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. The active ingredients are agrimony, coltsfoot, common ivy, mallow, mullein, poppy, and tarrify — all in powder form.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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 support for cough and bronchitis.
  • We looked for evidence on: Bronchitis, Cough, chest congestion, sore throat.
  • 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 Cough.

The evidence for these herbs in bronchitis isn't established in our data. Mullein has been studied for bronchitis, asthma, cough, migraine, and diarrhea, but the data we hold show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for any of those uses.

The same gaps apply to the other ingredients in this formula.

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.

Coltsfoot is the major safety concern. It contains liver-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause liver and lung damage, especially with chronic use.

The product should only be used if it's certified free of these alkaloids. Mullein is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though human safety data are limited and dermatitis has been reported in a couple of cases after skin contact or inhalation of plant dust.

Agrimony has been used in food-like amounts as a tea, but human safety data are sparse. During pregnancy, agrimony, coltsfoot, and mullein all lack enough safety information and are best avoided.

The same caution applies to breastfeeding — safety data are insufficient or absent for all three, so it's prudent to skip this product while nursing.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you use blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel), diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, or seizure or tuberculosis medications. Altogether, these interactions span 456 individual medications.

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 formula is aimed at bronchitis, but the evidence supporting its ingredients isn't established in our data. More importantly, it carries real drug interaction risks, especially with blood thinners and diabetes medications, and coltsfoot raises serious safety flags.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, particularly if you're on any blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or blood pressure medications.

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.
Is this safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Agrimony, coltsfoot, and mullein all lack sufficient safety data and are best avoided during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your OB or midwife before using any herbal product while pregnant or nursing.
Does mullein really thin the blood?
Lab tests show mullein does have mild blood-thinning effects, likely from compounds called triterpenoid saponins. The effects appear small, but they're real enough to be a concern if you're already on blood thinners.
What's the main safety problem with coltsfoot in this formula?
Coltsfoot contains plant toxins called pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can damage your liver and lungs, especially if you use it long-term. The product should only be used if it's certified free of these alkaloids. Many brands don't test for this, so be careful.
Will this help my bronchitis?
The evidence we have doesn't establish whether any of these herbs work for bronchitis. If you're dealing with bronchitis, talk with your doctor about proven treatments.
What ingredients does this powder contain?
It has 7 ingredients: agrimony, coltsfoot, common ivy, mallow, mullein, poppy, and tarrify, all in powder form. Some are part of a proprietary blend, so exact amounts aren't disclosed.
Why can't you check Common Ivy, Mallow, and Poppy for interactions?
We don't hold interaction data for those three ingredients, so we're not able to check them against your medications. That doesn't mean they're safe — just that the data aren't on file.
