HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Haw Bark 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: Black Haw Bark Glycerite Liquid Extract. It's a liquid extract made from black haw bark, a plant used in traditional medicine.

The inactive ingredient is glycerin, which serves as the base.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Black Haw's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: menstrual cramps and uterine support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Miscarriage, menstrual pain, uterine spasms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Black Haw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Miscarriage (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Black Haw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dysmenorrhea.

The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Black haw has been used traditionally for asthma, diarrhea, and menstrual symptoms, but there isn't reliable evidence yet to rate how well it works for any of these.

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.

Human safety data are limited, so caution is warranted. The effects on the uterus are uncertain — if you're pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, avoid this product unless a doctor advises otherwise.

There isn't enough safety information for nursing mothers, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're breastfeeding.
