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.

Evodia Powder is a single-ingredient supplement: evodia powder, a botanical extract. 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

This is a single-ingredient Evodia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Evodia'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.

We hold no effectiveness data for evodia powder in our records. The evidence establishing whether it works for any particular purpose is not on file here, so we can't tell you what to expect.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Evodia

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.

Limited human safety data exist for evodia, so you'll want to use it carefully and under professional guidance. Animal studies have raised a red flag: evodia has induced QT prolongation (a heart-rhythm abnormality) and a dangerous arrhythmia called Torsade de pointes at certain doses.

It's unclear whether human doses would produce the same effects, but this is a genuine concern. During pregnancy, evodia is rated possibly unsafe — it's been traditionally avoided, and we don't have enough safety data to reassure you.

The same goes for breastfeeding: there isn't enough information to know it's safe, so avoid it while nursing. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Evodia

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 — Evodia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 951 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 evodia, double-check with your pharmacist if you take QT interval-prolonging heart medications, blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity), theophylline for asthma, or any medication metabolized by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP3A4, or CYP2E1. If any of those fit you, run your exact drugs through the search tool on this page.

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.

Evodia is a single-ingredient botanical with broad interactions — especially with heart medications, blood thinners, and many drugs your liver metabolizes. The safety profile in humans is thin, and animal studies hint at heart-rhythm risks.

This is one to run past your pharmacist or doctor first, particularly if you take any regular medications.

Evodia, Powder11 drug types · 950 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking evodia with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro and animal studies show that rutaecarpine, a constituent of evodia, inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Caffeine

Theoretically, evodia might decrease the levels and clinical effects of caffeine.
In animal models, evodia extract decreases caffeine levels by up to 71%. Evodia extract induces hepatic cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme, of which caffeine is a substrate.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Theoretically, evodia might decrease the levels and clinical effects of chlorzoxazone.
Animal research shows that administration of rutaecarpine, a constituent of evodia, with chlorzoxazone reduces the area under the curve (AUC) of chlorzoxazone by 84% and increases its clearance by 646%. This interaction is likely due to induction of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) by rutaecarpine .

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Inhibitors

Theoretically, drugs that inhibit CYP1A2 might increase the levels and clinical effects of evodia.
The evodia constituent rutaecarpine is metabolized by CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Evodia might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates through induction of CYP1A2.
Evodia extract and the evodia constituent rutaecarpine induce hepatic CYP1A2 enzyme activity. Evodia decreases levels of theophylline and caffeine, CYP1A2 substrates, by about 70% in animal models.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, evodia might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP2E1 substrates through induction of CYP2E1.
Animal research suggests that rutaecarpine, a constituent of evodia, induces CYP2E1 activity. In rats, rutaecarpine increases markers of CYP2E1 activity, and administration of rutaecarpine with chlorzoxazone, a known CYP2E1 substrate, reduces the area under the curve (AUC) of chlorzoxazone by 84% and increases its clearance by 646%.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Inducers

Theoretically, taking CYP3A4 inducers might decrease the levels and clinical effects of evodia.
Animal research shows that concomitant administration of dexamethasone, a known CYP3A4 inducer, with the alkaloid constituents of evodia significantly reduces the area under the curve (AUC), maximum concentration (Cmax), and half-life of these constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Inhibitors

Theoretically, CYP3A4 inhibitors might increase the levels and clinical effects of evodia.
Animal research shows that concomitant administration of ketoconazole, a known CYP3A4 inhibitor, with the alkaloid constituents of evodia significantly increases the area under the curve (AUC), maximum concentration (Cmax), and half-life of these constituents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, evodia might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that evodia extract inhibits hepatic CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Qt Interval-Prolonging Drugs

Theoretically, evodia might have an additive effect with drugs that prolong the QT interval, potentially increasing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
Evodia has demonstrated dose-dependent activity as a proarrhythmic agent in animal and in vitro studies. Evodia infusion in animals extends the action duration potential and induces prolongation of the QT interval and Torsade de pointes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Theophylline

Theoretically, evodia might decrease the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
The evodia constituent rutaecarpine decreases theophylline levels and half-life by about 70% in animal models. This constituent appears to induce hepatic cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme activity, of which theophylline is a substrate. Rutaecarpine is the primary active constituent of evodia; however, it is not known if the whole crude extract of evodia also causes this interaction.

Evodia Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Evodia Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Evodia Powder has a known interaction with 950 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Evodia Powder 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.
Is evodia safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Evodia is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and has been traditionally avoided; there simply isn't enough safety data. For breastfeeding, the same applies — not enough information exists to know it's safe. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor before considering this.
What heart safety issues does evodia have?
In animal studies, evodia has prolonged the QT interval (a measure of heart electrical activity) and caused a serious arrhythmia called Torsade de pointes. It acts as a proarrhythmic agent — meaning it can trigger abnormal rhythms — in a dose-dependent way. We don't know yet what dose might do this in humans, which is why caution is warranted, especially if you take any heart medication.
Can I take evodia with blood thinners?
Theoretically, evodia might increase bleeding and bruising risk if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, because a constituent of evodia inhibits platelet clumping. This is rated Moderate severity. Definitely check with your pharmacist before combining them.
Why does evodia interact with so many medications?
Evodia affects how your liver's enzymes (especially CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and CYP2E1) break down drugs — it can speed up breakdown of some and slow it for others. This means it can lower the effectiveness of some medications or raise the levels of others, rippling across many different drug types.
What should I know about using evodia safely?
Because human safety data are limited and animal studies flag heart-rhythm concerns, use it only under professional guidance. Do not use it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking heart medications, blood thinners, or any drug with a narrow therapeutic window without talking to your pharmacist first.
