HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana by Oregon's Wild Harvest

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: organic damiana, a plant traditionally used for various purposes. The capsule itself is made from pullulan, an inactive ingredient that serves as the capsule material.

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

That means either the research is too limited or too mixed to draw a firm conclusion — not that it doesn't work, but that we don't have solid proof yet that it does.

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, though typical food and tea amounts appear likely fine for most adults. At very high doses — 200 grams of damiana extract — severe neurological effects have been reported, including tetanus-like convulsions and symptoms resembling strychnine poisoning.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

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 (for type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or any blood sugar medication), check your exact medication with the search tool on this page before starting damiana. The risk is low blood sugar, which your doctor or pharmacist should help you watch for.

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 herbal supplement with limited human safety data and no established evidence for the conditions it's traditionally used for. If you take diabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it — it may lower your blood sugar further.

Damiana by Oregon's Wild Harvest: Common Questions

Does Damiana by Oregon's Wild Harvest 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 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. There's insufficient reliable evidence to rate it one way or the other — which means we don't have solid proof yet that it does or doesn't.
What are the side effects of damiana?
Human safety data are limited for typical amounts. At very high doses (200 grams of damiana extract), serious neurological effects have been reported, including convulsions and symptoms resembling strychnine poisoning — but these are extreme amounts, not typical use.
Can I take damiana if I'm on diabetes medication?
That depends on your exact medication and your doctor's assessment. Damiana may lower blood sugar, so combined with diabetes drugs it could raise the risk of low blood sugar. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What's actually in this capsule besides damiana?
Just pullulan, which is the capsule material itself. There are no other fillers or inactive ingredients.
