following ingestion of German chamomile tea 4-5 cups daily and use of a topical chamomile-based lotion applied 4-5 times daily.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, German chamomile might inhibit CYP1A2 and increase levels of drugs metabolized by these enzymes.
In vitro and animal research shows that German chamomile might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, there might be an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking German chamomile.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Angelica Glycerite Liquid Extract1 drug type · 186 drugs

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

In vitro research shows that ashitaba extract inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2. Theoretically, concomitant use of ashitaba with CYP1A2 substrates might decrease the clearance of these substrates and increase the risk for adverse effects. However, this interaction has yet to be reported in humans. Until more is known, use with caution.

Antacid Formula Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Antacid Formula Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Antacid Formula Mint Flavor has a known interaction with 2,118 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Antacid Formula Mint Flavor contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 allergic to ragweed?
No — German chamomile is a ragweed relative and can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed plants, including severe ones. Skip this product if you have that allergy.
Is this safe to use while pregnant?
The safety data for these ingredients during pregnancy aren't strong enough. All three — angelica, German chamomile, and marshmallow root — are best avoided in pregnancy unless your doctor approves. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Can I take this with my other medications?
That depends on what you take. Two of the three active ingredients interact with several common medications, especially blood thinners, birth control, and liver-metabolized drugs. Use the medication checker on this page to search your exact medications.
What does marshmallow root do in this formula?
Marshmallow root is traditionally used for digestive and respiratory support, though the evidence for it isn't well established in our data. It does contain a substance (mucilage) that can affect how your body absorbs other oral medications, so spacing it 30–60 minutes from other drugs helps.
Can this interfere with my birth control?
Possibly — German chamomile has shown antiestrogenic activity in lab studies, meaning large amounts might reduce how well oral contraceptives work. If you rely on birth control, check with your pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common is allergic reactions from German chamomile, especially in people sensitive to ragweed — these can range from mild itching and sneezing to severe anaphylaxis in rare cases. German chamomile may also cause nausea or mouth burning when used as a rinse. Human safety data for the other ingredients are limited.
