HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana by TerraVita

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.

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 Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract. It's prepared as a liquid extract using glycerin as the carrier.

Damiana has been used traditionally for a range of purposes, though the evidence supporting most of those uses remains limited.

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 we have doesn't establish damiana as effective for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression. All of these uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean damiana doesn't work — it means the research isn't there yet to confirm 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.

Damiana is likely fine in small amounts like you'd get from tea or food, but human safety data are limited overall. At very high doses (200 grams of extract), damiana has caused serious effects including tetanus-like convulsions and symptoms resembling poisoning.

The safety data don't support use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it in those situations.

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.

Check before taking this if you use any antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or other blood sugar medications). The risk is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

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.

If you take diabetes medication, talk to your pharmacist before adding this product — the blood sugar effect is real and worth checking. For anyone else without that concern, the main issue is limited safety data, so it's not a first choice unless you're set on trying it.

Your pharmacist can help you weigh the risks.

Damiana by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Damiana by TerraVita 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 — there isn't enough safety data to support use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction?
The evidence we have isn't reliable enough to say it does. That doesn't mean it won't help you, but the research backing it up isn't solid yet.
What's in this besides damiana?
The active ingredient is damiana leaf extract. The liquid is made with glycerin, which is an inactive carrier.
Can damiana cause side effects?
In typical doses, it's generally well tolerated. At very high doses (200 grams of extract), it has caused serious effects like convulsions and seizure-like symptoms. Stick to the label dose.
Why does damiana interact with diabetes drugs?
Animal research shows damiana lowers blood glucose. If you're already taking a drug that does the same thing, your blood sugar could drop too far.
