HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Damiana Leaves 600 mg by Nature's Way

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 600 mg per capsule. The capsules also hold two inactive ingredients — hypromellose and silica — which are used as a capsule shell and anti-caking agent.

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: traditional libido support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Erectile dysfunction (ED), Sexual dysfunction, Low 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 for damiana isn't established. Our data shows 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 research we hold isn't solid enough to make a call either way.

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 you'd get from food or tea for most adults, but human safety data are limited. At very high doses — researchers tested 200 grams of damiana extract — it caused serious muscle spasms and convulsion-like symptoms.

Because safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding are not adequate, the data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
