HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cabbage 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

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: cabbage powder. Cabbage is a leafy green vegetable from the Brassicaceae family, offered here in powdered form for convenience.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

Does it work?

Moderate 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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Cabbage's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Cabbage for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Breast engorgement — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for cabbage powder is limited. We have the strongest data for breast engorgement, where it's rated possibly effective—some people report relief when chilled cabbage leaves are applied to the breast, though you should check with your provider first.

For other conditions like colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and high cholesterol, the evidence isn't established enough to rate it one way or the other.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cabbage

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.

Cabbage is safe to eat as a normal food for most people. However, this product is a concentrated powder, and large medicinal amounts haven't been well studied, so use caution and don't assume a supplement dose is the same as eating cabbage at the dinner table.

Topically, cabbage leaf wraps are generally well tolerated, though contact dermatitis (skin irritation) is possible. If you're allergic to broccoli, cauliflower, or other vegetables in the cabbage family, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this—anaphylactic reactions to related vegetables have been reported, though allergic reactions to cabbage itself are rare.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Cabbage

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 — Cabbage.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 325 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, double-check if you're on blood thinners (especially warfarin), diabetes medications, acetaminophen, sedatives like oxazepam, or any drug that your liver breaks down via CYP1A2 or glucuronide conjugation—cabbage powder can reduce how well these work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cabbage powder might appeal to you if you're interested in a whole-food supplement—especially if you're curious about its traditional use for breast engorgement. But if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, acetaminophen, sedatives, or any other prescription drug metabolized by your liver, you need to check your medications with the tool on this page first.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, particularly if you take warfarin or any other medication regularly.

A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and Brussels sprout decreases acetaminophen levels by as much as 16%, with some evidence suggesting that this effect is due to increased elimination through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, cabbage might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vivo research suggests that cabbage might have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, cabbage might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Some animal research suggests that cabbage or its constituent indole-3-carbinol might increase drug metabolism and elimination by stimulating CYP1A2 activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, cabbage might increase clearance and decrease the effects of drugs metabolized through glucuronide conjugation.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and Brussels sprout decreases levels of some drugs metabolized through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Oxazepam (Serax)

Cabbage might increase clearance and reduce the effects of oxazepam.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and brussels sprout decreases oxazepam levels by as much as 17%, with some evidence suggesting that this effect is due to increased elimination through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, cabbage might decrease the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
Cabbage contains vitamin K. If consumed in large quantities, cabbage might decrease the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.

Cabbage Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Cabbage Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cabbage Powder has a known interaction with 325 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cabbage Powder 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.
Is cabbage powder safe to use while breastfeeding?
Yes, cabbage is rated likely safe during breastfeeding. However, this is a concentrated powder supplement, and large medicinal amounts haven't been thoroughly studied, so talk to your provider or pharmacist about the right dose for your situation.
Is cabbage powder safe to use during pregnancy?
We don't have enough data on file to say whether it's safe or unsafe during pregnancy. Eating cabbage as a food is fine, but concentrated supplements are a different story. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does cabbage powder actually help with breast engorgement?
Possibly. Some research suggests chilled cabbage leaves applied to the breast may help with engorgement, which is why it's rated possibly effective. But talk to your provider first if you're thinking of trying it this way.
Can cabbage powder help prevent cancer?
The evidence isn't clear yet. We don't have enough reliable data to rate cabbage powder for colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, or bladder cancer, so we can't say it prevents them.
What are the side effects of cabbage powder?
When applied to the skin as a leaf wrap, cabbage is generally well tolerated, though one person reported itching and burning (which turned out to be unrelated—they had shingles). Rarely, cabbage leaf wraps may cause contact dermatitis. If you're allergic to broccoli or cauliflower, you might also react to cabbage, and anaphylactic reactions to related vegetables have been reported.
