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 liquid contains one active ingredient: damiana leaf glycerite extract. Damiana is a plant extract prepared using glycerin as the extraction medium.

The product also includes glycerin and vanilla flavor as inactive ingredients to improve taste and texture.

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 for damiana's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. Damiana has been studied for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, and depression, but all six uses show insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it actually works.

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 tolerated well at the small amounts you'd get in food or tea, but human safety data are limited overall. At very high doses — 200 grams of damiana extract — it's caused serious muscle symptoms resembling tetanus or strychnine poisoning.

The available data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

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 antidiabetes drugs, double-check this product with your doctor or pharmacist first — damiana may lower your blood sugar further and raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

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 product is best considered by people curious about damiana's traditional uses who aren't taking diabetes medication. If you're on any blood sugar medication, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Because human safety data are limited overall, it's worth confirming with your healthcare provider that it's right for you.

Damiana Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Damiana Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Damiana Vanilla Flavor 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 Vanilla Flavor 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?
The safety data advise against it for both pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation.
Does damiana actually work for sexual dysfunction?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Damiana has been studied for sexual dysfunction, but the research isn't strong enough yet to say how well it works.
What's the difference between this liquid and a damiana capsule?
This is a glycerite — damiana extract made using glycerin. The active ingredient is the same; liquid form just lets you swallow or mix it into drinks differently than a capsule.
Are there any side effects?
At normal doses, damiana is generally well tolerated, though human safety data are limited. At very high doses (200 grams of extract), it's caused serious muscle symptoms. Stick to the label dose and you shouldn't expect problems, but check with your pharmacist if you have concerns.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Animal research shows damiana lowers blood sugar, so taking it with your diabetes drug could increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — they'll know your dose and can advise whether it's safe for you.
