HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Basil 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

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: basil glycerite liquid extract. Glycerite means the basil has been extracted using glycerin, a common solvent for herbal preparations.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin itself and strawberry flavor.

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 Basil product and its label doesn't state a use — see Basil'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 we hold doesn't establish that basil works for acne, headache, common cold, constipation, diarrhea, or flatulence — the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these uses. If you're considering this product for one of those purposes, you won't find a strong science-backed reason to here.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Basil

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.

Basil eaten as food is generally well tolerated. However, this is a concentrated extract, and the safety data on concentrated basil supplements and essential oils isn't well established.

The caution is to stick with food amounts and avoid medicinal doses of concentrated forms. One case of allergic contact dermatitis (a skin reaction) has been reported from occupational basil exposure.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data shows conflicting ratings — one suggests it's likely safe and another possibly unsafe — so there isn't enough clarity to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Basil

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 — Basil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 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 with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood pressure medications or blood thinners — basil may amplify their effects and raise your risk of low blood pressure or bleeding.

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.

This basil extract is a single-ingredient product best suited to someone curious about basil's traditional uses but not taking blood pressure medications or blood thinners. If you're on either of those drug classes, you'll want to clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.

The evidence for most common uses isn't strong enough yet to say it will help.

Basil Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Basil Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Basil Strawberry Flavor has a known interaction with 289 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Basil 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.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The safety data we hold is conflicting — one rating says likely safe and another says possibly unsafe. There isn't enough clarity to know either way. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.
Can basil actually help with acne, headaches, or colds?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does. For acne, headache, common cold, and digestive issues like constipation and diarrhea, the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate basil as effective.
What's the difference between this extract and eating fresh basil?
This is a concentrated liquid extract made with glycerin. Fresh basil in food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts and essential oils haven't been studied as much, so the safety story is less clear.
Has anyone had side effects from basil?
One case of allergic contact dermatitis (a skin reaction) has been reported, though that was from occupational exposure to the plant. Overall, basil is generally well tolerated when used as food.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
The count reflects the total number of individual blood pressure and blood-thinning medications documented in our data. The interactions themselves are limited to those two drug categories — basil may amplify their effects.
