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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your diabetes medications before taking this product — damiana may lower blood sugar and raise the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes 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 is a single-ingredient product for people curious about traditional uses, though the evidence for its benefits isn't solid yet. If you take diabetes medication, you'll want to check with your pharmacist before starting it.
Talk to your pharmacist if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
