HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dill by Herbal Terra

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: Dill Weed Extract, Dry. Dill is an herb that's been used traditionally for various purposes, though the evidence for most of them is limited.

The liquid also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to create the final formula.

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 Dill product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dill'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 dill's effectiveness is incomplete in our data. For aging skin, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), labor pain, and menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research hasn't been thorough enough yet to say one way or the other.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dill

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.

When you use dill in food amounts, it's generally well tolerated with no major safety concerns. At medicinal doses (like in a supplement), the safety profile hasn't been studied thoroughly, so caution is warranted.

Some people are allergic to dill — reactions can range from itching and rash to swelling around the eyes, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis with vomiting and diarrhea. Topical contact with dill juice or the plant can cause skin reactions including photodermatosis (a sun-related rash) and contact dermatitis.

Dill is rated Possibly Unsafe in pregnancy based on current safety data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant. There isn't enough data on file about dill and breastfeeding to know whether it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dill

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 — Dill.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 87 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 you start, check if you take any antidiabetes drugs (like glimepiride or glyburide) or lithium. Both are Moderate-severity interactions, and you'll need dose monitoring or adjustment with either one.

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 worth a conversation with your pharmacist if you're on blood-sugar medication or lithium. Even if you're not on those, its effectiveness for most uses isn't well established yet.

A real advantage: food-level amounts have a solid safety record, but medicinal concentrates need more caution and monitoring.

Dill Weed Extract, Dry2 drug types · 87 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dill extract might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Dill is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, dill might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Dill by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Dill by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dill has a known interaction with 87 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dill 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?
The safety data rates dill as Possibly Unsafe in pregnancy, so you should not use it without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. They can weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
What is dill extract actually for?
Dill has been used traditionally for aging skin, cholesterol levels, labor pain, and menstrual cramps, but we don't have enough reliable evidence to say how well it works for any of those purposes.
Is this safe if I only use food amounts?
Yes — dill in food amounts is generally well tolerated. The safety concern is with concentrated supplements or medicinal doses, which haven't been studied as thoroughly.
Can I have an allergic reaction to dill?
Yes. Some people are allergic to dill. Reactions can include itching, rash, and swelling around the eyes — or in rare cases, anaphylaxis with vomiting and diarrhea. If that's you, avoid this product.
What are the side effects?
Dill is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, but a complete safety review hasn't been done. Topical contact with dill juice or the plant can cause skin irritation, rash, or a sun-related reaction in some people.
Does dill really lower blood sugar?
Animal research shows dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels, which is why it can pose a risk if you're already on a diabetes medication. That doesn't mean it's an effective treatment for diabetes — just that it has an effect.
