HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Leaf Extract by Herbadiet

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 one active ingredient: damiana leaf extract. Damiana is a traditional plant preparation used in herbal medicine, though human research on what it actually does is sparse.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inert shell.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Damiana's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: natural aphrodisiac and mood enhancer.
  • We looked for evidence on: Sexual dysfunction, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Depression, Menopausal symptoms, libido, sexual desire.
  • 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 Depression, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Menopausal symptoms.

The evidence for damiana isn't established in our data. Claims exist for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression — but we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of them.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the human trial data aren't there yet 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 amounts people traditionally eat or drink as food or tea, but human safety data are limited overall. At very high doses — 200 grams of extract — it has caused severe reactions including tetanus-like convulsions and seizures resembling strychnine poisoning.

There isn't enough safety data to know whether it's safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding; the data advises against use in both situations.

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 drug or blood sugar medication, check it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting damiana. Damiana may increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with these drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Damiana Leaf Extract may appeal to you if you're interested in traditional herbal approaches, but the evidence for what it does isn't solid yet. If you take blood sugar medication, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — it could lower your blood sugar further.

Talk it over with them to see if it fits your situation.

Damiana Leaf Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Damiana Leaf Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Leaf 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 Leaf 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.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction or any other condition?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Claims exist for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression, but human trials aren't robust enough to say whether it works for any of them.
Is damiana safe to take every day?
Damiana is likely fine in the amounts people traditionally consume as food or tea, but human safety data are limited. Very high doses — 200 grams of extract — have caused serious neurological reactions. Stick to normal doses and talk with your pharmacist if you're taking it long-term.
Can I take damiana if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. The available information advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to see what's best for your situation.
What's in the capsule besides the extract?
The capsule shell is made from vegetable cellulose, which is an inert filler. That's it — no other inactive ingredients.
I take metformin for diabetes. Can I use this product?
Damiana might lower your blood sugar further, which increases your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — they can advise whether it's safe for you or if your metformin dose needs adjustment.
