HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Extract by BulkSupplements.com

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 extract, made from the damiana plant. The extract itself is what you're getting — there are no other active ingredients.

We hold no data on any inactive ingredients or fillers that may be in the formulation.

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 isn't established for the uses damiana is often marketed for. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the quality or quantity of research data available to us isn't strong enough to say one way or the other.

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 you'd get from food or tea for most adults, but human safety data are limited. At very high doses — 200 grams of extract — damiana has caused serious side effects including convulsions and symptoms resembling tetanus or strychnine poisoning.

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

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Damiana

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 your exact antidiabetes medications (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, and others) before you start — damiana may increase the risk of low blood sugar. Run them through the checker below, or ask your doctor or pharmacist.

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 evidence for what it's marketed to do. The main concern is if you take antidiabetes medication — you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data recommend avoiding it until you've talked it over with your healthcare provider.

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?
The safety data advise against it. There isn't enough research on damiana in pregnancy and lactation to know it's safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction or depression?
The evidence isn't strong enough for us to rate it either way. We hold insufficient reliable evidence for sexual dysfunction, depression, and the other uses it's marketed for — that means the research data available don't give us a clear answer yet.
What are the side effects of damiana?
In normal food or tea amounts, it's likely fine for most adults, but human safety data are limited. At very high doses — 200 grams of extract — it's caused serious symptoms including convulsions and tetanus-like reactions. Stick to normal supplement doses and talk with your pharmacist if you have concerns.
How much damiana is in this product?
The product facts provided don't list a specific dose per serving. Check the label or contact BulkSupplements.com directly for the concentration or serving size.
