HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 at 450 mg per capsule. Damiana is a plant used traditionally to support sexual function, mood, digestion, and cognition, though research backing these uses remains limited.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

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 sparse. The data we hold rates sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression all as insufficient evidence to rate—meaning we don't have solid science to confirm it works for any of these.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about whether the limited evidence makes sense for your situation.

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, but human safety data are limited, so we can't make strong claims about long-term use or high doses. One report documented that very large amounts of damiana extract (200 grams) caused severe neurological symptoms resembling tetanus.

There is not enough safety data to know if damiana is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; the data advises against it during both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or 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.

If you take any antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, glyburide, glipizide, or similar), check with your doctor or pharmacist before using damiana. These medications face a documented moderate-severity interaction with damiana due to the risk of low blood sugar.

Altogether, these interactions span 86 individual medications.

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 Leaf may appeal to you if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence that it works is not established in our data. The main interaction to watch is with diabetes medications, which carry a moderate risk of low blood sugar if combined with damiana.

Before you start, check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist—especially if you take anything to manage blood sugar.

Damiana Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Damiana Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Leaf 450 mg 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 Leaf 450 mg 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.
Does damiana actually help with sexual function?
The evidence we have is insufficient to say. Damiana has a long history in traditional use for sexual health, but modern research hasn't confirmed it works. If you're interested in trying it, talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for you.
Is damiana safe to take every day?
Human safety data are limited, so we can't say for certain. Food or tea amounts seem likely to be fine for most adults, but we don't have solid long-term safety research. If you plan to take it regularly, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Can I take this if I'm trying to get pregnant?
No, there is not enough safety data; the information advises against it during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor before using damiana if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What's in this capsule besides the damiana leaf?
The capsule is made from gelatin and water. Those are the only inactive ingredients—no added fillers or binders.
I take metformin for diabetes. Can I use this product?
Damiana may lower blood sugar on its own, and combining it with metformin could increase your risk of low blood sugar. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting damiana; they may want to monitor your blood sugar or adjust your dose.
