HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Leaf Powder 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 is pure damiana leaf powder — a single active ingredient with a long history in herbal medicine. There are no inactive fillers or other 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 we hold on damiana is limited. For sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works for any of these uses.

If you're considering damiana for one of these reasons, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to weigh what limited data exists against other options.

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 small food or tea amounts for most adults, but human safety data are limited overall. At very high doses — 200 grams of damiana extract — some people have experienced serious effects including tetanus-like convulsions and symptoms resembling strychnine poisoning, though this is not a typical dose.

Damiana should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as there isn't enough safety data to know it's safe.

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?

  • 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 — including insulin, sulfonylureas, or any medication that lowers blood glucose — check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting damiana. The risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is Moderate and documented.

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.

This single-ingredient powder may appeal to those interested in traditional herbal support, but evidence for its effectiveness is not established in our data. If you take diabetes medication, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the risk of low blood sugar is real.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off-limits. It's worth a conversation with your own healthcare provider about whether this is right for you.

Damiana Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Damiana Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Leaf 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 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 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 it's best to avoid it during both. Talk with your doctor if you're considering it and are pregnant or nursing.
What's damiana actually used for?
Traditionally it's been used for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, mood, cognitive function, and constipation. However, our data show there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works for any of these. Your doctor can discuss what the broader evidence suggests and whether it might be worth trying.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Human safety data are limited, so mild side effects aren't well documented. That said, very high doses — 200 grams of extract — have caused serious effects like convulsions and symptoms resembling poisoning. Normal amounts are unlikely to cause that, but it's why we recommend caution and a conversation with your pharmacist if you have health concerns.
I take insulin. Can I use this product?
Not without checking first. Damiana may lower blood glucose, and combined with your insulin it could cause dangerously low blood sugar. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they may need to adjust your insulin dose or monitor you more closely.
Is this product just the powder, or does it have fillers?
This is pure damiana leaf powder with no inactive fillers or other ingredients added.
