HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana 800 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 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: damiana, an 800 mg herbal extract per capsule. The capsules also contain three inactive ingredients—rice flour, vegetable cellulose (the capsule material itself), and calcium silicate—that serve as fillers and flow agents.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Damiana product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Damiana's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“promotes overall health and wellbeing”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for damiana isn't established in our data. The facts we hold show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the research backing these uses hasn't been strong or extensive enough yet to draw firm conclusions.

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 the smaller amounts you'd get from food or tea for most adults, but human safety data are limited. At very high doses—we have one report of 200 grams of damiana extract causing severe symptoms like tetanus-like convulsions—it can cause serious harm, though this is an extreme amount.

There isn't enough safety data to use damiana during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The facts advise against it in both cases.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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 any antidiabetes drug—insulin, metformin, or other blood-sugar medications—double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product, since damiana may lower blood glucose and increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Damiana might appeal to you if you're interested in herbal remedies for sexual function or mood, though the evidence supporting those uses isn't strong yet. The main caution is if you take antidiabetes medication—you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first because of the risk of low blood sugar.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it until you've talked it over with your healthcare provider.

Damiana 800 mg by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Damiana 800 mg by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana 800 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 800 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 damiana if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, not safely. The safety data aren't available, and the facts advise against use during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
What is damiana actually used for?
Traditionally it's been used for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, mood, brain function, and constipation—but the evidence supporting any of these uses is insufficient in our data, meaning the research hasn't been strong or complete enough yet to confirm whether it works.
Is damiana safe at this dose?
At 800 mg per capsule, it's likely fine for most adults, though human safety data are limited. Very high doses (like 200 grams of extract) have caused severe symptoms in one reported case, so stick to label dosing and check with your pharmacist if you have questions.
I take insulin. Can I use this?
You'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Damiana can lower blood glucose, so combining it with insulin or other blood-sugar drugs raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). They can help you decide if it's safe for you.
