HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Aronia by Herbal Terra

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check

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: aronia dried berry liquid extract, also known as chokeberry. The extract is suspended in menstruum, which is a solvent used to pull the active compounds from the berry into a liquid 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 Chokeberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chokeberry'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 on aronia for most uses is limited. For cardiovascular disease, the research suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, athletic performance, and cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works. The data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chokeberry

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 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.

Chokeberry is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied. Gastrointestinal side effects — constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting — are the most common.

In small clinical studies, when people drank 100 mL of chokeberry juice daily or twice daily for several weeks, around 14% to 53% reported these digestive issues. Because concentrated supplement amounts haven't been studied closely, use caution with this product.

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chokeberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 812 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.

Before taking this product, check with us if you take trabectedin (Yondelis), blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or clopidogrel, diabetes medications, or any drugs broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 — these are Moderate-severity interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Aronia might appeal to someone looking for a berry supplement for general wellness, but the evidence for its specific health claims is either weak or lacking. If you take trabectedin, blood thinners, diabetes medications, or drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, check your exact medication list with us first — the interaction risk is real.

Gastrointestinal upset is common, so start with a small amount and watch how you feel.

Aronia dried berry liquid extract4 drug types · 811 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical and in vitro research suggests that chokeberry extract can temporarily inhibit platelet aggregation and decrease clot formation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that chokeberry decreases levels of blood glucose in some patients with diabetes. However, other clinical research suggests that chokeberry has no significant effect on blood glucose levels.

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

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that chokeberry inhibits CYP3A4. In humans, there is one case report of a drug interaction with trabectedin, a CYP3A4 substrate, which is hypothesized to have been caused by chokeberry inhibition of CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Trabectedin (Yondelis)

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the effects and adverse effects of trabectedin.
In one case report, a patient drinking chokeberry juice developed rhabdomyolysis induced by trabectedin, a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrate. It is possible that inhibition of CYP3A4 by chokeberry juice might have inhibited the metabolism of trabectedin and increased trabectedin levels in this patient.

Aronia by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Aronia by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aronia has a known interaction with 811 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aronia 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.
What is aronia, and what's it supposed to do?
Aronia is a dark berry also called chokeberry. This product contains a concentrated liquid extract of it. The research we have doesn't show it works well for the conditions people often try it for — in fact, for heart disease it looks possibly ineffective — and we don't have enough evidence to say whether it helps with cognitive decline, eye health, athletic performance, or cancer.
Does aronia have any side effects?
Most people tolerate it without trouble, but digestive upset is common. Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting have all been reported. In clinical studies, when people drank chokeberry juice over several weeks, between about 14% and 53% of them reported one of these issues — so it's a real possibility you should know about.
Is this safe to take while breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for this ingredient during breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing — they can help you decide what's right for you and your baby.
Can I take this with blood thinners like warfarin?
Not without checking first. Chokeberry may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, so this is a Moderate-severity interaction. Use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact drugs, then talk with your pharmacist before starting.
What's menstruum, and is it a filler?
Menstruum is a solvent used to extract the active compounds from the berry and turn them into a liquid form — it's an inactive ingredient. You're getting the active aronia extract plus this carrier liquid.
If I take diabetes medication, can I use this?
Chokeberry may lower blood sugar, which could increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you're already on diabetes drugs. The evidence is mixed — some research shows it does lower blood sugar and some shows it doesn't — but the interaction is rated Moderate, so check with your pharmacist first and monitor your blood sugar closely if you decide to take it.
