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

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.

Chaya 450 mg is a single-ingredient supplement: 450 mg of chaya (spinach) per capsule. The capsules themselves are made with gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

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 Spinach product and its label doesn't state a use — see Spinach'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 for chaya isn't established in our data. The product claims potential benefits for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cognitive function, muscle strength, obesity, and polycystic ovary syndrome, but all of these ratings are insufficient—we just don't have reliable research to say whether it works for any of them.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Spinach

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.

Spinach as a food is generally well tolerated and is considered safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The main caution is for infants under 4 months old—there have been rare reports of a blood condition (methemoglobinemia) tied to spinach in that age group.

A small number of people with spinach allergies may experience allergic reactions, and occupational exposure to spinach powder has caused asthma and lung inflammation in rare cases.

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 — Spinach.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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 Chaya, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners like warfarin—spinach's vitamin K content requires consistent dosing to keep your medication working right. Also double-check if you take diabetes medications, since spinach may lower blood sugar and could increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

The bottom line

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

Chaya is a straightforward spinach supplement that's well tolerated by most adults. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, you'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it—the vitamin K in spinach and its blood-sugar effects can matter for those drugs.

Otherwise, discuss it with your own healthcare provider to see if it fits your needs.

Antidiabetes Drugs

There are claims that spinach leaves have hypoglycemic effects. Evidence from clinical research suggests that consumption of a spinach-rich meal reduces post-meal blood glucose levels. Theoretically, spinach might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Spinach contains vitamin K, which can interfere with the activity of warfarin.
In human research, although eating spinach with one meal does not result in coagulation test results outside the therapeutic range, daily consumption for one week necessitates dose adjustment of warfarin. Individuals using anticoagulants should consume a consistent daily amount of spinach to maintain the effect of anticoagulant therapy.

Chaya 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Chaya 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chaya 450 mg has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chaya 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.
Is chaya safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Spinach as a food is considered likely safe during both pregnancy and breastfeeding and provides folate, which is important in pregnancy. That said, any supplement decision in pregnancy or while nursing should be made with your doctor or pharmacist, since they know your full health picture.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Spinach contains vitamin K, which interferes with warfarin's blood-thinning effect. If you eat spinach consistently, warfarin may need a dose adjustment—but sudden changes in how much spinach you consume can throw off your blood tests. Your doctor or pharmacist will need to monitor you closely.
What does chaya actually do?
We don't have reliable evidence yet for chaya's effectiveness on any of the conditions it's marketed for—liver health, brain function, muscle strength, weight, or PCOS. The research just isn't solid enough to say it works.
Are there any side effects?
Spinach is well tolerated as a food for most people. Rarely, people with spinach allergies may have an allergic reaction, and there are isolated reports of asthma or lung inflammation tied to spinach powder exposure in occupational settings.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Check with your doctor before starting. Spinach may lower blood sugar, so combining it with antidiabetes drugs could push your blood sugar too low. Your doctor may need to adjust your medication dose if you do take both.
