HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ash Bark 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: ash, in powdered form. Ash is the dried and ground bark from the ash tree, used as a botanical supplement.

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 Ash product and its label doesn't state a use — see Ash'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 ash as a supplement isn't established yet. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for obesity — the main condition it's studied for.

Without more research in people, we can't say whether it actually works for this or other purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ash

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.

Ash is likely fine in food amounts, but medicinal use hasn't been studied enough to call it well tolerated at supplement doses. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there simply isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for you or your baby in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ash

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Ash.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 258 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 your blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — ash may lower your blood pressure further than your medication alone. Also confirm your diabetes medications with your doctor or pharmacist, since ash may increase the risk of low blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Ash Bark Powder is a single-ingredient supplement whose effectiveness isn't yet proven. If you take blood pressure or diabetes medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — ash may add to how these drugs work and cause side effects like low blood pressure or low blood sugar.

Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might affect glucose control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary. Animal research shows that ash seed/fruit extract reduces fasting levels of glucose. Although clinical research in patients without diabetes shows that ash seed/fruit extract does not significantly affect blood glucose levels, insulin levels, or homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), it may lower the incremental glucose area under the curve and decrease 2-hour blood glucose following an oral glucose tolerance test. Ash seed/fruit extract has not been evaluated in patients with diabetes. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking antidiabetes drugs.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of ash seed with antihypertensive drugs might have additive blood pressure lowering effects. Animal research shows that ash seed extract can decrease blood pressure. This effect has not been evaluated in humans. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking antihypertensive drugs.
Some antihypertensive drugs include nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan), diltiazem (Cardizem), isradipine (DynaCirc), felodipine (Plendil), amlodipine (Norvasc), and others.
