HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Atractylodes Root 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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: Atractylodes root extract, a 4:1 concentrated extract of the atractylodes plant root, providing 450 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water—these are inactive ingredients that hold the extract in place.

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 Atractylodes product and its label doesn't state a use — see Atractylodes'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 atractylodes root isn't established in our data. Effectiveness ratings show insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions this ingredient has been studied for—anorexia nervosa, cancer-related weight loss (cachexia), lung cancer, common cold, and diarrhea.

That means we don't have enough human trial data to say whether it actually works for any of these.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Atractylodes

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.

Human safety data for atractylodes are limited, so caution is advised and guidance from your pharmacist or doctor is recommended. The most commonly reported side effects in the limited information available are allergic reaction, dry mouth, and nausea; one isolated constituent also caused bad taste.

During pregnancy, the evidence suggests it's possibly unsafe—avoid it. Breastfeeding safety is unknown, so it's best avoided while nursing as well.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Atractylodes

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 — Atractylodes.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 802 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.

Double-check this supplement with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk), aromatase inhibitors for cancer (Moderate risk), hexobarbital (Moderate risk), or any medication that your liver breaks down via CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 enzymes (Minor risk). No interactions are documented in our data for other medication types.

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.

Atractylodes is a traditional herb with theoretical interactions in several important medication categories—especially blood thinners and liver-processed drugs. Because human safety and effectiveness data are sparse, and pregnancy and breastfeeding safety are concerns, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, particularly if you take any regular medications.

Atractylodes root extract5 drug types · 801 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylenolides II and III, constituents of atractylodes, reduce platelet activation. So far, this has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aromatase Inhibitors

Theoretically, atractylodes may have an additive effect when used with other aromatase inhibitors.
Laboratory research suggests that atractylodes and its constituents exhibit aromatase inhibitor effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hexobarbital

Theoretically, taking atractylodes may prolong the therapeutic and adverse effects of hexobarbital.
In animals, atractylodes has been shown to prolong the effects of hexobarbital. These effects have not been shown in humans.

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

Theoretically, atractylodes might decrease the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to induce CYP1A2 activity. This effect has not been shown in humans.

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

Theoretically, atractylodes might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In animals, atractylodes administered at high doses has been shown to inhibit CYP3A1 activity, which is a homolog to the human CYP3A4 enzyme. This effect has not been shown in humans.

Atractylodes Root 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Atractylodes Root 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Atractylodes Root 450 mg 4:1 Extract has a known interaction with 801 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Atractylodes Root 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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.
Is atractylodes safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—the safety data advises against it during pregnancy, as it's rated possibly unsafe. If you're breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best to avoid it to be safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance, especially if you're considering it for a specific reason.
What side effects might I experience?
The information we hold on side effects is limited, but the most common reported ones are allergic reaction, dry mouth, and nausea. One isolated compound in atractylodes also caused bad taste and nausea in testing. A thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed, so other effects may exist.
Does atractylodes actually work for the conditions it's used for?
We don't have enough reliable human evidence to say. It's been studied for anorexia nervosa, cancer-related weight loss, lung cancer, common cold, and diarrhea, but the evidence is insufficient to rate whether it's effective for any of these.
What is atractylodes root used for traditionally?
Atractylodes root has been used in traditional medicine, but the specific conditions it's marketed for in this product aren't described in our data. What we can tell you is that the evidence doesn't yet support effectiveness claims for the ones researchers have looked at.
Why do I need to check my medications before taking this?
Atractylodes may affect how your body processes blood thinners, cancer drugs, and medications your liver breaks down—potentially making them less effective or causing them to build up in your system. Some of these interactions could raise your bleeding risk or alter how well your medications work.
