HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bronchitis Formula Powder 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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This powder contains 7 ingredients, including a proprietary blend of agrimony, coltsfoot, common ivy, mallow, mullein, poppy, and tarrify. The specific amount of each herb in the blend isn't disclosed on the label.

All of these are traditional herbal ingredients used to support respiratory health; there are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: respiratory health and bronchitis support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Asthma, Bronchitis, Cough, Influenza, Pneumonia, chest congestion — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Mullein is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bronchitis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Mullein is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Asthma, Cough, Influenza, Pneumonia.

The evidence for this formula is limited. Mullein is the only ingredient with effectiveness data on file, and for the respiratory purposes this product addresses — bronchitis and cough — the evidence is rated as insufficient.

We don't have effectiveness ratings for agrimony, coltsfoot, common ivy, mallow, poppy, or tarrify, so we can't speak to how well they work.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Agrimony Coltsfoot Mullein

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 2 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Three of the herbs here raise safety concerns. Coltsfoot is the biggest worry — it contains liver-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause serious liver and lung damage with chronic use; the product facts advise using only certified PA-free versions, if at all.

Agrimony has limited human safety data and is best used cautiously. Mullein is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though human safety data are sparse.

For pregnancy, all three of these ingredients carry warnings: agrimony and mullein are advised against due to insufficient safety information, while coltsfoot is rated as likely unsafe. For breastfeeding, agrimony and coltsfoot are advised against — coltsfoot because toxic alkaloids may enter breast milk — and mullein lacks enough data to be considered safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Agrimony Coltsfoot Mullein

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Mullein, Agrimony, Coltsfoot.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 461 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.

If you take blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin), blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), or antidiabetes drugs, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting. Also flag any medications that induce liver metabolism (such as carbamazepine or phenytoin), as coltsfoot may amplify its own toxic metabolites in that case.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is intended for respiratory support, but the evidence for how well it works isn't established in our data. If you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, or medications metabolized by your liver, you'll want to check this product against your exact medications before starting — the herb content poses documented interaction risks.

Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should talk with their pharmacist or doctor before use, particularly because coltsfoot carries serious safety warnings.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Bronchitis Formula Powder 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.

Coltsfoot, Powder3 drug types · 374 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Concomitant use might increase the risk of bleeding due to decreased platelet aggregation. Coltsfoot has been reported to inhibit platelet aggregation; avoid concomitant use. Some of these drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, excessive doses of coltsfoot may interfere with antihypertensive or cardiovascular therapy.

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

Hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) 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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Mullein powder1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Lab tests on extracts from different parts of common and dense-flowered mullein plants show that they do have some blood-thinning effects, as they increase the time it takes for blood to clot. This is likely due to at least one of the known constituents of muellein, triterpenoid saponins. However, the effects appear to be mild and results have been inconsistent. Extracts from different plant parts have been show to have varying anticoagulant strengths, with water-based ones being more potent than alcohol-based extracts.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence A

Agrimony, Powder1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking agrimony with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Agrimony has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects in animal research.

Bronchitis Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Bronchitis Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bronchitis Formula Powder has a known interaction with 460 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bronchitis Formula Powder contains 7 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Does this formula actually work for bronchitis?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Mullein, one of the herbs here, has insufficient reliable evidence for bronchitis and cough according to our sources. We don't have effectiveness information for the other ingredients in this blend.
Is coltsfoot in this powder safe?
Coltsfoot contains liver-toxic compounds called pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause serious liver and lung injury, especially with long-term use. The safety information advises using only certified PA-free products if you choose to use coltsfoot at all, and it's best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, this product is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Agrimony, coltsfoot, and mullein all lack sufficient safety data or are rated unsafe for these periods. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
What are these herbs supposed to do?
All seven ingredients — agrimony, coltsfoot, common ivy, mallow, mullein, poppy, and tarrify — are traditional herbal ingredients used to support respiratory health, but the amounts of each in the proprietary blend are not disclosed on the label.
Does mullein interact with blood thinners?
Yes, but mildly. Lab tests show mullein extracts have some blood-thinning effects and increase clotting time slightly. This is rated as a minor interaction, so the clinical impact appears small, but mention it to your pharmacist if you take blood thinners.
