HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Eleuthero & Guarana Mint 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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product contains 2 active ingredients as a glycerite liquid extract blend: eleuthero (also called Siberian ginseng) and guarana. Both are herbal extracts designed to be taken by mouth.
The inactive ingredients are glycerin and mint flavor.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For eleuthero, the evidence supports possibly effective use for genital herpes. For other conditions — including familial Mediterranean fever, bipolar disorder, osteoporosis, and chronic fatigue syndrome — the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it.
For guarana, the evidence for cancer-related anorexia, anxiety, athletic performance, cancer-related fatigue, and chemotherapy-related fatigue is insufficient to rate. The data we hold doesn't establish that either ingredient is effective for general energy, stamina, or other common wellness uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Eleuthero is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but long-term safety data is limited. The most common side effects are digestive upset, diarrhea, nausea, headache, and rash.
Nervousness occurred in about 7 out of 100 people in one study, and some have reported anxiety, irritability, or low mood — more likely at higher doses. It may also raise blood pressure or heart rate, particularly in people with heart disease.
Guarana is well tolerated in moderate amounts but is high in caffeine, so large doses may cause stomach burning, nausea, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, tremors, anxiety, or headache. Because of its caffeine content, guarana should be avoided during pregnancy and limited or avoided while breastfeeding.
Eleuthero should also be avoided during pregnancy; there isn't enough safety data while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take ephedrine or stimulant-containing drugs (Major risk), any seizure or anticonvulsant medication, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, heart medications including digoxin, blood sugar medications, immune-suppressing drugs, or antidepressants or antipsychotics that affect how caffeine is metabolized. If you take disulfiram (Antabuse), dipyridamole (Persantine) before stress testing, or any drug that involves liver metabolism, confirm it's safe first.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product combines two herbal stimulants with documented interactions across dozens of common medications and a major interaction with ephedrine. If you take any prescription drugs — especially heart medications, blood thinners, seizure medications, antidepressants, or diabetes drugs — check each one with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
Because of caffeine content and limited long-term safety data, it's not suitable in pregnancy and should be limited or avoided while breastfeeding.

Eleuthero & Guarana Mint Flavor by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita's Eleuthero & Guarana Mint Flavor contains two active ingredients, and both have documented interactions with medications.
The most serious is guarana's Major-severity interaction with ephedrine — combining them may increase the risk of serious stimulant side effects. Beyond that, eleuthero may theoretically affect how your body breaks down or handles several drug types, including blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs), heart medications like digoxin, blood sugar drugs, and immune-suppressing medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Guarana, because it's high in caffeine, also interacts with anti-seizure medications (valproate and felbamate), a medication used for alcohol dependence (disulfiram), a heart stress-test drug (dipyridamole), an anticonvulsant (carbamazepine), an antidepressant (fluvoxamine), and an antipsychotic (clozapine). Most of these are Moderate severity.
Elementhero carries Minor-severity theoretical interactions with certain antidepressants and pain relievers metabolized through your liver (CYP2D6 substrates), though human studies suggest this may not happen in practice. It also theoretically affects how your liver handles other common drugs (CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 substrates) and may interfere with how cells transport certain medications (P-glycoprotein substrates).
Altogether, these interactions span 1,337 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions before starting.

For each ingredient in Eleuthero & Guarana Mint Flavor with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Eleuthero & Guarana Glycerite Liquid Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, eleuthero may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that a constituent of eleuthero, dihydroxybenzoic acid, appears to inhibit platelet aggregation. Concomitant use with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, eleuthero might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that certain constituents of eleuthero have hypoglycemic activity in both healthy and diabetic animals. A small study in adults with type 2 diabetes also shows that taking eleuthero for 3 months can lower blood glucose levels. However, one very small study in healthy individuals shows that taking powdered eleuthero 3 grams, 40 minutes prior to a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test, significantly increases postprandial blood glucose levels when compared with placebo. These contradictory findings might be due to patient-specific variability and variability in active ingredient ratios.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero inhibit CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP2C9. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Eleuthero might increase serum digoxin levels and increase the risk of side effects.
In one case report, a 74-year-old male who was stabilized on digoxin presented with an elevated serum digoxin level after starting an eleuthero supplement, without symptoms of toxicity. After stopping the supplement, serum digoxin levels returned to normal. It is not clear whether this was due to a pharmacokinetic interaction or to interference with the digoxin assay. Although the product was found to be free of digoxin and digitoxin, it was not tested for other contaminants.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, eleuthero might interfere with immunosuppressive drugs because of its immunostimulant activity.
Animal and in vitro research shows that eleuthero extracts have immunomodulatory effects, including increasing cellular and humoral activity.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eleuthero can inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. However, it is too soon to tell if this is clinically important. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP2D6. However, research in healthy human volunteers has found that taking eleuthero 485 mg twice daily for 14 days does not inhibit CYP2D6 drug metabolism.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, eleuthero might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro and animal research suggest that standardized extracts of eleuthero might inhibit CYP3A4. However, research in healthy human volunteers has found that taking eleuthero 485 mg twice daily for 14 days does not inhibit CYP3A4 drug metabolism.
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)
Theoretically, eleuthero might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by OATP.
In vitro research suggests that eleuthero inhibits OATP2B1, which might reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP2B1. Due to the weak inhibitory effect identified in this study, this interaction is not likely to be clinically significant.
