HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana by Village Vitality

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

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 a single active ingredient: ethically wild harvested damiana, a plant extract. The liquid also includes grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 desire support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, Libido, Arousal.
  • 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 on damiana doesn't establish whether it works for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression. We don't have the data to say one way or the other on 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.

Damiana is thought to be generally well tolerated in amounts typical of food or tea for most adults, though human safety data are limited. High doses carry a real risk: 200 grams of damiana extract has caused serious symptoms including tetanus-like convulsions and effects resembling rabies or strychnine poisoning.

There isn't enough safety data to use damiana during pregnancy or while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

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.

Village Vitality Damiana Liquid might be considered by people exploring traditional herbal remedies, but evidence for its effectiveness is limited and human safety data are sparse. If you take blood sugar medication, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this—the risk of low blood sugar is a real one.

Always talk it over with your own healthcare provider before starting.
