HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana by BIOVEA

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 liquid contains one active ingredient: damiana, a botanical extract. The product also holds grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients to deliver the damiana in liquid form.

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 data we hold rates damiana's evidence as insufficient to establish whether it works for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression. In plain terms: we don't have enough reliable human research to say whether it's effective for any of these uses.

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.

Human safety data for damiana are limited. In food or tea amounts, it's likely tolerated well by most adults — but we don't have robust safety studies to be certain.

Very high doses of damiana extract (200 grams) have caused tetanus-like convulsions and severe neurological symptoms in rare cases. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: there isn't enough safety data to know either way.

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

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 or insulin, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding damiana — it may increase the risk of low blood sugar. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check.

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.

Damiana is a single-ingredient liquid extract. If you take blood sugar medication, you'll want to flag this product with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interaction could lower your glucose too much.

For other uses, the evidence isn't established yet. A conversation with your own healthcare provider will help you decide if it fits your situation.
