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 extract. Damiana is a plant-based ingredient traditionally used in herbal preparations.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 established in the data we hold. The product's monograph rates its use for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression all as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate — meaning studies haven't yet made a clear case for how well it works on any of these.

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 food or tea amounts for most adults, though human safety data are limited. At very high doses (200 grams of extract), it has caused serious effects including tetanus-like convulsions and symptoms similar to rabies or strychnine poisoning — effects that don't show up at normal supplement doses, but worth knowing about if someone were to take far more than directed.

The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, don't take this product without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first.

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 your antidiabetes medications before taking damiana. The product may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used alongside these drugs.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's safe for you.

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 Extract is a single-ingredient supplement with limited human safety data and unproven effectiveness for the conditions it's marketed for. The main concern is its potential to lower blood sugar when combined with diabetes medications.

If you take any blood sugar–lowering drugs, check this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Damiana Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Damiana Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Extract 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 Extract 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 damiana if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data to know whether damiana is safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so the data advise against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction or brain function?
The evidence isn't established yet. Studies haven't provided reliable proof that damiana works for sexual dysfunction, cognitive function, or the other uses listed — so we can't say whether it will help.
Is damiana safe to take every day?
At normal supplement doses, damiana is likely tolerated fine in most adults, though human safety data are limited. Very high doses (200 grams) have caused serious convulsions, but that's far beyond a typical daily dose. Still, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
What is damiana, and what's it supposed to do?
Damiana is a plant extract traditionally used in herbal supplements. It's marketed for sexual function, mood, digestion, asthma, and brain function, though solid evidence for these uses hasn't been established yet.
