HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bowel Detox Formula 450 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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Bowel Detox Formula 450 mg contains 3 active ingredients: a proprietary blend (the specific amounts of each component aren't disclosed on the label), psyllium, kelp, and chlorophyll. The product also contains inactive ingredients — gelatin (the capsule material) and water.
Does it work?
Not established
The effectiveness data we hold for the active ingredients in this formula shows insufficient evidence for all claimed uses. Neither kelp nor chlorophyll have reliable evidence supporting their use for aging skin, heart disease, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion.
Psyllium's effectiveness wasn't included in our data for this product. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about whether the evidence backs it up.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Kelp is the safety concern here. It contains variable and sometimes high amounts of iodine that can disrupt your thyroid function, and it may concentrate heavy metals from seawater.
Kelp is unsafe in pregnancy due to excess iodine, and it should be avoided while breastfeeding because iodine passes into breast milk and may affect your baby's thyroid. Common side effects from kelp when taken by mouth include goiter (enlarged thyroid), overactive thyroid, and underactive thyroid.
A rare but serious side effect is thyroid cancer. Chlorophyll is generally well tolerated in short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited.
The most common side effect is photosensitization — increased sensitivity to sunlight. Pregnancy safety information is insufficient, so it's best avoided; breastfeeding safety is unknown, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against these drug types before taking this product: lithium (Moderate), antithyroid drugs (Moderate), thyroid hormone replacements (Moderate), amiodarone (Moderate), photosensitizing drugs (Moderate), methotrexate (Moderate), and three enzyme-metabolized drug families (Minor). If you take any of these, run them through the checker on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product carries meaningful medication interactions, especially if you take lithium, thyroid medications, amiodarone, methotrexate, or blood thinners. The kelp ingredient poses thyroid and iodine concerns, particularly in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Before you start, check your exact medications with the search tool here and talk with your pharmacist.

Bowel Detox Formula 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bowel Detox Formula 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection does interact with several medication types.
Its kelp ingredient (Fucus vesiculosus) carries the most serious concern: a Moderate interaction with lithium, a mood stabilizer used for bipolar disorder. Taking kelp with lithium has triggered overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) in at least one documented case, so thyroid hormones need close monitoring if you're on both.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Kelp's high iodine content also causes Moderate interactions with antithyroid drugs, thyroid hormone replacements, and amiodarone (a heart rhythm medication) — iodine can push your thyroid function in unpredictable directions depending on your medical history. Additionally, kelp has Minor interactions documented with three enzyme systems (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 substrates) that affect how your liver processes many drugs, plus Minor interaction potential with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs.
Chlorophyll, another active ingredient here, carries Moderate interactions with photosensitizing drugs (medications that increase your skin's reaction to sunlight) and with methotrexate, a cancer and autoimmune medication — one case showed delayed methotrexate clearance when chlorophyll was taken alongside it.
We could not check psyllium — no data is on file for it. Altogether, these interactions span 1,071 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Bowel Detox Formula 450 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Kelp
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, combining Fucus vesiculosus with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use might increase the risk of having excessive iodine levels and adversely affecting thyroid function. Monitor thyroid function.
Antithyroid Drugs
Due to its iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking Fucus vesiculosus while using antithyroid drugs could alter the effects of the antithyroid drugs.
Lithium
Concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus and lithium has resulted in hyperthyroidism.
There is a case of hyperthyroidism occurring in a patient taking Fucus vesiculosus and lithium. Monitor thyroid hormones closely in patients taking lithium and Fucus vesiculosus concomitantly.
Thyroid Hormone
Due to its iodine content, Fucus vesiculosus might alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Fucus vesiculosus contains high concentrations of iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking Fucus vesiculosus while using thyroid hormone could alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking Fucus vesiculosus with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro evidence suggests that a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, known as fucoidan, has anticoagulant effects. However, in clinical research, fucoidan does not seem to have significant anticoagulant activity when taken orally, possibly due to poor absorption.
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (Cyp2C8) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2C8 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP2C8. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2C9 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP2C9. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP2D6 substrates might alter the effects of these substrates.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, both inhibits and induces CYP2D6. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, concomitant use of Fucus vesiculosus with CYP3A4 substrates might increase the risk for adverse effects.
In vitro research shows that fucoidan, a constituent of Fucus vesiculosus, inhibits CYP3A4. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Chlorophyll
Methotrexate (Trexall, Others)
Theoretically, chlorophyll may reduce the clearance of methotrexate.
In one case report, a 54-year-old male developed delayed clearance of intravenous high-dose methotrexate with concomitant use of chlorophyll. When chlorophyll was stopped 2 days prior to methotrexate treatment, methotrexate clearance was unaffected.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of chlorophyll with photosensitizing drugs may have additive effects.
Chlorophyll has been reported to cause photosensitization. In two case reports, pseudoporphyria developed after oral intake of chlorophyll. Theoretically, concomitant use with other photosensitizing drugs may exacerbate this effect.
