HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astragalus Root Strawberry 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

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: Astragalus Root Glycerite Liquid Extract. It's a concentrated liquid form of astragalus root.

The formula also includes glycerin and strawberry flavor as inactive ingredients to improve taste and texture.

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 Astragalus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astragalus'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 astragalus isn't well established in the data we hold. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), amenorrhea, aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia — the conditions listed in our monograph.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means rigorous human studies are lacking or inconclusive. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the current research shows for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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.

Astragalus is generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, but good-quality human safety data is limited. The data advises against using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as there isn't enough reliable safety information either way.

In clinical trials and studies, a small number of participants reported dizziness, and one person reported symptoms consistent with lacunar angina (chest pain), though these effects may not have been caused by astragalus itself. Rash, eczema, and itching have been reported with intravenous forms, though this product is oral.

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 — Astragalus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 208 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 starting this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take immunosuppressants, lithium, diabetes medication, or cyclophosphamide. Astragalus may interfere with how these drugs work or raise their levels in your body.

These are Moderate-severity concerns worth discussing in person.

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.

Astragalus Root by TerraVita might be worth considering if you're interested in immune support, but the human evidence is sparse. If you take immunosuppressants, lithium, diabetes medication, or cyclophosphamide, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it for now — the safety data isn't there.

Talk it over with your healthcare provider to make sure it fits your situation.

Astragalus Root Glycerite Liquid Extract4 drug types · 208 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking astragalus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research in humans shows that astragalus might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, taking astragalus, especially in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cyclophosphamide

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with cyclophosphamide therapy.
Evidence regarding the effect of astragalus on immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide is conflicting. Some animal research suggests that astragalus reverses cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. However, other animal research shows no effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, astragalus might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that astragalus has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to this diuretic effect, astragalus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Astragalus Root Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Astragalus Root Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Astragalus Root Strawberry Flavor has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Astragalus Root Strawberry Flavor 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.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it in both cases. There isn't enough reliable information to know whether it's safe, so it's best avoided. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
What is astragalus root supposed to do?
Astragalus is traditionally used for immune support, but the human evidence we have is insufficient to say how well it works for specific conditions like hay fever, asthma, or heart health. The research just isn't there yet.
Is this product generally safe if I don't take any medications?
It's generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though human safety data is limited. A small number of people in trials reported dizziness, and one reported chest pain symptoms, though these may not have been caused by astragalus.
Why does this product have interactions with so many medications?
Astragalus may stimulate immune function, act as a mild diuretic, and affect blood sugar — properties that can theoretically interfere with how immunosuppressants, lithium, diabetes drugs, and chemotherapy work. That's why checking your exact medications matters.
What's in this liquid besides astragalus?
The liquid includes glycerin and strawberry flavor to improve taste and keep the extract stable. These are inactive ingredients and don't add a therapeutic effect.
