HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boxthorn Berry Mint 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.

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: boxthorn berry glycerite liquid extract, also known as goji berry extract. It's delivered in a liquid form with glycerin and mint flavor 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 Goji product and its label doesn't state a use — see Goji'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 does not establish that boxthorn berry is effective for sunburn, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, weight loss, or quality of life. Each of those areas is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh what's actually been proven.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Goji

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.

Goji berries are generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplements have less safety data behind them. A small number of case reports have linked goji to liver inflammation (hepatitis) and allergic reactions, including swelling of the face and throat, itching in the mouth and ears, and in rare cases, severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

The safety data advises against using medicinal amounts during pregnancy due to limited data and traditional concerns about effects on the uterus. There isn't enough reliable information on supplement use while breastfeeding, so caution is advised — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Goji

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Goji.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,001 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.

Blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin are the biggest concern — goji can increase bleeding risk. Also double-check any blood pressure medications, heart rhythm drugs (especially flecainide), diabetes medications, and any prescription your doctor or pharmacist tells you is processed through your liver.

If you're unsure whether a drug is affected, use the medication checker on this page or ask your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood thinners like warfarin, this product is not for you without a conversation with your doctor first — the interaction is well documented and serious. If you take any prescription medication that goes through your liver (most do), check it with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Otherwise, goji is generally tolerated, but pregnant people should avoid it, and those breastfeeding should ask their provider first.

Boxthorn Berry Glycerite Liquid Extract8 drug types · 1,000 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Goji can increase the effects of warfarin and possibly increase the risk of bleeding.
There are at least 5 case reports of increased international normalized ratio (INR) in patients stabilized on warfarin who began drinking goji juice, concentrated goji tea, or goji wine. Goji may inhibit the metabolism of warfarin by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9).

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji root bark, but not goji fruit, with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that goji root bark has hypotensive effects. However, goji fruit juice does not appear to reduce systolic or diastolic blood pressure in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C19 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C19 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2C9 and reduce metabolism of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry tincture and juice inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. Additionally, multiple case reports suggest that goji berry concentrated tea and juice inhibit the metabolism of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2C9 substrates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP2D6 and reduce metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP2D6 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, goji berry might inhibit CYP3A4 and reduce metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that goji berry juice inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use with goji may decrease metabolism and increase levels of CYP3A4 substrates. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Flecainide (Tambocor)

Theoretically, goji berry might increase the levels and clinical effects of flecainide.
In one case report, a 75-year-old patient stable on flecainide and warfarin presented to the emergency room with fainting and pleomorphic arrhythmia caused by flecainide toxicity. Flecainide toxicity was attributed to drinking 1-2 glasses of concentrated goji tea daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, goji may have inhibited the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolism of flecainide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of goji fruit polysaccharides or goji root bark with antidiabetes drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and in vitro research show that goji root bark and fruit polysaccharides might have hypoglycemic effects. However, clinical research has only shown that taking goji fruit polysaccharides with or without antidiabetes drugs modestly reduces postprandial glucose when compared with control, with no reports of hypoglycemia.

Boxthorn Berry Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Boxthorn Berry Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Boxthorn Berry Mint Flavor has a known interaction with 1,000 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Boxthorn Berry Mint 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.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Goji can make warfarin stronger and increase your bleeding risk — we have multiple case reports of this happening. Your doctor may decide it's okay with close monitoring, or they may advise against it.
Is goji berry safe to take while I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against using medicinal amounts during pregnancy because of limited safety information and traditional concerns about uterine effects. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What's the difference between goji berries as food and this supplement?
You can eat goji berries as food without major safety worries. This is a concentrated liquid extract, which delivers much larger amounts and has less safety data. That's why it's riskier to combine with medications.
Can this lower my blood sugar if I'm on diabetes medication?
Theoretically, goji polysaccharides might add to the blood-sugar-lowering effects of your diabetes drugs, but this hasn't been proven in people yet. If you take diabetes medication, check with your pharmacist before starting.
What are the side effects of goji berry?
Goji is generally well tolerated, but allergic reactions have been reported — including swelling of the face and throat, itching in the mouth and ears, and rarely, severe allergic reaction. Very rare cases of liver inflammation have also been reported, though it's unclear whether goji was solely responsible.
Does this actually do anything for my health?
We don't have reliable evidence that goji berry works for sunburn, heart health, blood pressure, weight loss, or quality of life. If you're considering it for a specific reason, your doctor can help you decide if it's worth trying.
