HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Detox Support 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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This powder contains three active ingredients. Burdock is a root traditionally used in detox formulas, though we don't have solid evidence it works for the conditions it's marketed for here.

Black walnut is a tree nut with a limited safety record in humans. Boneset is an herb that contains compounds potentially toxic to the liver, which is why it's used cautiously and only short-term, if at all.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence on all three ingredients is insufficient. Burdock, black walnut, and boneset are each rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for the uses this product claims — acne, skin aging, cold prevention, wound healing, and others.

That doesn't mean they don't work; it means the research hasn't built a solid case yet. You're taking these on faith and historical tradition rather than proven effect.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Burdock Black Walnut Boneset

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Burdock is well tolerated as a food and in short-term use, but human safety data are sparse. It's been linked to rare allergic reactions including contact dermatitis and anaphylaxis, and one case of liver damage was reported — though it's unclear whether burdock alone was to blame.

Black walnut is tolerated orally, but the leaf, bark, and hull can cause stomach upset and skin irritation due to their tannin content. Boneset often causes nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting; it may damage the liver at high doses because it contains alkaloids that haven't been fully characterized for toxicity.

Burdock should be avoided during pregnancy due to possible effects on the uterus, and there's not enough safety data for breastfeeding. Black walnut is likely safe in pregnancy but possibly unsafe while breastfeeding.

Boneset is rated possibly unsafe in both pregnancy and lactation. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Burdock Black Walnut Boneset

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Burdock, Boneset.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 209 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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — burdock may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take any drugs that induce CYP3A4 (liver-processing enzymes), such as carbamazepine; boneset may interact.

Any other medications should also be run through the checker on this page to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a three-ingredient detox powder with a Moderate drug interaction involving blood thinners and one involving certain liver-processing drugs — and no proven benefit for any of the conditions listed. All three ingredients have limited human safety data and potential for stomach upset, allergic reaction, or liver issues.

If you take any prescription medications, especially blood thinners or drugs metabolized by your liver, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Pregnant or nursing people should do the same.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Detox Support Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Burdock, Powder1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking burdock with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.

In vitro research shows that lignans from burdock reduce rabbit platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet activating factor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Boneset, Powder1 drug type · 87 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Inducers

Boneset belongs to the genus Eupatorium, and many species of this genus contain hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Hepatotoxic PAs are substrates of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Theoretically, drugs that induce CYP3A4 might increase the conversion of PAs to toxic metabolites. Some drugs that induce CYP3A4 include carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), rifampin, rifabutin (Mycobutin), and others.

Detox Support Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Detox Support Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Detox Support Powder has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Detox Support Powder contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is burdock safe to use while I'm pregnant?
No — the data advise against medicinal amounts of burdock during pregnancy because of lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using any product containing it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Burdock in this powder may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with blood thinners. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review this with you before you start.
What does this detox powder actually do?
The evidence isn't there yet. All three ingredients — burdock, black walnut, and boneset — are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for the uses claimed on this product, like acne, skin health, or cold prevention.
Can black walnut cause allergic reactions?
Yes. Black walnut is a tree nut, and tree nuts are a major food allergen. People with nut allergies can have serious reactions. Also, the leaf, bark, and hull can cause skin irritation and stomach upset because they contain tannins.
Is boneset safe to use long-term?
No. Boneset should be used only short-term, if at all, because it contains compounds that may be toxic to the liver. It commonly causes nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, and it's rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Does this powder contain any fillers or other ingredients besides the three listed?
No — according to the label, there are no inactive ingredients listed.
