HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boneset 300 mg 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: boneset. Boneset is a plant traditionally used to support wellness, though the scientific evidence for its effectiveness is limited.

The capsule is filled with gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Boneset product and its label doesn't state a use — see Boneset'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 boneset's use in the common cold is insufficient—we don't have reliable data showing it works for that purpose. Because the scientific support isn't established, it's hard to know whether this product will do what you're hoping for.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Boneset

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.

Boneset has a significant safety caveat: it contains liver-toxic alkaloids (compounds in the plant) whose exact toxic potential hasn't been fully worked out. Nausea, severe diarrhea, and vomiting have been reported.

Liver damage is possible, especially at higher doses. The facts advise caution and short-term use at most, if you use it at all.

During pregnancy, boneset is considered possibly unsafe due to its potential toxicity and lack of safety data. Avoid it while breastfeeding, since the harmful alkaloids may pass to your infant and safety hasn't been established.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Boneset

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 — Boneset.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 88 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 you take Boneset 300 mg, check with your own doctor or pharmacist about any medications you're on that induce CYP3A4 enzymes—particularly anti-seizure drugs like carbamazepine. These drugs may increase how toxic boneset's alkaloids become in your body, creating a Moderate severity interaction.

For each ingredient in Boneset 300 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Boneset1 drug type · 87 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Inducers

Boneset belongs to the genus Eupatorium, and many species of this genus contain hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Hepatotoxic PAs are substrates of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Theoretically, drugs that induce CYP3A4 might increase the conversion of PAs to toxic metabolites. Some drugs that induce CYP3A4 include carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), rifampin, rifabutin (Mycobutin), and others.
