HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caraway Seed 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 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: caraway seed at 450 mg per capsule. Caraway is a seed traditionally used to support digestion.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive support and gas relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Bloating, Indigestion.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Caraway is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Caraway is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Caraway seed is possibly effective for dyspepsia (indigestion or upset stomach). For other uses — amenorrhea (missing periods), asthma, constipation, and gas — the evidence isn't strong enough to rate its effectiveness.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Caraway

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.

Caraway seed in food amounts is generally well tolerated. However, concentrated supplements and caraway oil are less well studied.

The facts note that caraway oil combined with peppermint oil has been linked to allergic reactions in someone with asthma history, and to heartburn, belching, nausea, and vomiting — though it's unclear whether caraway, peppermint, or the combination caused these. During pregnancy, avoid medicinal or oil amounts; food amounts are likely fine but data are limited.

While breastfeeding, the safety of concentrated supplements isn't well studied, so food amounts are probably safer.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Caraway

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 — Caraway.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 413 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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, some pain relievers), blood sugar medications, diuretics (water pills), lithium, or tuberculosis antibiotics like isoniazid, rifampin, or pyrazinamide. These are the medication types we have interaction data for with caraway.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take it for indigestion, caraway may help — the evidence is decent for that. If you're on blood sugar medication, blood pressure pills, lithium, or certain antibiotics for tuberculosis, talk with your pharmacist first.

Caraway7 drug types · 413 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, caraway might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that caraway can reduce blood glucose levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Medication dose adjustments may be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that (S)-(+)-carvone, a major constituent of caraway seed extract, has sedative effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, caraway might increase the risk of hypokalemia when used with diuretics that deplete potassium.
Animal research suggests that a single dose of caraway fruit extract can promote diuresis and increase the urinary excretion of sodium and potassium. However, sub-chronic use of caraway fruit extract does not seem to significantly increase potassium excretion, although urine output continues to be increased for up to 6 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, caraway might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium due to diuretic effects.
Animal research suggests that caraway fruit extract has diuretic properties.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Isoniazid

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of isoniazid.
Animal research suggests that a specific fraction of caraway seed extract (CC-1a) can increase plasma levels of isoniazid when administered concomitantly. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pyrazinamide

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of pyrazinamide.
Animal research suggests that a specific fraction of caraway seed extract (CC-1a) can increase plasma levels of pyrazinamide when administered concomitantly. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Rifampin (Rifadin)

Theoretically, caraway might increase the effects and adverse effects of rifampin.
Animal research suggests that a specific fraction of caraway seed extract (CC-1a) can increase plasma levels of rifampin when administered concomitantly. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Caraway Seed 450 mg has a known interaction with 413 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Caraway Seed 450 mg 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.
What is caraway seed used for?
Caraway is possibly effective for dyspepsia — that's indigestion or stomach upset. It's also been studied for amenorrhea, asthma, constipation, and gas, but the evidence for those uses isn't strong enough yet.
Is caraway seed safe during pregnancy?
Medicinal amounts and caraway oil should be avoided in pregnancy. Food amounts are likely fine, but data are limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this supplement?
Food amounts of caraway are probably okay, but we don't have good safety data on concentrated supplements while breastfeeding. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
What side effects might caraway cause?
Most people tolerate it well. When caraway oil was combined with peppermint oil, some people reported heartburn, belching, nausea, vomiting, or rarely an allergic reaction — though it's not clear if caraway alone caused these or if peppermint was responsible.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure medication?
Caraway has diuretic properties, which matters if you're taking certain water pills or lithium. Run your exact medications through the checker on this page, or call your pharmacist before you start.
