HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Anti-Nausea 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 product contains 3 active ingredients in liquid form. Rosemary glycerite liquid extract is included for its traditional use, peppermint leaf glycerite liquid extract for digestive and nausea relief, and anise glycerite liquid extract to round out the formula.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin and mint flavor.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Nausea relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), Pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting, Motion sickness, General nausea.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Peppermint is rated "Possibly Effective" for Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Peppermint is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), Pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Peppermint has the strongest evidence here — it's rated Likely Effective for irritable bowel syndrome and Possibly Effective for nausea from chemotherapy, general indigestion, and other digestive spasms. Rosemary is rated Possibly Effective for memory support, though evidence for other uses is insufficient.

Anise's effectiveness for any condition isn't established in our data — all its ratings show insufficient evidence.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary Peppermint Anise

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 3 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.

Peppermint leaf in food amounts is generally well tolerated; the main oral side effects in trials were mild — abdominal pain, heartburn, belching, and dry mouth. Rosemary in normal culinary amounts is safe, but concentrated extracts need care, and medicinal doses should be avoided in pregnancy.

Anise is likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding in food amounts, but medicinal doses aren't well studied. All three can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people, including contact dermatitis or, rarely, anaphylaxis with anise.

Undiluted oils or large amounts can cause burns or serious irritation in the mouth or throat.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're on blood thinners, birth control, blood sugar medication, or anything your liver processes heavily, check with us before using this — the interactions are real. For most others taking no medications, the peppermint and anise are generally well tolerated in this form.

For each ingredient in Anti-Nausea 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.

Peppermint Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract5 drug types · 796 drugs

Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Theoretically, peppermint oil might increase the levels and adverse effects of cyclosporine.
In animal research, peppermint oil inhibits cyclosporine metabolism and increases cyclosporine levels. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) may be partially responsible for this interaction. An interaction between peppermint oil and cyclosporine has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C19. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that a single dose of peppermint oil 600 mg inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and increases the AUC of felodipine, a CYP3A4 substrate. However, in vitro research suggests that peppermint oil only inhibits CYP3A4 at very high concentrations.

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

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro and animal research shows that peppermint oil and peppermint leaf inhibit CYP1A2. However, in clinical research, peppermint tea did not significantly affect the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate. It is possible that the 6-day duration of treatment may have been too short to identify a difference.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Peppermint Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract full monograph & interactions

Rosemary Glycerite Liquid Extract6 drug types · 372 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, rosemary may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that rosemary inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking rosemary with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research shows that rosemary extract can decrease blood glucose levels in diabetic models. However, research in humans is conflicting. Although rosemary powder decreased blood glucose levels in healthy adults, no change in blood glucose levels was seen in adults with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as aspirin.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

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

Theoretically, rosemary might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that rosemary induces CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Rosemary Glycerite Liquid Extract full monograph & interactions

Anise Glycerite Liquid Extract11 drug types · 245 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, anise seed might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
A small clinical study shows that anise seed powder decreases fasting blood glucose levels by 36% when compared to baseline.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Caffeine

Theoretically, anise oil might decrease the efficacy of caffeine.
Animal research shows that taking anise oil with caffeine decreases the bioavailability of caffeine. Whether this interaction will occur in humans is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Codeine

Theoretically, anise oil might increase the effects and adverse effects of codeine.
Animal research shows that anise oil increases the analgesic effects of codeine, possibly by inducing its phase I metabolism and increasing conversion to morphine. Whether this interaction occurs in humans is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, anise might interfere with contraceptive drug therapy.
Some in vitro research suggests that anise has estrogenic effects, while other in vitro research suggests that anise has antiestrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diazepam (Valium)

Theoretically, anise oil might increase the effects and adverse effects of diazepam.
Animal research shows that taking anise oil with diazepam increases the motor impairment associated with diazepam, possibly by inhibiting its breakdown by cytochrome P450 3A4. Whether this interaction occurs in humans is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, anise might interfere with estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy.
Some in vitro research suggests that anise has estrogenic effects, while other in vitro research suggests that anise has antiestrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fluoxetine (Prozac)

Theoretically, anise oil might decrease the efficacy of fluoxetine.
Animal research shows that taking anise oil with fluoxetine reduces the antidepressant effects of fluoxetine, possibly by promoting its breakdown by cytochrome P450 2D6. Whether this interaction occurs in humans is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Imipramine (Tofranil)

Theoretically, anise oil might decrease the efficacy of imipramine.
Animal research shows that taking anise oil with imipramine reduces the antidepressant effects of imipramine, possibly by promoting its breakdown by cytochrome P450 2D6. Whether this interaction occurs in humans is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Midazolam (Versed)

Theoretically, anise oil might increase the effects and adverse effects of midazolam.
Animal research shows that taking anise oil with midazolam increases the motor impairment associated with midazolam, possibly by inhibiting its breakdown by cytochrome P450 3A4. Whether this interaction occurs in humans is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)

Theoretically, anise might interfere with tamoxifen therapy.
Some in vitro research suggests that anise has estrogenic effects, while other in vitro research suggests that anise has antiestrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)

Theoretically, anise oil might decrease the levels and clinical effects of acetaminophen.
Animal research shows that taking anise oil with acetaminophen decreases peak plasma levels of acetaminophen but does not reduce overall bioavailability. Whether this interaction will occur in humans is unclear.

Anti-Nausea Formula Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Anti-Nausea Formula Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Anti-Nausea Formula Mint Flavor has a known interaction with 948 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Anti-Nausea 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.
Does this help with nausea?
Peppermint is rated Possibly Effective for nausea from chemotherapy and for general digestive upset. Anise and rosemary don't have established evidence for nausea in our data, though they're traditionally used for digestive comfort.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant?
Peppermint and anise are likely safe in food amounts during pregnancy. Rosemary is more cautious — food amounts are probably fine, but medicinal doses should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Can I take this with my birth control?
No — anise in this product may theoretically interfere with how birth control works. Check with your pharmacist before using it if you're on hormonal contraception or hormone replacement therapy.
What are the most common side effects?
Peppermint may cause abdominal pain, heartburn, belching, dry mouth, or nausea. Rosemary and anise can trigger allergic reactions like contact dermatitis in sensitive people. Serious reactions like anaphylaxis are rare.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
Peppermint and anise are likely safe during breastfeeding. Rosemary has limited safety data for breastfeeding — food amounts are probably okay, but medicinal doses are best avoided. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I use this if I take diabetes medication?
Both rosemary and anise may lower blood sugar, so they could theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar if you're already on antidiabetes drugs. Check with your pharmacist before using it.
