HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Chocolate Flavor 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.

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: damiana leaf glycerite liquid extract. Damiana is a plant extract traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin (the liquid base) and chocolate flavor.

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 is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research backing isn't solid enough yet to make a claim either way.

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 the small amounts used in food or tea for most adults, but human safety data are limited overall. High doses are concerning: 200 grams of damiana extract has caused severe, convulsion-like reactions resembling tetanus or strychnine poisoning in reports.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data — the product should be avoided. The same holds for breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering this product.

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 any antidiabetes drug (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others), double-check before using damiana — it may increase the risk of low blood sugar. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients 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 Chocolate Flavor is a single-ingredient herbal extract with limited evidence for the conditions it's traditionally used for. The main concern is risk of low blood sugar if you take antidiabetes medications.

If you're on diabetes drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it due to insufficient safety data.

Damiana Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Damiana Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Chocolate Flavor 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 Chocolate Flavor 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data to know whether damiana is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the safety notes advise against both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about other options if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Does damiana actually help with sexual dysfunction?
The evidence isn't solid enough to say. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate damiana for sexual dysfunction, so we can't claim it works or doesn't work based on the research we have.
What are the side effects?
At normal doses, damiana is generally well tolerated in small amounts. At very high doses — 200 grams of extract — severe convulsion-like reactions have been reported. The everyday doses in products like this are much smaller, but always follow the label directions.
Is damiana safe for most people?
It's likely fine in small food or tea amounts for most adults, but human safety data overall are limited. If you have diabetes, take medications regularly, are pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
I take diabetes medication. Is this safe for me?
Not without checking first. Damiana may lower blood sugar on its own, so combining it with diabetes drugs could cause your blood sugar to drop too far. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — they can tell you if it's okay for you.
