HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Leaf Extract Powder 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

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 is a single active ingredient: Damiana Leaf Extract in powder form. Damiana is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine; this extract concentrates its compounds into powder you can mix with water or food.

There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

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.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, 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 Erectile dysfunction (ED).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish damiana's effectiveness for any condition. It's been used traditionally for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, mood, cognition, and constipation, but the data rates all of these as insufficient to say whether it actually works.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, that's a conversation to have with your doctor or pharmacist.

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.

Human safety data for damiana are limited. Small amounts in food or tea are generally well tolerated for most adults, but we don't have enough evidence to say it's safe at higher doses.

At very high doses—200 grams of extract—damiana has caused severe muscle spasms and convulsions resembling tetanus or strychnine poisoning, though this is rare. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data aren't sufficient; the facts advise against it during both periods.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be.

  • 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 antidiabetes drugs (including insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or any other medication for blood sugar control), you'll need to discuss this product with your doctor or pharmacist first—damiana may increase the risk of low blood sugar.

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 is a single-ingredient supplement with limited human safety data and no established effectiveness in our records for any condition. The main caution is for people taking diabetes medications—the combination could lower blood sugar too much.

Check your exact prescriptions with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take drugs to manage blood sugar, and avoid it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Damiana Leaf Extract Powder by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Damiana Leaf Extract Powder by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Leaf Extract Powder 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 Powder 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. The safety data aren't sufficient to know either way, so the facts advise against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction or energy?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish it. It's been used traditionally for sexual dysfunction, but we rate that as having insufficient reliable evidence to say it works. Your doctor can discuss whether it might be worth trying for your situation.
What's in this powder—just damiana, or are there fillers?
Just damiana. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed, so you're getting the extract by itself.
Is damiana safe for everyday use?
Small amounts in food or tea are generally well tolerated, but human safety data are limited and we don't know about long-term use. At very high doses, it's caused severe muscle spasms. Stick with small amounts, and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you plan to use it regularly.
Can I mix this with my diabetes medication?
You'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist first. Damiana can lower blood sugar, so taking it alongside diabetes drugs might lower your levels too much. They can advise you on whether it's safe for you and whether your dose needs adjusting.
