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.

Black Chokeberry Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection contains one active ingredient: black chokeberry powder. This is a concentrated form of the berry, which gives you the plant's natural compounds in a powder you can mix into drinks or food.

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 for black chokeberry is mixed and often limited. For cardiovascular disease, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective — meaning studies haven't shown it works as a preventive or treatment.

For age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), athletic performance, and cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not. If you're considering this powder for one of those reasons, talk with your doctor about whether it's the right choice for you.

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.

Black chokeberry is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food, but concentrated supplements like this powder haven't been well studied for safety. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting.

In small studies, when people drank chokeberry juice daily, roughly 14 to 53 percent reported one or more of these effects. Because supplement safety at concentrated doses isn't well established, use caution with this product.

We don't have enough safety data for breastfeeding, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking it if you're nursing.

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 powder, double-check with us if you take trabectedin (a cancer drug), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin, diabetes medications, or any other prescription drugs your liver processes. We have no interactions documented for the ingredients we could check if you don't take any of these — but that's not a guarantee no interactions exist.

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.

Black chokeberry powder may be worth considering if you're looking for a natural antioxidant, but the evidence for specific health claims is limited or absent. The bigger concern is drug interactions — especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or trabectedin.

Check your medications with the tool on this page, and talk with your pharmacist before you start.

Black Chokeberry, Powder4 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.

Black Chokeberry Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Black Chokeberry Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Black Chokeberry Powder 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?
Black Chokeberry Powder 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 side effects might I get from this chokeberry powder?
The most common ones are stomach-related: constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. In small studies of chokeberry juice, about 14 to 53 percent of people reported one or more of these, depending on how much they took and for how long. Most people tolerate it okay, but if your stomach is sensitive, start with a small amount.
Does this powder actually work for heart health or anything else?
Studies suggest chokeberry is possibly ineffective for heart disease prevention or treatment. For memory problems, macular degeneration, athletic performance, and cancer, there just isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it helps. It's a nutritious berry, but don't count on it as a treatment for any of those.
Is it safe to take if I'm breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety information for chokeberry supplements during breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before you start — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Can I take this with my blood thinner?
Chokeberry may lower your blood's ability to clot, so combining it with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin could raise your bleeding risk. Don't start this powder without checking with us or your pharmacist first — we can look up your exact medication.
What is black chokeberry, exactly?
It's a small dark berry native to North America, packed with antioxidants. This powder is a concentrated form — more potent than eating the fresh berries.
Will this affect my diabetes medication?
Chokeberry may lower blood sugar in some people, so there's a theoretical risk of blood sugar dropping too low if you're also on diabetes drugs. The evidence is mixed — some studies show it lowers blood sugar, others don't — so talk with your doctor before you take it.
