HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana by L.A. Naturals

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product is a liquid extract containing one active ingredient: ethically wild harvested damiana. The liquid is made with grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients.

The damiana leaf has been used traditionally for several purposes, though reliable evidence for many of those uses remains limited.

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: sexual function and arousal.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, libido, desire.
  • 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 we hold doesn't establish that damiana works for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression — all six uses carry insufficient evidence ratings. That doesn't mean damiana can't help, just that we don't have solid human trial data to confirm it does.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk it over with your pharmacist to weigh what research does exist outside this database.

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 well tolerated in small food or tea amounts for most adults, but human safety data overall are limited. The main safety concern comes from a case where a very high dose — 200 grams of damiana extract — caused tetanus-like convulsions and severe symptoms.

Typical doses would be much smaller, but this highlights that more is not always better with herbal extracts. Because safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding are insufficient, the evidence advises against use during either period.

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, or other blood sugar medications), you must check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before adding damiana — there's a Moderate risk that it could lower your blood sugar too much.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Damiana is a traditional herbal extract with limited human safety and effectiveness data. If you take any diabetes medications, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it, since there's a Moderate risk of blood sugar dropping too low.

Otherwise, chat with your pharmacist about what you're hoping to use it for and whether the current evidence supports that use.

Damiana by L.A. Naturals: Common Questions

Does Damiana by L.A. Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana 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 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.
Is damiana safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, not according to the safety data. There isn't enough information to know it's safe during either pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what options are available if you're looking for support.
What is damiana actually used for?
Traditionally, damiana has been used for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression. However, we don't have reliable human trial evidence showing it works for any of these uses yet.
Can damiana cause side effects?
In normal amounts, it's likely well tolerated. The main safety signal comes from a case where someone took a very large dose (200 grams of extract) and experienced severe convulsions and seizure-like symptoms. Human safety data are limited overall, so more research is needed.
How much damiana is safe to take?
The facts show damiana is likely fine in food or tea amounts for most adults, but larger supplement doses haven't been well studied in humans. Ask your pharmacist what dose is appropriate for what you're hoping to achieve.
Does damiana interact with my medications?
If you take diabetes medications, there's a moderate risk that damiana could lower your blood sugar too much. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications, and run the results past your doctor or pharmacist.
