HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dill Seed 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

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 seed glycerite liquid extract. It's flavored with chocolate and mixed with glycerin, which is the liquid base.

That's it — no fillers or binders beyond the inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Dill's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive and menstrual comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dysmenorrhea, Digestive upset, Colic, Gas, Bloating.
  • The closest evidence on file: Dill is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dysmenorrhea (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that dill seed works for the conditions it's sometimes used for — aging skin, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), labor pain, or period cramps (dysmenorrhea) all fall short of reliable proof. If you're considering this for one of those reasons, talk with us about what the science actually shows.

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.

Dill in food amounts is generally well tolerated. As a concentrated supplement like this one, the safety data is thin — we don't have thorough studies on medicinal doses.

Some people are allergic to dill; reactions have ranged from mild (itching, rash, swollen eyes) to severe (anaphylaxis, vomiting, diarrhea). If you've never had dill before, start cautiously.

Topical contact can cause dermatitis or a sun-sensitive skin reaction.

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.

Check your antidiabetes medications (like glimepiride or glyburide) — dill may lower blood sugar further and require a dose change. If you take lithium, dill's diuretic effect could raise lithium levels.

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.

This is a single-ingredient dill extract that carries real interaction risks with blood sugar drugs and lithium. If you take either of those, or any other prescription medications, check them against this product before you buy.

Even if you're clear on interactions, the effectiveness data is weak for what dill is often sold to do.

Dill Seed Glycerite Liquid Extract2 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 Seed Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Dill Seed Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dill Seed Chocolate Flavor 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 Seed Chocolate 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?
Dill seed is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy, so we'd advise against it — talk with your obstetrician first. We don't have safety data on file for breastfeeding, so ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it's okay for you.
Does dill seed actually work for high cholesterol or skin aging?
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to say yes. Both conditions show insufficient reliable evidence to rate, so this product hasn't been proven for either one.
What if I'm allergic to dill?
Allergic reactions to dill range from mild (itching, rash, eye swelling) to serious (anaphylaxis, vomiting, diarrhea). If you've never had dill or suspect an allergy, don't use this product — or talk to your doctor first.
Is this safe to take long-term?
We don't have thorough safety data on medicinal doses of dill seed over time. Food amounts are generally well tolerated, but a concentrated supplement like this one hasn't been studied enough to say for sure.
Why does the label say chocolate flavor?
The product is a liquid extract mixed with glycerin (the liquid base) and flavored with chocolate to make it taste better. Chocolate flavor is an inactive ingredient — it doesn't affect how the dill works.
