HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Stimulation Complex Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 2026

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 (0.13 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has three active ingredients in liquid extract form: birch glycerite, boldo glycerite, and northern prickly ash glycerite. The inactive ingredients are glycerin (a natural sweetener and preservative) and chocolate flavoring.

Each ingredient is included in a proprietary blend, which means the exact amounts of each aren't listed separately on the label.

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 we hold doesn't establish that any of these ingredients work for digestive stimulation or any other condition. Birch, boldo, and prickly ash all carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings across the conditions they're used for — meaning the studies either don't exist, are too small or low-quality, or are too mixed to draw firm conclusions.

If digestive support is what you're after, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's actually proven to help.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Birch Boldo Northern Prickly Ash

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 2 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.

Boldo is the safety concern here. It contains ascaridole, a liver toxin, and documented cases of hepatotoxicity — including elevated liver enzymes and jaundice — have been reported with boldo supplements, even though food amounts are generally well tolerated.

Common side effects with boldo at medicinal doses include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Birch can cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to birch pollen or birch products, and one case of allergic skin contact dermatitis has been reported.

Prickly ash has limited safety data and is best used short-term only. None of these ingredients should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding — birch and prickly ash lack enough safety information, and boldo is considered unsafe because it may stimulate the uterus.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Northern Prickly Ash, Birch, Boldo.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 579 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 using this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (the boldo interaction is Moderate), drugs that affect the liver, lithium, warfarin, tacrolimus, water pills, acid-reducing medications like H2-blockers, antacids, or proton pump inhibitors. Boldo's liver toxicity risk is the most serious concern, so liver health and any liver disease should be discussed with your provider.

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.

Boldo Glycerite Liquid Extract5 drug types · 482 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking boldo with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
Animal and in vitro research shows that boldine, a constituent of boldo, has antiplatelet activity. In one case report, an adult taking a combination of boldo and fenugreek with warfarin experienced an increase in international normalized ratio (INR); however, it is unclear if this effect was due to boldo, fenugreek, the combination, or another factor.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking boldo with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of hepatic injury and disease.
Boldo leaf contains ascaridole, a known liver toxin. Many cases of hepatotoxicity, including elevated liver transaminase levels and jaundice, have been reported in patients taking boldo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking boldo with lithium might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Boldo is believed to have diuretic effects. Theoretically, these diuretic effects might reduce the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Tacrolimus (Prograf)

Taking boldo with tacrolimus may decrease the levels and clinical effects of tacrolimus, potentially increasing the risk of transplant rejection.
In one case report, a patient with a long-term history of stable tacrolimus levels developed subtherapeutic levels after taking boldo 300 mg twice daily orally for several weeks. Tacrolimus levels returned to normal after discontinuing boldo. However, the mechanism of this interaction is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

A combination of boldo and fenugreek was thought to be associated with an increased international normalized ratio (INR) in a female on warfarin. It is not clear if boldo, fenugreek, or the combination played a role in this interaction. Therefore, boldo may have additive effects with warfarin.

Digestive Stimulation Complex Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Digestive Stimulation Complex Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Digestive Stimulation Complex Chocolate Flavor has a known interaction with 578 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestive Stimulation Complex Chocolate Flavor 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing?
No — none of these ingredients have enough safety data for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and boldo is considered unsafe because it may stimulate the uterus. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safe options during pregnancy and lactation.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Boldo can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting at medicinal doses. Birch may trigger allergic reactions if you're sensitive to birch pollen. Rare but serious: boldo has been linked to liver damage (hepatotoxicity) in case reports, so watch for yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or unusual fatigue.
Does this actually help with digestion?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that birch, boldo, or prickly ash work for digestive complaints. All three carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings. If you're having digestive trouble, ask your doctor or pharmacist what's actually proven to help.
Is boldo safe to take long-term?
The safety data suggests boldo should be used short-term and in low doses only, because ascaridole — a liver toxin in the leaf — can cause hepatotoxicity with prolonged use. Cases of elevated liver enzymes and jaundice have been reported.
What is prickly ash supposed to do?
Prickly ash is included in this product for digestive support. However, we have no effectiveness ratings for it in our data, and its safety profile is limited — it's best used short-term only.
