HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chokeberry 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.

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.

Chokeberry 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection contains one active ingredient: chokeberry, a berry rich in compounds that may support heart and brain health. The capsule also contains gelatin and water as inactive ingredients to hold and deliver the active ingredient.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 Chokeberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chokeberry'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 chokeberry is limited. Research suggests it is possibly ineffective for cardiovascular disease — meaning clinical trials have not shown meaningful benefit.

For age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, athletic performance, and cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works. Most claims about chokeberry's health benefits are not yet backed by solid clinical data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chokeberry

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.

Chokeberry is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety at higher doses is not well studied. In small clinical studies, people drinking chokeberry juice reported gastrointestinal side effects: constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting were most common.

Roughly 14% to 53% of study participants experienced these effects, depending on the dose and length of use. Because concentrated supplements haven't been thoroughly studied, use caution with this product.

We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for chokeberry.

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 — Chokeberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 812 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 with your pharmacist if you take trabectedin (a cancer medication), any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or clopidogrel), diabetes medications, or any other drugs broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 system — a large group that includes many statins, blood pressure drugs, and immunosuppressants. Altogether, these interactions span 812 individual medications.

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.

Chokeberry may be worth a try if you're interested in antioxidant support, but the evidence for specific health claims is weak or absent. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or especially trabectedin (a cancer drug), talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting it.

Stomach upset is common — start low and see how you tolerate it.

Chokeberry4 drug types · 811 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical and in vitro research suggests that chokeberry extract can temporarily inhibit platelet aggregation and decrease clot formation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that chokeberry decreases levels of blood glucose in some patients with diabetes. However, other clinical research suggests that chokeberry has no significant effect on blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that chokeberry inhibits CYP3A4. In humans, there is one case report of a drug interaction with trabectedin, a CYP3A4 substrate, which is hypothesized to have been caused by chokeberry inhibition of CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Trabectedin (Yondelis)

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the effects and adverse effects of trabectedin.
In one case report, a patient drinking chokeberry juice developed rhabdomyolysis induced by trabectedin, a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrate. It is possible that inhibition of CYP3A4 by chokeberry juice might have inhibited the metabolism of trabectedin and increased trabectedin levels in this patient.

Chokeberry 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Chokeberry 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chokeberry 450 mg has a known interaction with 811 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chokeberry 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.
Will chokeberry help my heart health?
Research suggests chokeberry is probably not effective for cardiovascular disease, so we don't have strong evidence it'll help your heart. If you're concerned about heart health, talk to your doctor about proven options.
What side effects might I get from this?
Stomach issues are the most common — constipation, diarrhea, nausea, cramps, and vomiting. In clinical studies, roughly 14% to 53% of people experienced these, depending on dose. Start with a lower dose to see how you tolerate it.
Is chokeberry safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for chokeberry in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing — they can help you decide if it's right for you.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners?
No — don't use this without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first. Chokeberry may thin your blood further, which raises your bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners like warfarin.
How much chokeberry is in one capsule?
Each capsule contains 450 mg of chokeberry.
