HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Extra Strength Cabbage 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection

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: a concentrated cabbage extract at 450 mg per capsule, formulated as a 4:1 extract (meaning the plant material is concentrated fourfold). The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water, which are inactive ingredients that help deliver the extract.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Cabbage's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Cabbage for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Breast engorgement — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for cabbage extract is limited. It's rated possibly effective for breast engorgement—a condition where breasts become swollen and uncomfortable.

For other uses—including bladder, lung, colorectal, and gastric cancer prevention, and high cholesterol—the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cabbage

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.

Cabbage is generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplements and large medicinal amounts haven't been well studied. Topically applied cabbage leaves can occasionally cause contact dermatitis (skin irritation).

Allergic reactions to cabbage itself are rare, but people allergic to broccoli or other Brassicaceae family vegetables (like cauliflower) may react to cabbage as well, since they share similar surface proteins. There isn't enough safety data on file for this supplement during pregnancy, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant.

It's rated likely safe during breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Cabbage

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 — Cabbage.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 325 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 this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use blood thinners like warfarin, diabetes medications, acetaminophen, sedatives like oxazepam, or any drug metabolized by CYP1A2 enzymes or glucuronide conjugation pathways. Cabbage extract may reduce how well these medications work or increase your risk of low blood sugar, so your healthcare provider may need to adjust doses or monitor you more closely.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cabbage extract is a single-ingredient supplement generally well tolerated at food doses, but concentrated forms lack robust safety data. The main concern is its moderate interaction potential with common medications including blood thinners, diabetes drugs, pain relievers, and sedatives.

If you take any regular prescriptions, check them against this product's interactions before you start, and discuss it with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's a fit for you.

Cabbage Extract6 drug types · 325 drugs

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)

Cabbage might increase clearance and reduce the effects of acetaminophen.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and Brussels sprout decreases acetaminophen levels by as much as 16%, with some evidence suggesting that this effect is due to increased elimination through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, cabbage might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vivo research suggests that cabbage might have hypoglycemic effects.

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

Theoretically, cabbage might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Some animal research suggests that cabbage or its constituent indole-3-carbinol might increase drug metabolism and elimination by stimulating CYP1A2 activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, cabbage might increase clearance and decrease the effects of drugs metabolized through glucuronide conjugation.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and Brussels sprout decreases levels of some drugs metabolized through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Oxazepam (Serax)

Cabbage might increase clearance and reduce the effects of oxazepam.
A small clinical study shows that daily consumption of cabbage and brussels sprout decreases oxazepam levels by as much as 17%, with some evidence suggesting that this effect is due to increased elimination through glucuronide conjugation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, cabbage might decrease the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
Cabbage contains vitamin K. If consumed in large quantities, cabbage might decrease the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.

Extra Strength Cabbage 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Extra Strength Cabbage 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Extra Strength Cabbage 450 mg 4:1 Extract has a known interaction with 325 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Extra Strength Cabbage 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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.
Does cabbage extract actually work for anything?
The evidence is mixed. It's possibly effective for breast engorgement (swollen, uncomfortable breasts). For cancer prevention and cholesterol, the data we hold shows insufficient evidence to say whether it works. Talk with your doctor about whether it's a good fit for your specific health goal.
Can I take this if I'm allergic to broccoli or cauliflower?
Not safely without checking first. Cabbage shares the same surface proteins as broccoli and cauliflower that can trigger allergies. If you're allergic to other Brassicaceae family vegetables, you may react to cabbage too. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
There isn't enough safety data on file for concentrated cabbage supplements during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking it if you're pregnant.
What are the side effects I should know about?
When applied topically to skin, cabbage can occasionally cause contact dermatitis or itching. Allergic reactions to cabbage itself are rare, but serious reactions (anaphylaxis) have been reported with related vegetables in people with existing allergies. Stop using it and contact your doctor if you develop rash, itching, or trouble breathing.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Cabbage extract speeds up how your liver breaks down and eliminates certain drugs—through CYP1A2 enzymes and glucuronide conjugation pathways—which lowers their levels in your blood and may reduce their effectiveness. It also contains vitamin K, which can interfere with blood thinners like warfarin.
