HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana 900 mg by BodSmith

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.

Damiana 900 mg is a single-ingredient supplement in capsule form. Each capsule contains damiana, a plant-based ingredient.

The capsules also contain gelatin and rice powder as inactive ingredients (fillers and binders).

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: supports sexual health and physical stamina.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, Libido, Sexual performance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Damiana is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Damiana is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED).

The evidence on damiana isn't established for any of its common uses. Our data rates sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression all as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning studies haven't shown it works for these purposes, or the research just isn't there yet.

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 small amounts found in food or tea for most adults, but human safety data are limited. There isn't enough safety data for use during pregnancy — the data advises against it.

There also isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding — avoid it while nursing. At very high doses (200 grams of extract), damiana has caused severe muscle spasms and convulsion-like symptoms in case reports.

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 (any medication that lowers blood sugar), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding damiana. The documented risk is moderate — damiana may lower your blood sugar further, raising the risk of hypoglycemia.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Damiana hasn't shown reliable benefit for any common health claim in our data. If you're taking any diabetes medication, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — the risk of low blood sugar is real.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off-limits given the safety gaps.

Damiana 900 mg by BodSmith: Common Questions

Does Damiana 900 mg by BodSmith interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana 900 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 900 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.
What is damiana used for?
Damiana is used by some for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression — but our data show insufficient reliable evidence that it actually works for any of these.
Is damiana safe during pregnancy?
No. The data advise against damiana in pregnancy because there isn't enough safety information. Talk with your doctor about your options if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Is damiana safe while breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it while nursing. Discuss your needs with your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the side effects of damiana?
In normal amounts, damiana is likely tolerated well in most adults, though human safety data are limited. At very high doses (200 grams of extract), case reports describe severe muscle spasms and convulsion-like symptoms. The dose in this product is much lower.
Can I take damiana with my diabetes medication?
Don't start damiana without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Animal research shows damiana can lower blood sugar, so combining it with diabetes drugs raises the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low.
