HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana 2,000 mg by Nature's Answer

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: damiana extract from the aerial parts (leaves and stems) of Turnera diffusa var. aphrodisiaca, a plant used traditionally in herbal medicine. The liquid also holds purified water, vegetable glycerin, and certified organic alcohol (12–15%) as inactive ingredients that keep the extract stable and drinkable.

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 Damiana product and its label doesn't state a use — see Damiana'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 we hold for damiana doesn't support calling it effective for any of the uses it's marketed for — sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the data isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Damiana

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.

Damiana is likely fine in small food or tea amounts for most adults, but human safety data are limited. We don't have enough data to know if it's safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so the facts advise against use during both.

One important note: very high doses of damiana extract (200 grams) have caused serious symptoms like tetanus-like convulsions in case reports, though this is far above typical supplement doses.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Damiana

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 — Damiana.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, glipizide, or similar), double-check this product with your pharmacist or doctor first — damiana may lower your blood sugar and heighten the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with your medication.

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.

If you don't take diabetes medication and aren't pregnant or breastfeeding, damiana is generally well tolerated in typical doses, though human safety data are sparse. If you do take insulin or diabetes pills, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — the blood-sugar-lowering effect is a real concern.

Either way, confirm it's right for you with your own healthcare provider.

Damiana 2,000 mg by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Damiana 2,000 mg by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana 2,000 mg has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Damiana 2,000 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for damiana during pregnancy and breastfeeding aren't established, so the facts advise against use in both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction or other uses it's marketed for?
The evidence we hold rates damiana as having insufficient reliable evidence for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression — so we can't say it works for these purposes based on current data.
What's in this liquid besides the damiana?
The product contains purified water, vegetable glycerin, and 12–15% certified organic alcohol as inactive ingredients that stabilize and preserve the extract.
Is damiana safe at high doses?
Very high doses (200 grams of extract) have caused serious symptoms like tetanus-like convulsions in case reports. Standard supplement doses are much lower, but human safety data overall are limited.
I take diabetes medication — is this safe for me?
Damiana may lower your blood sugar, which combined with your diabetes medication could cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
