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.

Cramp Bark by Herbal Terra contains one active ingredient: a liquid extract of wildcrafted Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus) dried bark. The product also includes menstruum as an inactive ingredient — the liquid base used to make the extract.

Cramp Bark is a traditional herbal remedy used to support muscle relaxation and ease cramping, though the strength of evidence for these uses varies.

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: muscle and menstrual cramp relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Muscle cramps, Pregnancy-related leg cramps, muscle tension, menstrual pain.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cramp Bark is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle cramps (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cramp Bark is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dysmenorrhea, Pregnancy-related leg cramps.

The evidence for Cramp Bark is not yet established. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for muscle cramps, dysmenorrhea (period pain), pregnancy-related leg cramps, kidney stones, or diabetes.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the clinical trials needed to prove its effects aren't yet solid enough to say one way or the other. If you're thinking about trying it for a specific reason, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the current science supports.

We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Cramp Bark. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cramp Bark 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.
Can I take Cramp Bark while pregnant?

Does Cramp Bark actually work for muscle cramps?
The evidence isn't yet solid enough to say. Our data show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for muscle cramps — which means we don't have strong clinical trials backing it up yet, not that it doesn't work. If you're interested in trying it, talk with your doctor about what to expect.
What is Cramp Bark used for traditionally?
Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus) has been used in traditional medicine to support muscle relaxation and ease cramping, including period cramps and leg cramps. Modern evidence for these uses is still being developed.
